Sveta leads 2-1

Petra has the trainer on court in the break....Petra has gone off court to get treatment

MTO has been called.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play has resumed....it appeared to me Petra might have a lower back problem

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta with 2 service breaks in the 2nd set leads 4-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Trainer on court for Petra again....massaging her lower back area in the break.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta is sticking to her game plan and leads 5-1....2nd set

Petra is really struggling and cant generate much pace on her serve or ground strokes....maybe take some pace off her 1st serve?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta with her 2nd SP

Lucky netcord for Sveta

Sveta wins the 2nd set 6-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

1 set all between Sveta and Petra
Going into a 3rd set decider.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Petra has gone off court....I am assuming it is a toilet break

 

[tented]

Come on, Sveta, don't implode now!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Petra has her right thigh strapped....though the trainer when on court was massaging her lower back

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Petra consolidates her break with a good volley at the net.

Petra leads 2-0...3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta will you try to remain level headed and move Petra around the court

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta had a bathroom break

 

[Rose]

I didn't realize Lucie is back to dark hair now! And it would be smart to move Petra around the court however she has a 3-2 lead and was even skipping to go out to serve!

 

[tented]

Back on serve. Let's go, Sveta!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta with 2 BPs

Sveta broke as Petra's bhand went long

Back on serve in the 3rd set

3 games all 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sveta smart thinking with the body serve to Petra

 

[kskate2]

SK breaks and we're on serve in the decider. 3-3

Great hands at the net from Petra....well done
