James, maybe you should put a bet on Bondarenko.  If she wins you make the profit and if she loses then we have a Brit in the 3rd round of a GS.  and you don't lose anything else seeing as you've already made the deposit. wink




£10.00 on Bondarenko.  Hopefully I'll lose every penny! biggrin


Can't say I'll be overly disappointed to see the money go - never really understood the thrill of betting, especially when all evidence points to an inevitable overall financial loss.

Excellent first set by Bally but a bit of a meltdown at the start of set 2. Missing first serves, hitting long, lacking the intensity of set 1.

At 0-3 Elena fought back from 15-40 to win the game then took advantage of 2 DFs by Bondarenko to break. Great cross court pass to win the game.

Elena serving at 2-3.

Survived 3 break points to level at 3-3.

Bondarenko 0-15, 0-30, 0-40, game Bally

Wow, what a recovery from Bally to win 4 games in a row. Bondarenko making lots of errors again.
