Doh!!

Mel's first serve having virtually no impact yet she's winning nearly all her 2nd serve points!

On form and class this should be a very one-sided match. Mel is doing ok.

I know she is. It's just so frustrating when they put in all the effort to break then give up their serves again immediately.

PockyTastic · Futures level

Kleybanova hit 4 aces in a game to go 3-2 up on serve, Mel won the only point that wasn't an ace.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

4-3 to Kleybanova now.

Mel's hanging on in there, but just isn't getting anything on her opponents serve

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

And she's broken - Kleybanova to serve for the match

wolf · Tennis legend

Mel break back for *4-5. Now we've been here once before, Mel.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Would you believe it!!! She breaks back again!

Don't get broken this time!!!

steven · Tennis legend

0-30 2nd serve suggests that she hasn't learnt anything from last time either.

steven · Tennis legend

Broken to love, oh my.
