Dominika levels it at 2-2 in the third with Makarova. She's done well to hang in this match.

 

[britbox]

Damnit! Makarova breaks and will serve for the match... 5-4

Hope Domi can pull a rabbit out of the hat here.

 

[britbox]

No white rabbits for Dominika. First time Makarova has beaten Dominika.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just got home to see the 3rd set,I suppose there is a first time for everything bad luck Domi

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Konta continues to impress me,as yet has not dropped a set,first meeting with Caroline Woznicaki who she dismissed with ease 63 61....Well done Jo!

The clash of the two Russian ladies hopefully will be a good match,Pavs is one of the strongest strikers of the ball in the WTA,Sveta in the twilight of her career,has been playing consistent tennis and is back in the Top 10,one of the best movers in the WTA,she has a great all court game.I am leaning towards Sveta to win.

Well how wrong was I Pavs defeated Sveta with ease 63 63,Sveta did not bring her tennis legs to this match,no emotion at all,I think the match against JJ the longest match so far at the AO took its toll,Pavs deserved her win,she is a delight to watch when she plays like this.This is Pavs first QF at the AO.she will play the winner of Venus and Mona Bartel.

 

[britbox]

Venus match is starting... would like to see her make it through to play Pavs.

Kerber might have a handful with Coco tonight.

 

[britbox]

Gogo Coco... serving for the match 6-2 5-3. Angie's defence might end here and now.

 

[britbox]

Coco does the business..... 6-2 6-3. Outstanding performance. Another notch in a crazy Melbourne day.
