Between her SF meltdown at RG and that one she had at the USO, it doesn't appear she ever recovered. She has slamitis = failure to perform at a high level during majors.

Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas are playing mixed doubles just looked at the draw

 

[kskate2]

Beatrice is down 4-0 in the decider to Cociaretto. Does she turn this around?

Make that 5-0? she needs to jump over the net and take the racquet off Cociaretto ASAP

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well Bea didnt take my advice as Cocciaretto serving for the match 5-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cocciaretto takes out the No 13 seed Haddad Maia 36 64 61

Cocciaretto takes out the No 13 seed Haddad Maia 36 64 61

She probably should have skipped last week. She is defending SF and will lose a boatload of points

Svito comes through 62 in the decider

Whew. I was worried about my scrub

Is there more to this? I do not quite get what she is saying, other than perhaps bemoaning the obligatory Q & A after each match for the top players.

Not a lot more, I just posted her main points she was bemoaning the obligatory Qand A,, look I understand where she is coming from, answering the same questions over and over again, though a tennis journalist is just doing their job, asking the questions

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW with the 1st round exit yesterday, Haddad Maia loses 770 points from last years SF run, she drops to No 18 in the live rankings for now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going 3 sets in the match between Boutler v Badosa, Badosa just squeezed through in the 2nd set 7-5
BTW Katie Boulter has never won a tour match on clay!
Badosa comes through in 3 sets, though Katie pushed her all the way
Badosa d Boulter 64 57 64
