i'm just thinking, aren't we overplaying the 'lay the 1st set winner' approach a bit?it looks like fairly consistent WTA strategy and it's quite worrying (excluding players like Shazza etc, of course)
why is it worrying?

the success rate is too high
it's too high when the match is competitive
take Kuala Lumpur for example - there was no competition at all there
it's not just blind rule ffs

Seemingly none of the rest of the pack can actually hammer home a lead though. Probably is why they are ranked where they are, no mental strength, no consistency etc.
which is why i always find it odd the level of seething when some mug drops his standard of play and get called a fixer 
there's obviously a reason the are ranked so low despite being capable of whatever

unless it's Azza, Shazza, Serena.. a wta player that gets 1 set ahead is a prime candidate for choking the 2nd (except when the opponent is an absolute nobody)
yep, another rule for them - back them if they lost 1st set
easy peasy
