In a surprising turn of events, Isadora Quagmire is amongst the names of players eliminated in the first round today, with the tennis star playing a disappointing match against newcomer Carmelita Spats.
After winning the coin toss, things looked bright for Quagmire- who is known for her bullseye precision and lethal backhand. However, after dropping the first set to Spats- who is new to the scene at only seventeen years old- the rest of the game was a painful watch, with Quagmire suffering double faults twice in a row and then struggling to make back the points lost. The usually top form player seemed to struggle, making crucial mistakes and letting Spats run her all over the court.
