This game is already ten minutes old and counting.

 

[golds girl]

^ right? Never ending

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Finally Strycova finds a first serve she leads 2-0 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I dony know why Strycova dosent take some pace off her 1st serve for starters.

I think the women side lack exciting matches...imagine those days of the likes of rivalrys like the belgians and the sisters or Dementieva,Zvonareva,Myskina,Capriati and Hingis...now its those bland blonde baseliners..those were days when there was real buzz in women tennis..with the exception of Serena or Azarenka most of these players are boring...

Genie takes 3 games in a row and gets ahead in the second set, score is 3-2

 

[golds girl]

It's just funny how Novak finished his 3 setter in 1 hr 26 mins and we're nearing that time in the 3rd game of the 2nd set here

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Another loooong game, Barbie holds for 3-3 tie.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bouchard gets broken to love?

Strycova 4-3 2nd set

What is the bet she gets broken here?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay I lose the bet...Strycova consolidated her break and leads 5-3

Bouchard too many ufe in this 2nd set,has been her downfall.

 

[golds girl]

I feel like some momentum has shifted...Barbie seems more bouncy and energetic than Genie.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Bouchard holds at 15 to make it 4-5
Barbora will serve for the set, let see if she holds NOW.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That break was on the cards

This is a wacky 2nd set .....5 games all

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

5 straight UE and a winner caps the game, Genie breaks at 30
Genie to serve.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Barbara you were in a great position to hit that fhand volley,still you over played it

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Tie breaker to decide the set.

 

[tented]

Ah! She Djokovic'ed the overhead.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

OMG Genie with that over head smash.Hey?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ah! She Djokovic'ed the overhead.

I think they go to the same over head school.....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Genie way to many ufe in this t/breaker
