LOL! I think it is a case of transitioning from clay to grass, some players adapt more, than others

I might would have bought that if she should had won a few rounds, but she went out early at RG and has basically had 2 weeks to get ready

I looked up Marta's results at Wimbledon, she appears not to be that good on grass, went out Round 3 in 2023 no better the year before either..Maybe it isnt a surface that suits her
