Tiebreak (Meng serving first)

Scores done: Keothavong - Meng

0-1

0-2

1-2

1-3

1-4: Looks like the 1st set has slipped away from Anne, can't see her holding 2 service points here

1-5

1-6: both service points lost and Meng has 5 set points. This has really been a dire breaker from Anne.

2-6: still 4 more to go though

3-6: hmm, if she wins this point, Meng might start getting a little tight

4-6

5-6

Nooooo, Meng gets it on her final set point and takes the breaker 7-5. How gutting is that !

Oh Anne

Well you can't afford to do that, I'm afraid - you can't be a break ahead 3 times in the set, have points for a double break, and fail to close it out. And it's cost her very dearly now

I agree totally, she really should have won that set, so many chances !   Could have won the tiebreak too but a dreadful start cost her.

She can still win this but she's going to have to really fight, getting that 1st set after being behind so much will have given Meng a massive psychological boost

 

damn this scoreboard, frozen again !

The games are all so close, but so often tipping the wrong way

Meng breaks to 15 and Anne's now 6-7, 1-2 down

This is a long match, too - it's taken 2 hours to get to this stage...
