There are other good wind players, I'm merely telling you who is the best.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tough hold Flavia

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Flavia you have 2 BP's

 

[Moxie]

Back on serve. It'll be interesting to see if veteran sturdiness wins or youthful talent and guts, at this point.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Flavia a good service please

 

[Front242]

Weird. That didn't look out at all on my stream.

I know K is gone, but I wonder if anyone has a feel for women who've played much in the wind? We have seen some of the top guys in it more than once. (Including here and USO, which seem to be two of the most regularly windy tournaments.)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Whoever makes the better adjustments with this wind I feel will win this match

Just about all of them played in that famous US Open.
I would pick Vika at her peak!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

4 games all

Come on Flavia time to make your move to break

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

4-4 in the decider, the wind should favor the hard hitter.
Who is hitting harder?

 

[Front242]

This match is all over the place!

3 break points!

 

[Front242]

Won't even go there by suggesting if Pennetta breaks the match is hers as she may well drop serve.

 

[Moxie]

Sloane blinks.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Flavia breaks to love
Okay Flavia this time a good service game please to win the match

 

[Front242]

Well, she's broken but who knows how this will unfold next.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

This match is all over the place!

Flavia gets to serve for it.
Done, me thinks!

 

[Moxie]

Won't even go there by suggesting if Pennetta breaks the match is hers as she may well drop serve.

There's no telling in a match like this, under these conditions, but she's doing what the best do in the wind: being careful with her footwork, and not pressing too hard with her shots.

Flavia with 3 MP
