I remember when Venus lost to Karantecheva,and that was a kiss of death for the bulgarian career.She thought she has made it,and I remember her roided father celebrating in the stands.I.hope she wins a set..

Libema Open in the Netherlands, and the Rothesay Open ( Nottingham) 2 grass tournaments starting in the WTA in 1 day
Not much time for players to dust off their clay feet and get their grass feet in action

Play is suspended at the Rothesay Open ( Nottingham, England) due to rain, welcome back to grass play in England lol!

Maria Sakkari the top seed managed to win her match in SS against X.Wang 62 76(6) a much needed win for Maria, ( before the rain suspended play)

In the Libema Open ( Netherlands),
A 3 1/2 hour best of three match on grass is the worst of both worlds, probably, please don't do this again :)

Liudmila Samsonova (2) wins in 3 1/2 hours in the first rd, against Lena Papadakis 75 67(5) 76(3)

I remember when Venus lost in the first round of 2019 Wimbledon. At least she lost to a future top 5 player and likely slam champion that day.

Yep, Vee didn't put her away when she had the break in the 2nd set. I don't see how she will outlast this teen. She'll probably lose it 6-2
