RE: Weeks 27 & 28 - The Championships, Wimbledon (Womens') (grass) - main draw

Katie broken from *40-15 to go 1-4* down. Careless double faults.

Gets one break back.

*2-4

PaulM · Tennis legend

11 double faults and broken again. This is really awful tennis.

2-5*

I've seen a lot of bad sets of tennis from Brits at Wimbledon over the last 30 years. That is up there.

7-6(7) 2-6 *0-0

As far as I'm concerned, that was pretty one-sided

Sonay played such superbly solid tennis

And with winners thrown in, too - almost twice the number that Tomova managed

She basically barely missed

And worked her angles SO well
I echo this, when Sonay changed gear she looked like she was cruising still, i.e. another gear to go to .. she looks easily her ranking with the assurance of a top 20 player .. she looks like a 30-35 player .. with the mental fragilities of the other top brits, what price her reaching brit number 1 .. if only she had a weapon other that calm grit

You too, the thought right out of my head! If Katie doesnt get through and Emma is swatted aside that could make Sonay the last woman standing.

Did not realise it could get worse than the Dart much last year. Ooooft

It is so bad I stopped watching and changed to see Jodie and Sonay enjoying themselves.

Good lord, Katie. The space between the Badosa first set and this is startling.

Same!

PaulM · Tennis legend

I am speechless with how pathetic this level of performance is. Sierra just has to plop the ball in court - Katie can't even get the most basic balls into court.

0-3*

Katie has soooo gone back to her game of years ago, mega defensive.

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Typical of Boulter in Slams unfortunately.

She creates / receives a path to the second week of a Slam wide enough to drive a bus through and then produces this abject fayre.

Barefoot · Lower Club Player

What a horror show, Ive stopped watching.

Danny1312 · Strong Club Player

So sad to see that! The commentary saying Sierra is playing the match of her life but Boulter really just handed her it. Worst match I think I've ever seen from a Brit! At least v Dart it got close...
