This wasn’t a great tournament for Sloane.
There were high expectations on the world 15 that was seeded no.2 in Washington, but unfortunately Sloane crashed out in straight sets to a much lower ranked player.
The match was a 1 hour and 29 minutes of not great tennis with Sloane committing 4 double faults and Olga Puchkova 7. Eventually the American lost 6 service games (out of 10). No good. Match stats
Sloane:I didn’t play well
“I just didn’t play that well, wasn’t feeling the ball great. I would say that I’m a pretty consistent player — I don’t really hit balls all over the place, that’s not really how I play — but today there were some that I really couldn’t believe it went that far out.” said Slone.
