Barty 'disappointed' after shock exit to Sorribes Tormo at Olympic Games: "I never really felt comfortable out there"

Top seed Ashleigh Barty was dumped out of the Olympic Games in the first round as her gold medal hopes at least in the singles were expunged.
It was a 6-4, 6-3 win for the Spaniard and the recent Wimbledon champion admitted she could never quite get comfortable.
"I’m disappointed I wasn’t able to get through today, it just wasn’t my day," she said. "Credit to Sara though, she is always a tough competitor.
"I never really felt comfortable out there and wasn’t able to play the match on my terms," she added. "The key to my game is serving well and I wasn’t able to do that today. I was a bit erratic and made too many errors."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
