Patty Schnyder exits early from Miami

Another disappointing result for Patty Schnyder in the super Tier-I tournament Miami, where she lost to little known unseeded Kaia Kanepi of Estonia in the second round in straight sets 1-6, 4-6.

In a windy afternoon, Patty struggled to adjust to the wind, that effected her serve and return game. Patty lost her serve 3 times and unable to capitalize the 2 break point chances she got from her opponent. Kai served well and won all of her service games.

Patty is still struggling to find her form and her usual consistency this season. She played 7 tournaments so far and the best results are from the Dubai and Doha tournaments where she reached the Quarter finals in both the tournaments. Her win-loss record so far is 9-7.

Clay court season starts next, and Patty is scheduled to play the two North american tournaments Amelia Island starts from April 2nd and Charleston starts from April 9th. Patty has a lot of points to defend in the next tournaments, she reached the tier I tournament Charleston final last year. Let’s Hope Patty will have a better clay court season. All the best for your next tournaments Patty!
