The momentum has definitely changed in this match, but Laura has done well to get the first set after saving lots of break points.

Vinci still favourite to win though as she is on top at the moment (not in the score but in terms of play). Laura might need another run of games like the first 4.

Laura was on the OOP to start not before 20.30" (19.30 UK) but the prior match scheduled to start 18.30 (17.30 UK) in Palermo has only just got underway at 19.45 (18.45 UK). So they're running about an hour late.

So, Laura about 8/8.30pm our time?

As CSN is making light work of Tatashvili maybe around 8 to 8.15 Sally.

Laura starts amazingly winning 8 of the first 9 points, most of them winners.

wolf · Tennis legend

Only one winner in that game but she holds to 15, the point against being a df.

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

Very early days but Laura has certainly started amazingly well

Jan · Hall of fame

I don't think I've ever seen such a revolting colour for a tennis court!!!

Come on Laura!!

wolf · Tennis legend

0 winners that game, but Vinci just can't cope with the power and has only won 3 points thus far.

*4-0

daisy · County player

Vinci has just broken back and serving at *1-4.

The court is a disgusting dirty mustard colour. How can they concentrate on that?

wolf · Tennis legend

Laura holds with a stone dead net cord winner for 5-2*.

I hope i'm wrong but I can't see anyway in which robson will win this match. Every time there is a rally Vinci will win the point. Robson has a lot of power but poor movement, and she still seems to make very poor shot selections.
