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.

Hsieh/Strycova come back in the t/break 6 all.A few UFE crept into Barty/Bertens game and Hsieh/Strycova win the 2nd set 76(7).
A final first to 10 t/breaker will decide the ladies doubles final.
Barty to serve first

Good comeback from Barty/Bertens,Hsieh/Strycova lead 7-6
Ash with great hands at the net 7all

Madison Keys takes the 2nd set 64....a tight battle between these two players,going three in the final

Tight battle in the 3rd set 5 games all with Keys serving,though Pliskova has a BP
