3*-1 much better game. Some first serves went in...

Ahh, I see the Barte-Potgiete scoreboard now.

I guess they were streaming that match and someone added the external scoreboard to the camera view. The camera view remains but they forgot to take out the scoreboard! (thereby increasing the bitrate and ensuring that it doesn't run smoothly on my connection).

Come on, Anne, break her back. 0-30 on Bartoli's serve.

Close, but not quite. Bartoli hits it hard, and Anne's not quite got the pace of it yet.

4-1*

Tutu · Club Coach

1-4.

She needs to stop making double faults because they are simply not helping. Bartoli is going for EVERYTHING so I think she needs to move the ball a bit more. Cmon Anne!

steven · Tennis legend

Great, two doubles in a row brings it up to more than one df per game so far ...

steven · Tennis legend

The problem seems to be that when she does get her serve in, she keeps playing too short in the rallies, and Bartoli just steps in, opens her shoulders and says 'merci beaucoup'.

steven · Tennis legend

Nice break point save there though

Will this game ever end.

That turned into an encouraging hold in the end, some good play from Anne for the last couple of points.

Tutu · Club Coach

2-4. Really tough hold. A couple of nice forehands and suprisingly backhands as well. Hopefully this will boost her morale. Shes deffo gotten into the match, though.

Tutu · Club Coach

2-5. Hope she can hold here.

My livestream is really annoying me.

Tutu · Club Coach

Good hold. 3-5

Salmon · Tennis legend

BP.

Anne has now won more points than Bartoli since the point where she'd won only 3 of the first 15.
