Bianca to serve first

Bianca with help from the net cord gets a mini break with FH leads 4-2

Bianca's FH is just world class 5-3..........jeez over hit drive volley and it did not make the court

Bianca 5-4.............another ripping FH winner brings up MP for Bianca

Bianca to serve 6-5 as previous FH netted

Bianca defeats Sofia 64 76(5) and makes the final of her home tournament

Congrats also to Kenin who did not go away in this match and has had a great tournament

Great match to the end, quite a battle.

Very proud of Bianca. Bravo girl!

Simona chickened out she knows she was getting a beating from Rena.
Bianca must be a Roma she does look like Olaru and nothing like Simona..

She is not Roma.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Very proud of Bianca. Bravo girl!

When you consider she has hardly played any tournaments in 5 months due to shoulder injury this is just a wonderful result for Bianca,I just hope she can remain injury free for the rest of the year,she is on incredible talented player.

I also hope she is past this injury and will make everything to avoid them.
I was really worried the last few months while she was absent.

Bianca said on court after her win,her shoulder is good,though she has had her leg taped,though I feel that is due to a lack of match play,she has been on court for 3 sets all week,when your not use to match play,legs are usually the first to feel it.

Young Czech player Marie Bouzkova gets the opening break with a FH winner and then consolidates her break with a love service game against Serena,first time I have seen her play

Impressive shot making from Bouzkova,not afraid to go for her shots,not overcome by the occasion at all leads Serena 3-1

Same here first time watching, a qualifier

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wow what a start from Bouzkova breaks Serena again this time to love leads 4-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Same here first time watching, a qualifier

Wow she has some game

 

[herios]

Never seen the Czech player before. I guess nobody has.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I love her balance and she was tested in that game from Serena and came through leads 5-1

 

[tented]

She takes the first set 6-1.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell Serena 2 DFs so far in your service game

Marie with SP and wins the 1st set 61.............like a Steam Train and has not let Serena into the 1st set

 

[AnonymousFan]

6-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena's serve has been way off so far in this match,ground shots too short.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bouzkova was the 2014 USO Junior Winner

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Best service game from Serena so far in this match,a hold to love

2 all,2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Goodness me Marie has some legs,tries to run down everything

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena with BPs and a good ROS breaks Marie,whose first serve went AWOL in her service match leads 4-3

Serena has really picked up her first serve in the 2nd set

Serena consolidates the break leads 5-3

Marie making too many UFE,needs to tidy that area up
