Bianca Andreescu 6-4 6-4 Caroline Wozniacki – Dane digs deep but Bianca battles through to the second week!

iainfordyce

Something you cannot fault with Caroline Wozniacki is the fight. The Dane always leaves it all out there but today her all wasn’t enough. I actually felt like it was Wozniacki who was the better player in the opening exchanges. Caro did play a pretty bad opening service game but re-grouped immediately and we attacking soo well from deep. At 4-4 things did change, the Dane lost 5 games in a row and found herself 4-6 0-3 (double break) down. At the end of the first set she did receive a medical time-out for her right foot which was heavily … Continue reading Bianca Andreescu 6-4 6-4 Caroline Wozniacki – Dane digs deep but Bianca battles through to the second week!

Roland Garros is only a couple of days old and we sadly are without Petra Kvitova who withdrew last minute with injury issues and Caroline Wozniacki left following her first round defeat and is still fighting injury and illness on court. Petra announced on social media that on Sunday night she had an MRI on her forearm which has caused her some discomfort and pain of late and has a grade two tear.

Caroline Wozniacki; Forehand variety, leaning, aggression & time!

iainfordyce

Caroline Wozniacki has never been a big clay court player but in her runners up speech in Charleston she said she’s been looking at ways of improving and also with Francesca Schiavone in her camp for the week it showed her intent to do better on the dirt. One of the aspects of her game which was noticeable and caused issues for her opponents was the forehand and the variety of shots she got from it. Image Credit – WTA / BT Sport I have pulled together quite a few forehands from Caro in her match against Sakkari who you … Continue reading Caroline Wozniacki; Forehand variety, leaning, aggression & time!
