I did see some positive signs from Venus, ( for about an hour) remember this is her first game back in sometime., her young Swiss opponent, appears to have a good overall game, just 17 years of age.

Also coming from the clay to grass, sometimes players need more time to adjust to the new surface

It would really help, especially in the women's game, if Wimbledon was moved back a few weeks to early August. The surface change and inadequate time between the French Open and Wimbledon makes for some low quality women's tennis at Wimbledon. I've seen some high school girls tennis matches played at a higher quality than some of the women's matches at Wimbledon.

Because she didn't do much the first part of last year. Wait until summer when she drops that Cinci title and some other results.

Tsitsipas on relationship with Paula Badosa (source The Tennis Letter),

" I've met many woman in my life. I can say that very confidently I've never felt so attracted and found so much beauty and interest in a woman. I told Paula that and she said the same, I was happy to that, its such a special connection".
