Kristina Mladenovic single first round defeats continues,she was defeated by Shelby Rogers 64 63.

You are absolutely right. She needs to go back to doubs, fire her family and hire a big time coach and then commit to what he's telling her. I know she had Sascha for a few minutes, but maybe that wasn't the right fit.

CoCo recovered well afterwards getting dismantled in the first set. Her service motion has been altered with a low toss and quicker rotation of the hips. The level of play by both players was sublime in the later two sets. I'm impressed by Samsonova, I NEVER seen her play previously..The athletism of today's wta players is such a high level. I'm going to watch Sloane vs Madison tonight. I hope that I will see a rejuvenated Madison Keys tonight as opposed to the plain ole ball basher of yesteryear.

Coco has been having trouble with her serve for a little while now,especially her 2nd serve,I think her team have been tweaking it,she also has youth on her side to correct it.

Another upset in a tight two set match 75 63 Alize Cornet upsets No 7 Elise Mertens

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Alize Cornet was told about the postponement of RG she is not a happy camper she wants it to stay in its original timeslot....though Alize does tend to whinge and can be over dramatic so I am not surprised
