However, when the season came to the moment when the game goes on on the earth's courts, everyone expected a significant improvement in the results. After all, it's a favorite surface of Christmas. Meanwhile, the biggest disappointments came on them. During the tournament in Stuttgart, she lost in the quarter -finals with Jelena Ostapenko. In Madrid, in the Coco Gouff semi -final she broke her as much as 6: 1, 6: 1. Recently in Rome it was eliminated in the 3rd round, defeated 1: 6, 5: 7 by Danielle Collins. And yet foro Italico courts are one of her favorites in the whole Tour.
