Fifth seed Giorgi had only previously won one honour on the Tour – the 2015 Rosmalen Grass Court Championships – but she was comfortable on Sunday as Alexandrova, a surprise package this week, was outclassed 6-3 6-1. Having been matched well in the early stages, Giorgi ruthlessly took her first break point opportunity to nudge in front at 5-3. And the Italian quickly accelerated out of sight, serving out the set and swiftly taking control of the second, her power proving too much for Alexandrova as she broke again immediately....

It should be said that players shouldn’t worry about Nightmare mode until hitting 100 Ki. It isn’t unlocked until the player’s gear level is high and even if it was it would be nearly impossible. Next, players should understand that this mode will take a lot of patience. In Ghost of Tsushima’s main story, Jin is able to rush headlong into most battles and still come out on top, but Nightmare mode will push players to their limits with powerful new enemies and difficult situations....

That said, there is no narrative significance for any of them, and they are suddenly and inexplicably added to the player’s inventory once selected.
