Brits keep getting these weird WCs in California. Jamie Baker got one at Indian Wells.
Anyway, congrats to her and Anne. Poutchek is definitely beatable, although she has a 2-0 head to head over Anne - 64 62 in Gold Coast, and 62 67(5) 63 in Kolkata, both in 2006.
Just saw that Larcher De Brito hammered Domachowska by 0 and 1.
Its a shame from Bally, if she wants to keep moving up this was a match she should have won but for no reason really shes always done poor in the states.
Hoping Anne can beat Poutchek, she really should be looking at qualifying here.
Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive.... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
Well done to both girls. Cracker of a win from Georgie. She must be feeling confident about her next match and Anne should be aiming to beat Poutchek finally and then qualify.
If you thought Savchuk's serving was bad (17dfs) then you want to see Puchkova's stats (9 dfs in 4 service games). Georgie must be putting a hex on her opponents.
Georgie goes up 4-2 but I'm not really impressed considering she's won only 6 second serve points on her own account. With 16 Dfs, Puchkova should be winning next to no points on her second serve.. But shes won 11.
