Again? Seems to be her default move these days.

-7 ( +5 / -12 )

Not surprised by the exit. To the contrary surprised she made it to the third round in an actual Grand Slam tournament.

-6 ( +4 / -10 )

Absolutely nothing about this on four TV news bulletins in Kansai this evening. Near zero interest in Naomi in Japan anymore.

-7 ( +4 / -11 )

And…..there it is.

-8 ( +5 / -13 )

Oh dear what a pity never mind

-5 ( +2 / -7 )

Déjà vu

0 ( +1 / -1 )

Those of you who want to remember : I had predicted her redraw in the 3rd match if her earlier redraw a week ago was due to an abdominal injury.

it takes a month to cure and serving and stretching backhands will aggrevate the injury if one does not rest.

but the real point is that these injuries occur, as I also said last week, because she does not put in the necessary training work.

this is the inevitable result of that.

She has to take care of her "mental health"
