What a great result. This could really kick start her season.
She also posted on Instagram some of the disgusting private messages she gets following matches. Hopefully that's also a kick in the balls for the idiots sending them.
Well done Jodie. Good win. And a lesson in there for her - this opportunity only came about because she stayed strong against Friedsam instead of allowing herself to be derailed by her own frustrations. The rewards are there if she can keep herself together in the times her brain is going crazy.
Great tennis.
Lovely to come home to news of a win for Jodie -- and absolutely agree with you, Paul, that she got this opportunity because she didn't allow herself to be derailed in the previous match. She definitely has the tennis to be ranked much higher and, to be fair, she was clear in a recent press conference (at the AO, I think) that she knows she can be her own worst enemy and needs to deal with that. So it's good to see some (more) progress on that front and an excellent result.
