Mel holds comfortably. Can Yuan falter again?

Mel 3-5*

This is one of the first times I have seen a second serve win % higher than first.

Here's hoping for a second choke from yuan!

2 double faults in a row!!!

Yuan throws in 2 doubles but wins the other 4 points

GSM Yuan 6-2 6-3

But alas, 6-2 6-3 it is.

Weaker serving did for Mel. Shame, I think if she' broken in that she might have had her.

She loses 2 and 3.

Looks like she just couldn't win any points on serve, and when that's the case, it's going to be very difficult to win the match - if only she was closer to Yuan she would have choked even more, and this match would still be going on.

Not an unexpected defeat, but a chance missed

Predictable yet disappointing. Mel has got the weapons but the accuracy is not at the level it needs to be.
