For goodness sakes Ash dropping serve twice now serving for the match at 5-4....now 5all?

Barty eventually defeats Tausen 61 75.....( go practice serving for a match against someone Ash okay)

Still, our friend @Hoergren will be sad for his new protege, Tausen.

The teenager is just a bit too petulant for my liking hopfully she grows out of it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Bianca let this be a 'drama free match' try holding your serve for starters would be a good idea.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rinse and Repeat Bianca holding serve is one way to win a match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

UFE galore from both players in this first set,Davis DF and somehow a miracle happened and Bianca wins the 1st set 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bianca you are lucky I am such a big fan of yours, otherwise I would have turned my TV off long ago
UFE and DF are ruining your game at present,is this just a lack of matches? or is something else wrong with you?
Neither Lauren or Bianca can hold their serve in the 2nd set....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It was a 'ugly match' match but Bianca found a way to win over Davis 64 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Carla Suarez Navarro gets a rousing ovation as she bows out of the doubles.
Carla said she will play for Spain in the BJK Cup if called up....if not she will close the book on her career in tennis
Stay Healthy Carla and enjoy your retirement!!!!

Even with the long matches and rain delays, the tounament is caught up with this ladies' match on now the last to complete the 2nd Rd.!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This has been a tight 3rd set and now a t/break is in place between Pliskova and Anisimova

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a match....No 4 seed Pliskova survives 75 67(5) 76(7) Pliskova was down 2-4 in the deciding t/break.,saving MP

Shout out to Amanda Anisimova probably the best match I have watched from you in sometime....well done and keep this form ongoing.

Glad you're feeling with me but I'm actually ok with this lesson in top tennis. We saw some games with a good way of thinking tennis and a lot of things still to practise. Well 18 and playing the #1 in the way she did - not bad. Tauson is now #69 in the live rankings and about to be able to get into the main draw at any WTA event. She's working a lot with trying to be calm and compared to a year ago - wow. Still think it was quite hard to be Ash in second game first set: Clara quickly trailed 0-40, but it's as if she simply plays best when she's trailing. Clara fought back to straight, and then followed a duel that aroused great enthusiasm among the audience: 9 times straight, 7 times advantage for Ash and 2 times for Clara before she had to give up - when has Ash been playing such a game - eh? Tauson has a great new coach she got when she trained at the Justine Henin Academy - Olivier Jeunehomme - so no father coaching here.
