    I enjoyed Blinkova's aggressive play and frequent forays to the net - she deserved to win this match.

    Blinkova can bring some game at times, but Andreescu was TOTALLY lackluster out there on the day. She was quite sluggish on her feet, which was the most obvious deficiency. As a result, she was hitting tons of short balls that Blinkova wisely pounced upon. Bianca just seemed to lack any fire or urgency today. That’s not her game. Maybe this event held little interest for her or she woke up feeling undercooked, but it’s a complete change from her fiery determination displayed in the previous event. She’ll have to really rev things up for Wimbledon. Blinkova was all over everything, but that wasn’t much of a challenge when Bianca was hitting so many short replies and, in many cases, not even running for balls.

      Probably a bit of both. She just came off a nine month lay off and it’s only her third tournament back. Ups and downs happen at this point. She just needs to play more.

    Unfortunately for Bianca, the other players are laying in wait for the slice "stuff" to start. She has to get back to making REAL strokes if she is to get back to where she was 3 years ago.

    Andreescu viene de casi un año recuperandose de una lesion y resulta que en el torneo anterior que jugo salio lesionada. Asi que no es de extrañar que en este haya salido en la primera ronda.

    Why is Bianca slicing so many balls like Monica Niculescu? 😮 She looked sapped here, no energy at all. She was so determined last week, especially against Osaka.

    If Bianca is still having a physical problem, maybe with her back, I can understand her lack of execution today, though I would rather she not play if that is the case. On the other side of the coin, if she was sans any physical problem, I am concerned about her. I would rather she skip Wimbledon unless she is okay in all ways to compete.
