tony_orient · ATP qualifying

I wasn't able to watch the match as I'm at work, but from the live scores it looked very similar to the the last time Laura player Medina Garrigues in that AMG won all of the close games, leading to quite a one sided overall score.

Jan · Hall of fame

Some great play from Laura at times, but AMG's experience on clay showed.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

At one point she seemed to have the upper hand; if she had just managed to break in that really long game in the first set which she followed by a love hold things might have been different.
