Mboko has only lost one match in 2025 so a tough opponent.

Ah ha, in looking up her details I see very fine form. I assumed her one loss was in rather more than one match - but it's actually one loss in 27!

4 successive titles ( 3 W35s and a W75 ) before losing in R1 to WR 195 in R1 in her last tournament before this one. Loads of wins over players in the 200s in the rankings, 2 wins and that loss to players in the 100s, with highest ranked player played this year being WR 172. Started the year WR 350 (CH 284), now WR 188.

She's certainly used to winning !

Now working .. but too painful to watch .. almost every other shot is a mistake, followed by shrugging of shoulders so looks like she's resigned to being unable to play one way or another .. maybe feeling her hip .. but it's not obvious in her movement

Actually now I've been watching for a while she is clearly struggling and not hitting through serve or shots properly.

I had it on Bet365 - well, at least, at the beginning and at the very end

But - based on yesterday's matches, and other ones this week - this result was never in question - I only watched 5 mins (and, sorry, Harriet, but had a big, big bet against you)

The main question is whether she's OK - there's been some really punishing matches this week - it can't be perfect - shorter wins (or losses, maybe) would have been better
