Nice to see Bianca Andreescu in a tennis schedule.Playing her first match since October 2021 tomorrow in WTA500 Stuttgart.

 

[Ellentonboy]

Nice to Andreescu back, as well as have Emma play. Interesting to see Giorgi in a clay event, curious as to just how well she will do.

Sorry about Camila she lost, in 3 sets,I dont think her game play suits clay.

No. She's not patient enough to construct the points necessary on the dirt.

She could be absolutely lethal on the grass if she just harnessed those errors.

Cicak in the chair for Bebe's match.

Bianca rewarded in the t/break in the 1st set 76(5) on second serves returns

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bianca wins her first match back at Stuttgart over Niemeier 76 (5) 63....of course there was rust in her game to be expected, I feel the win will mentally do the world of good for Bianca who was thinking of retiring from tennis when she had the time off the court.
Bianca will play Sabalenka in her next match....Bianca's return of serve,especially on 2nd serves was a good feature of her match today.

I thought she looked good for someone who hasn't played in 7 months. She'll have to return well again and she could force Saba into errors. Someone who didn't feature well today is Coco. I don't know where her head is at recently. She's kind of all over the place and losing a lot of winnable matches.

Coco was up 4-0 in the 1st set and then 'imploded'...agree of late she is losing winnable matches

Coco needs to partner with Venus and Serena to teach her how to be a champion. I know its a wild statement but someone needs to give her the confidence that maybe a current player can provide.

I think Coco needs maybe another coach to take her game to the next level quite frankly,I feel her parents have not enough experience,
