US Open Day 9: Tuesday, Sept 3 - Order of Play

[kskate2]

Though, I don't think we have seen the Vika ground game at the best at the moment.

That's for sure. She's an UE machine right now. Her timing seems completely off to me.

I see Ana does the Serena Williams and dumps serve after winning the first set.

 

[kskate2]

Truth be told she hasn't held in awhile. She also dumped serve when serving for the set.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Ana breaks back, but can she hold!

 

[kskate2]

Vika returns the break w/ more sloppy serving.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Another break of serve, really ladies get it together.

 

[nehmeth]

I am enjoying seeing Ana on the court. Looks as though she may get the break back in the 2nd set. Hope she wins.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I think she who holds in set 2 will win set 2

 

[golds girl]

Vika needs to calm down and focus; seems like that old emotional Vika coming out right now.

 

[kskate2]

This match is terrible right now. All these points are ending in errors and not winners. Both players going down 0-40 and losing consecutive serve games.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like Cincy match all over again just a different Serb. Come on Ana get it together. You won the first set. No confidence whatsoever in your game.

 

[Calvy]

Ana is gonna give this match back to Vika, you just feel it going to three and Vika is gonna make a run at some point.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Come on Ana, this is ridiculous!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well set number 2 goes to Vika! Better reset for number 3 Ana!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Now she holds serve really Ana?

 

[kskate2]

Not so fast Sunday. Vika still has to hold and they've each only held once in this set.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I trust Vika to have a stronger mental fortitude than Ana.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

If Ana can hold, Vika might just feel some pressure to serve it out.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

And Ana caves, she who held won set 2.

 

[kskate2]

Holding serve in this match has very little to do w/ mental fortitude. It's all about confidence and Ana doesn't have as much in hers although they both look like juniors today compared to Serena's serve.
