10 minute break for the extreme heat policy.

 I wondered why, when I nipped off for some breakfast at the end of the second set, they were only in the first game of the third when I came back!

Although I do feel it finally caught up a bit with Laura during the latter half of the final set today, I very much agree with Tony re Laura's fitness levels.  It is clearly much improved and again goes back to what she said at the US Open about being able to do so much more work having had a long sustained period of her body being healthy.

It's still the case that she had a totally interrupted close season last year so if she can really put in further sustained work this close season with such as Jez Green she will surely improve markedly more again in that department.

To be fair, both the obvious wrong calls were on the far side from his chair. More the line judge's fault.

True. Players rarely that sanguine in the heat of the moment

3-1, getting nervous. Think Robbos holding her nerve though. I think beating Kim would have been more nerve racking than this.

Bah. Back on serve.

Hmm, she's been broken back Was that Hseish upping her game or Laura losing it?
3-2
