Just sad. She completely fell off the map. I don't want her to turn into a one slam wonder like Osta, but that appears to be happening.
It is sad, she has the ability to be a No 1 player, injuries have been a 'curse' for her, even in her junior days,

What is Ons doing? What good is it to spend all the $$ and energy to travel to these events and go out R1? She's not fit enough to play at the highest level. I wish she would take a page out of Nad's book and just say no mas.

Agree, her knee is still not 100% though she continues to play, quite frankly I am over her, she wont listen to her body at all, what is her coach and her trainer, which is her husband saying to her? she just lost to 1st set to WC Volynets 64

Coco has been in a funk this year,maybe time with sponsors is taking time away from training.

Tossip her form since the AO has been poor, she has a good draw at IW as well, I dont know what the problem is, her serve has gone AWOL especially in this match 10 DFs and counting, Brad has to stop with this Big Serve, it is more important to pick your spots and make sure your serve goes in, at times in match Coco looked like she was going to cry when she committed 2 DFs in a row

Something is off with her and she is not the same player that won the Open.I saw her father sitting with the coach and hopefully he is not coming back to coach her.

Maybe her father is there to give her support?

Tennis needs players like Burel who have variety ,there is enough of these ballbashers to go around.
