Well, she is off to Rome for her next session of R1 domination.... domination in R2 may be too ambitious - even for her :-)

Say what you want about Maria but she's definitely bringing views, ratings, and attention back to the WTA and she's forcing everyone to raise their level as well.

The stadium looked pretty empty.

Still can't wrap my mind around Eugenie's win over Maria, as Maria played very well. Why then has she been losing so badly just so recently?

Here's hoping Maria faces Woz in the 1st rd in Rome.

No.. I want a rematch with Alex Panova, the ITF girl who almost knocked her out of an Aussie Open R1. lol

Sharapova is too arrogant. Maybe a few humiliating losses will humble her.

Curious to see her play Vee, Pliskova and Kerber too.

Vee is not here.
Pliskova is out.
You seem stuck with how she will play in the future, while I am talking about THIS match.

There were lots of "things" going on here. The trash talk, the Pova team arrogance and intimidation, the WTA gag rules, etc... This match is not like any match in the past. And I don't think the same conditions will be set for her next matches.

Bouchard's defense was outstanding.

I meant in Rome. Also, I dislike these one-off performances.
