The Open Nottingham - Nottingham

A WTA 250 on grass in Nottingham, early in the grass swing before Berlin and Eastbourne. The grass is low and quick, so the first strike does the work and return looks are scarce. Serve holds dominate, points stay short and sets drift toward tiebreaks, which leaves a seed fragile and the totals leaning under. Flat hitters and big servers belong here. Best of three.
