Clay Season Expectations
TBH I think the rest will do Iga well ahead of the bumper clay season this year, which of course includes the Olympics. Going out in R3 can be a blessing in disguise, last time that happened (AO), Iga went on another streak after, and it’s important to time the next streak well. – Basil-Faw1ty
