I don't know how the teenagers manage not to be aware that people are watching! Wimbledon...millions watching. Nottingham a handful probably. It must be daunting to be watched by a vast audience. I'm sure nerves get to some.

Well, just talking for one particular French elite player as a teenager, she played MILES better when people were watching. Played like a complete beginner if there was nobody. She liked the stage, the buzz. Dan Evans once said the same thing. Some people thrive on it.
Against Sato and Paszek, Mika was making all the running throughout the match, but missing attempted winners earlier on, getting better the longer it went on, as she got her eye in. Maybe the same story here.

Didnt serve it out 5-2 now but understandable given it would be her first senior title, bound to be some nerves.
