In other words, LXR's early exit helps to create a situation where it's left to WYH and WSX in opposite halves of the draw to see who deserves one of the two CHN WS ticket to Rio. Of course, there's also next week's AUS Open. Hopefully, that would make LYB's task easier as far as CHN WS Olympic selection is concerned.
Btw,the way LXR played and lost to Tai TY today is strange and telling , so many uncharacteristic errors, time and again she obviously saw the shots coming, esp at the net but chose to let it go as if caught by surprise or stranded - it is so unlike her.
In other words, they have played 14 times since 2011 including this match, and are obviously quite familiar with each other's game, deceptiveness not an issue; the overall H2H is 11-3, still largely in favour of LXR. I mean, TTY has always played like that, nothing new, for her to dominate LXR is out of the question.
