I knew you'd notice that! 10 points in a row before Razzano gets one. Anne's numbers look ok but surprised she hasn't done more damage against VR's 2nd serve.

AK serving for the set *5-4

15-0 30-0 x30-15 holds 6-4

Strong finish to that set from Anne

2nd set

VR serving

15-0 x15-15 30-15 40-30 40-40 A- 40-40 A- holds

AK serving *0-1

15-0 x15-15 x15-30 x30-30 30-40 xbroken

Not a clever start to the set from Anne. 2/6 first serves in play. Early in the match she had been very successful on 2nd but as the match has progressed she's struggling to win points

VR serving *2-0

0-15 15-15 30-15 40-30 xholds

AK serving *0-3

Off getting some food 40-30 40-40 40-A 40-40 40-A

Anne saves a bp but is broken again

VR serving *4-0

Time for triple chocolate ice cream. Which quite frankly I need right now. Terrible set from Anne so far.

AK serving *0-5

40-30 40-40 40-A broken

Didn't see that coming!

3rd set:

I'm going to be enjoying my ice cream if not the tennis. Come on Anne! Time to get your act together.

Just spilled some on my trousers. That wasn't clever!

Bit of a delay. If I was Anne I might be tempted to pull a Mary Pierce stunt at this point. Toilet break. Injury timeout. Ice cream break. Spill some on my outfit. Need to change outfits.

VR serving

0-15 15-15 30-15 40-15 holds

AK serving *0-1

15-0 15-15 x30-15 x40-15 x40-30 holds

Progress at last.

VR serving *1-1

x0-15 df 0-30 15-30 30-30 30-40 breaks

Anne ahead.

AK serving *2-1

I'm going to brush my teeth after that ice cream.

40-15 holds

VR serving *1-3

40-0 holds

AK serving *3-2

AK serving *3-2

30-0 30-15 30-30 30-40 40-40 40-A 40-40 40-A broken

Anne saves bp after losing 3 points in a row. Then another before conceding her serve. Getting the first serves in but no penetration in this set.

VR serving *3-3

0-15 0-30 breaks

Anne breaks back! Scoreboard jumped and I'm a bit tired to do the maths but probably to love. Anne needs to close this match out now. Find some big serves.

AK serving *4-3

0-30 0-40 broken

Hopeless! Absolutely hopeless. Seemed to get her first serves in (or most of them) but since the opening set it's not hurting Razzano at all.

VR serving *4-4

0-15 15-15 30-15 x30-30 30-40 breaks

Anne gets a bp. Scoreboard trouble but Anne has broken. She only needs to hold to win. Emphasis on the word "only"

AK *5-4

No pressure

AK serving *5-4

15-0 15-15 15-30 x broken

How exactly can you be competitive in a set if you are only winning 35% on first serve?

VR serving *5-5

0-15 15-15 15-30 x30-30 30-40 40-40 A- holds

Another bp for Anne but it is saved.

AK serving *5-6

Anne has a point for the 6th service break in a row, but Razzano holds on and now Anne will have to hold to get into a tiebreak : *5-6

Her coach must be having kittens!

AK serving *5-6

x0-15 15-30 15-40 30-40 40-40 40-A df 40-40 A- 40-40 40-A broken

Anne saved two match points. Then another after a double fault. Before finally Razzano got the win.

Not the sort of match you want to stay up for.

0-15 no, don't let it go now ... 0-30 it really wouldn't be good to throw this one away after the one last week as well ... 15-30 where there's life, there's hope ... but only very faint hope 15-40 2 mps ... one saved 30-40 ... this is so tense, even from thousands of km away 40-40 ... oh no! df another mp for Razzano ... saved again ... ad Anne come on! ... deuce again, not out of the woods yet ... noooo a 4th MP for Razzano ... aaaargh

Razzano wins 4-6 6-0 7-5 ... horrible

Anyone know the number of a good sports psychologist? We are prepared to pay top dollar for the right person; performance related pay of course.
