But she's won the second, by the same score, 6 -4

Bit of a shaky start to the 3rd, and now 30 -40. C'mon Laura

Julia Carrot · All-time great

D'fs, after a bit of a fight, to get broken 1 - 4*

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Wozniak serves her 5th Ace in this set 5 -1*

philwrig · Hall of fame

Serve seemed to dessert her in the final set after a very encouraging fightback in the second, not sure what else to say.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Laura goes down 4 - 6 6 -4 1 -6

Oh well, Wozniak will be very happy to have got the win, and so will Canada.

Laura's best weapon,her serve, just wasn't working for her today.

That's a pity, it would have been so nice to have got 4/4 here today, but I guess even though Wozniak was lower-ranked than Laura, when she has been as high as WR 21, she is always going to be dangerous.

Hopefully Anne can get revenge - she has played Wozniak twice, beating her in 3 sets at Strasbourg in 2006 and then thrashing her 2 & 2 at Memphis in February this year.

Anne has a busy day ahead of her today:

QF: (4) Anne Keothavong & Kathrin Wörle (GER) WR 235 vs (Q) Karolina Pliskova & Kristyna Pliskova (CZE/CZE)

That match is scheduled on the same court as her singles encounter with Wozniak, following a men's doubles QF. hmm I hope that lasts long enough to allow her to get her breath back properly!

Seems that Wozniak found her 'A' game in the third set, but that Laura played some great aggressive tennis to get back in the second.
Found the odd tweet from individuals who were there and they were quite complimentary about Laura's play. Also a classic comment from Laura during the third set reported on a by a local news reporter 'Funniest thing of out Robson's mouth during a poor 3rd set: "Think about your life decisions!" A bit dramatic for a shot selection comment.

I believe Laura's next stop is qualies for next weeks premier event in Torronto where she is likely to get the last QWC.

Wozniak was former top 25 and recovering from injury.
Laura was *4-3 30-0 down in the second, so did well just to extend the match.

Falconi has kindly (for us) demolished Dabrowski in under an hour, making up for the previous 3 setter, and its Annie K time.
