Lucie is ruthless now. Going for an early break in the 2nd

And there it is.

And she gets it 2-1

Ouch, Ana started out well and fell apart. She better hope for some close out nerves from Lucie

 

[tossip]

adje has lost the plot...she is kinda giving up

 

[tossip]

Lucie is on fire...

 

[kskate2]

love hold 3-1

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

We will see, but Lucie has to close it out. She has been known to choke as much as Ana.

True. Hopefully she gets the e-surance break here

 

[tossip]

Ana looks spend...

 

[Moose]

Good hold for Ana. Let's see if she can make this a match.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I know one thing neither woman can afford the slow start or nerves that are in play should Serena make the final.

 

[kskate2]

They'll worry about that later. They have to get through this one first

 

[kskate2]

huge hold 4-2

 

[Moose]

I know one thing neither woman can afford the slow start or nerves that are in play should Serena make the final.

Serena would be a huge favorite over either one regardless. But Serena has also been known for some slow starts. We've seen that this fortnight.

 

[Moose]

Lucie needs to rein in the nerves for two more service games. Sure hope she can do that.

 

[kskate2]

Ana stays in touch 4-3

 

[tossip]

adje is tired from the beatdown...

That she has, but I trust her to rein it in over those two.

 

[kskate2]

5-3. Lucie should push for the break right here and end it. Don't allow herself to get tight having to serve for it.
