Coco provided a tough match for Caro, Caro made very little leadway with Coco's first serve, only managing a handful of points off of that massive weapon, but lucky for Caro, Coco only had a 50% first serve conversion. Caro scored 5 aces of her own too.

It took a second set tie breaker in this roller coaster of a match but Caro converted her first match point and won it in straights 6-3 7-6


Here come Ana and Ursula

Saw some of the first set. Coco was in the zone on serve. It's her other weapons that need consistency. Good match for Caro to weather the storm of a big hitter.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

You are up early Hoergren.

I am waiting to see Caroline play too, this other Karolina is in there playing young Donna and they are having a good fight out there. I will be happy if either one wins.

How about that Kimiko?

She can do it with her eyes closed.

Pliskova won and now - finally - we are ready for Caroline

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

We sure are, I am at a disadvantage though, it's close to 1 in the morning here and you are 6 hours ahead, you got me this time.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Caro brakes early at her first chance, misses the first break point with a bad call but converts the second, long points in this match compared to the short points of the previous match.

Caroline consolidates for a 3-0 lead.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I have never seen someone hit so many balls into the net, this is not the same Christina from a couple of months ago in Paris(playing against Simo).
Christina tries to shorten the points but it backfires, she hits lots of balls into the middle of the net.
Ahead 5-1, Caro serves for the set but is finally broken. Mlad serves and holds to stay in the set trailing 3-5, Caro serves for the set again and this time gets pushed to deuce before she takes the set.

First set goes to Caroline 6-3

 

[Hoergren]

Caro won first set but got a little wobbly in the end, Saw some good netpoints in the beginning with well placed FH. Let's see what second set brings

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Early breaks in the second set follows by 2 more breaks by Caro, last one coming at love, she will serve for the match, leading 5-2
And here we go again, Caro gets sloppy and is broken at love, tough hold by Kristina and we are at 4-5, Caro will serve for the match again.

Yeah it seems that she is losing a bit of concentration and then she pulls herself together in the end. But promising play I think - and she got her 400th win - well done Caro:clap Even if it's early in the morning I'll have a beer the celebrate her result.

[Rose]

Go Caro

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I agree, Go Caro.........

But I shall be honest, anything less than a semi appearance here would be a step down for Caro.

The two young Americans are going at it, Kick versus Boserup
What's up with all the youngsters? They are playing here, they are playing in Charleston....
Go Youngsters too!
