If Genie were a veteran player it'd be less concerning, but you talk about rhythm and that's the concern. If she loses again in the first round next week you obviously become concerned it will snowball. The schedule set up admittedly doesn't help, but she should have found a tournament to play. Realistically though outside the majors and the tournament she won, she only has an 11-12 record on the year. The consistency still isn't there yet. Doing well in majors is nice but she should be doing better in the lesser tournaments.
Rogers played well (and as mentioned the crowd sucked) but as we saw when Genie was fully engaged she controlled things. But in the bookend sets she just lost her confidence the second things didn't go her way. Terrible body language tonight.
