Well got there in the end. As was mentioned before, don't you just love these little blue boxes on the US Open site, no don't change that way !! Anyway Laura's serve held up well DF wise after 2 early DFs in the second set, well until she gave up a set point to Crawford with her 3rd, which was not great timing ! But nice from 5 - 6 * to 8 - 6 in the tiebreak. Lovely blue boxes smile

Clijsters next then for Laura. Obviously a very different match and one I would certainly think that she'll have to play a lot better in to be competitive. However, maybe Laura found strong favouritism against a younger player rather difficult to handle and will ( as she has in the past ) react well to a challenge like Clijsters.

Men's match 2-0 in forth set, hopefully Laura will be up soon.

5-0 so Laura should be up soon if Ramos keeps going.

Laura up next.

tony_orient · ATP qualifying

At one point it was looking like a very late start for Laura, so in the end half past midnight isn't too bad.

Anyway, come on Laura!
