She couldn't really get going - it wasn't flowing like she wanted - and Coco didn't give her anything

Her instagram following has gone from like 13k to 260k over the fortnight, that is HUGE for a female tennis player. Shows how some results, eg a deep run at a home slam can really boost up your fanbase.

Yes, I love these type of stories.
It reminds me a little bit of the Chinese player shuai Zheng who couldnt make ends meet and was going to retire after the Australian Open but then came through qualifying and got to the quarter finals and has gone on to have a very good career since

In the doubles Paolini and Errani #2 beat Andreeva and Shnaider #4 by 0 and 1. A & S had four consecutive bagel sets on their way to the semis and were looking good !
