Laura was 6-3 *4-1 up, but has contrived to lose 4 games in a row, and now serves to stay in the second set, 6-3 *4-5

It's odd, Laura is getting 80% of her 1st serves in this set but only winning 37.5% on 1st serve and 50% on 2nd. In the whole match she has served 3 aces and 2 DFs. So there is no obvious reason why she suddenly can't win a point unless it is something to do with mobility.

Well maybe we'll find out if she's injured or something. Her mobility's never been her greatest asset, but it's consistent, so doesn't tell me why she won the first set easily and then lost the second from 4-1 up.
My comment referred more to what's in between her ears.

Finally Laura regains the lead, now can she hold on this time or will Riko hit another purple patch? *4-3

It looked for a while as if Laura was about to be broken again but just managed to hold on 5-3*

Ugh. When I checked the score before leaving for work Laura was *4-0 in the first and looking unstoppable. I see she served two aces in the fifth game, but was broken anyway.

All looks very different now ............
