Week 34 - WTA ($220K) - Texas, USA Hard

R1: [LL] WEBLEY-SMITH, Emily (GBR) 398 Vs. [Q] LUCIC, Mirjana (CRO) 97

EWS at least takes Lucic to deuce in the first game - hopefully a sign of things to come. It's streamed, in high quality, if anyone else is around at 04:30 wink 

*0-1

*0-3

1-3*

1-5*

1-6

There's good movement from Emily, and no lack of application or effort - she is making Lucic work in most every point - but Lucic is just far too good for her at this point in time.

Set 2

1-0*  

I think we'll draw a veil over that one there, and hope to be pleasantly surprised in the morning - Good luck Em.

 

NB: Bouchard won 6-4 6-3 and that flattered Voskoboeva, who didn't play badly, but Eugenie still thrashed her, and she herself wasn't even playing 'great' - the sort of ruthlessly impressive performance I've been hoping our girls might produce in their respective tournaments this week, and previously.

Heather's doubles is last up, so likely to be in the region of 03:00 Tuesday morning (I'll probably be up!)

 I've got too ask - when do you sleep?

 Only about 90-120 minutes a day, so it's pretty easy to fit in!

 

For those without a betting account, Anne's match is streamed (low quality) here: http://www.stopstream.tv/43/90/439030.html

No longer do I have the strangest sleeping habits on the board, it seems wink

That doesn't sound like fun though ...

Anne loses the 1st set 6-1 - she was 40-0 up in the last game of the set on her own serve too before getting broken for the 3rd time

Anne getting 38% 1st serves in, winning just 30% when she gets her 1st serve in and 44% on 2nd serve, Erakovic won 28 points to 12 in that set.

Things can only get ...

Great too see Anne fighting her way to the 2nd set after that disastrous 1st set.

More good news - Jackk321 on Twitter just noticed that Emily is in as a LL for top seed Kerber and plays former worlkd no. 32 (Q) Mirjana Lucic (CRO) WR 97 n/b 02.30 tonight our time.

 That is good news - Kerber must've been tired after the Cincy battle with Li Na. Hope EWS can do the opportunity justice.

Yes. The UE's are starting to flow from Marina a bit now - consecutive errant FH's gives *30-0 immediately, and another gives Anne the hold, to 15.
2-2*

Some good play from Anne, trying to dictate with her forehand

Describe to me the point with the score at 30-0 because I still can't believe Anne won it! That was a strange, comfortable hold for AK.

Couldn't find her first serve at 30-30 then 40-40 and paid the price.

tie break to decide it then, will be quite tense and probably lots of mini breaks

4 points against serve out of 6 and they change over at 3-3

This match should be brilliant to watch, it has swung back and forth so often ... but actually it just makes you wish it would finish as soon as possible! A wonderful recovery from Anne though, if only she can complete it - MP!
