What a crazy match this is - 12 breaks in 17 games is odd even by WTA standards. Kostova took the 2nd 6-2 and is now the marginal favourite to win with the bookies.

I managed to sneak a bet at 15-40 down (7/4)

SMC1809 · All-time great

Extraordinary set with 3 consecutive holds! 2-1*

SMC1809 · All-time great

Two more holds and its 3-2*

steven · Tennis legend

Yet another hold, but normal service has now been resumed - Kostova broke but Mel broke stright back. *4-4

steven · Tennis legend

Kostova now has bp for (at least) the second time in this game ... and will serve for the match

steven · Tennis legend

A real pity, because Mel was ahead in that 9th game of the 3rd ... but now Kostova is *5-4 30-0 up, just 2 points away.

30-15
30-30 ...

A bet I would've preferred to lose though. I only took it because the odds were so good.

40-30 MP

... and now it's disappeared, so Mel must have lost 6-4 in the 3rd

Hard luck, Mel cry Yes, seemed a rather crazy match. 7 / 4 against Kostova at * 0 - 1 15 - 40 in the final set, considering the players and the fluctuating match does even retrospectively look rather good odds, so we'll let you off taking them smile

One of the qualities of a good punter is that they are not influenced by a bias to the team/player they support ( Mel in this case ) so SMC has certainly ticked that box. Much better from Mel this week, we will now expect this level of performance week in week out from this moment on.

*Cough, cough*

That would be a bit of a novelty.

From Mel or SMC? ;)

philwrig · Hall of fame

Both obviously ;)

Feuerstein just saw off Sirotkina, so Katie is the latest player whose upset loss doesn't look too bad. Either that or it's simply evidence that results are very random!
