What Sahaja couldn’t do against the same opponent in 2 attempts in the US, Maaya did it in the very first turn. Wonderful to see this! Up to #916 in the live rankings
Disappointed with this loss but a decent fight from Sahaja. I watched most of the first set and the second and almost every one of her service games went to deuce. She needs to find a way to keep these games short against such quality top-200 players. Looks like she will have as many as 3 weeks of b...
Only Sahaja’s match is on the order of play for today. They also will have an exhibition doubles match featuring Ankita/Prathana vs Rutuja/Liz Barnett for a charity event. I think Sahaja might eke out the talented Thai Tararudee in 3 sets. I really hope so, since these big points are helpful :goodlu...

Sorry, I stopped posting to focus on watching her match. She’s up 5-0 in the 3rd. Hopefully a quick win from here :-) And she does so. 6-3 3-6 6-0 win :bounce: :dance: Her opponent was no slouch or anything of that sort. She had a big serve but Maaya was just too good with her returns and the Italia...
Maaya takes the first set 6-3. First serve % is still worrying (39%) but she is still winning most of the points (62%) versus her opponent. Let’s go! Maaya is taking a MTO. I only started watching from the last game of the first set. Hopefully she’s just taking advantage of the MTOs and not injured ...
