[ashkor87]

this is a (relatively) big tournament.. two of the most under-rated players are meeting each other now.. Samsonova vs Alexandrova.. unfortunatley, both Russian, so we didnt get to see them at W last year.. this year, who knows?.. On grass, Alexandrova's movement should be the factor that decides it - Samsonova is very good too because of her serve .. we shall see what happen.

[ponchi101]

That, plus there are only two big tournaments this week, so only 64 players will cash a check.
Tough to be ranked 65 these days.

[ashkor87]

Good win for Coco, and Alexandrova...

[ti-amie]

It was a good win for Cori. I've watched Alexandrova in the past and she seems to have the same issue as Sabalenka - losing the plot late in matches.

[JTContinental]

Alexandrova overhits a lot of balls when she gets tight

[ashkor87]

I haven't noticed that..she squeezed out the win against Kudermetova in a tight match last week. We shall see ...

[ashkor87]

Rybakina beaten by Vekic...doesn't bother me because all these prep tournaments don't anyway presage much...better to peak at W than now.
