Madison is a 'Party Pooper'.....though remember the winner of this tournament has been a 'hex' for players winning at the AO

Okay coming from Serena's match at Auckland where she was in Beast Mode watching Petra v Madison
Petra won the 1st set 63 and Madison has a BP early in the 2nd set.Madison breaks back on serve in the 2nd set 2 all.
Madison has found her game,while Petra's level from the 1st set has gone down,Madison leads 5-2 2nd set.
We are going three sets,Petra has gone into error mode,Madison more controlled and won 6-2.
Madison gets the early break,Madison has 90% first serve and nearly 90% conversion rate she leads 3-1 3rd set
Out of nowhere Petra finally manages to have more control and gets the break back in the 3rd set
2 Great fhands from Madison and she breaks again leads 4-2 3rd set.
Petra with a Great fhand of her own breaks Madison and we are back on serve in the 3rd set,Petra to serve at 3-4
I feel whoever can hold their serve at this stage of the match will win
We have had 5 breaks of serve in this 3rd set,Madison with a cross court fhand winner breaks and will serve for the match 5-3 with new balls.
Madison Keys d Petra Kvitova 36 62 63 and is the first finalist in Brisbane.
