FRENCH OPEN DAY 6: Taylor Townsend's Momentum Not Able To Carry Into 4th Round - Loses To Navarro
Friday, May 30, 2014
American Taylor Townsend Out of 2014 French Open in Round 3.
American Taylor Townsend's valiant effort to gain as much depth as possible into the 2014 French Open has come to an end. Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro, the women's 14th seed, proved to be more competition on clay than Townsend could handle.
After the brief twenty-four minute first set, Townsend appeared to gather herself and put forth greater offense than she had in the first set, but even with her adjustments, Townsend was still no match for Navarro who began to steamroll the talented teen into a 6-2, 6-2 defeat.
Townsend used her brief run to bring a great deal of excitement to this year's French Open, especially in light of the Williams sisters being eliminated so early. She can certainly return home knowing that she put her best foot forward and that all of her hard work has been worth the effort.
Great Job Taylor!!

Venus Fails To Figure Out Navarro
Thursday, January 22, 2009
Wow...all of that fresh face and healthy look had me pumped on the possibility of American Venus Williams etching this Australian Open in her win column, not so. As I watched Venus play this morning, I wasn't particularly excited about the difficulty that she was apparently having responding to the fairly impressive play of Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro, but I NEVER thought that she would not pull out the win, especially when she reached match point. Navarro not only saved that match point, she went on to defeat Venus 2-6, 6-3, 7-5.
The 46th ranked 20-year old Navarro did not present a game so daunting that Venus was just blown off the court, Venus just could not get it together. Major bummer.
