I just cannot fathom why they keep trying the drop shot. Oy. I mean. Clearly they've had enough success with them that they are a feature of their games. But just not working today. So drop it. Drop the drop shot from your game.

Martic gets there though. 5-all. Hell of a match.

I'm gonna rip my hair out. WHY would you at that point throw in a drop shot. NO reason for it there. She was winning the point. And just ruined it.

It’s moments like that when I wish we could see a side-angle shot of the court. The standard view just doesn’t give the right perspective of the length of a court.

Vondu is one of only three players (including men and women), not to lose a set.

Novak is other one.

Don't remember the third one.
