Meanwhile, AMG is in trouble down a set and 2 breaks 6-3 5-2. Petko drops the opening TB, but is up a break in the 2nd 4-3

Petko levels the match. We're heading to the decider

Regardless of the scoreline....Bouchard needs to work on her serve

Serena down a double break to Cepalova 0-3. Let's see if she makes a Li comeback in this set.

Well, Serena has been here before, but damn she needs to stop these slow starts.

She would get down 0-5, then win 4 games in a row and muff that last game to drop the set 6-4.

Serena drops serve in the 2nd and asks for the trainer.

Serena has a large strapping on her left thigh and is still out there making a flurry of winners and errors. She's down 5-3 in the 2nd set.

Great win for Jana. She was steadfast and flew around the court. Rest up Serena and get ready for Madrid.

I hope she is ok because she has quite a bit of points and the French to defend. I hope it is just fatigue.

Maybe a case over 'over playing' I feel with Serena.

Probably. During the changeovers, she didn't look that perturbed about it. She was biting her nails and what not. I think she didn't want to withdraw as the #1 seed so she wanted to give it a go.
