1 - 4 *

But this set so far they've each broken to 15 once and the other 3 games have gone to deuce.

Just again, Vika ( and other top players ) generally finds a way to win these games.

Wins serve to 30, 2 - 5 *

... and for the first time in 6 sets against Vika, Hev has won 2 games in a set

One break after 9 games in a row from Azarenka and a later hold by Heather.
In an hour and twenty minutes.

That appears to have a pretty decent effort by Heather, particularly in the second set where Vika won all 4 games that went to at least one deuce and they shared the other 4, two apiece.

Vika wins 6 - 0 ( 31 - 15 ) 6 - 2 ( 32 - 23 ) Overall points 63 - 38

Same overall points difference as in the Aussie Open, when again a lot of the games were actually pretty competitive scorewise.

Score in Aussie Open was 6 - 1 6 - 0 ( 56 - 31 )

Thought Hev put in a decent effort in the second set, listening to the Harmanator and the Lawman at 3 in the morning gave me an insight into how the match went. Vika maybe not at her best, but Hev produced the odd blinding rally much to the pleasure of a big fan just in front of 5 lives commentary box. That chap must have applauded every point that Hev won. So better than the Oz open, and shouldn't dent her confidence too much after which has been the best tournament played by a GB girl in 2012.
