Double fault no. 17 (the 9th in this set alone - er, what?!) for JoKo gives Mrdeza the double break

6-3 6-7(6) 2-5*

daisy · County player

Well, she broke back and is serving at 3-5

steven · Tennis legend

JoKo gets one of the breaks back. Mrdeza has served 9 dfs in the match too, 4 of them in this set, so maybe conditions are windy and getting worse.

GSM Mrdeza 3-6 7-6(6) 6-3

Sadly, that's Mrdeza's best result for more than 2 years.
Jo had an uncharacteristic serving nightmare day - 18 (eighteen) DF's! and only 48% 1st serves in.

Seemed to tighten up when the match was there for the winning at the end of the second, then serve just completely deserted her in the third.

indiana · Tennis legend

Well plain to see what the increasing main problem was as the match progressed. Those DFs wete some millstone to put round her neck.

I wonder how the conditions were, but if not bad it looks a real breakdown in technique, which she will clearly want to understand to try and avoid a repeat.

Shame.
However 6 points and 700 dollars to the good and more experience. Look on the bright side.

Be as well being zero dollars that will not be noticed and neither will 6 points. Not good enough from the Aussie recently.

Cheap, callow and inaccurate. Honestly, any rent-a-quote bloke down the pub does better than that second statement.

Apologies to the, no doubt, many members who had already read this and had better sense and judgement than me, and who just left well enough alone without providing fuel to the fire.

Well said Blob

The grammar is so bad I can't make any sense of the first 'sentence'. It's probably just as well!

Spectator · All-time great

Thank you, Blob.

Yes, I can't say I'm surprised that while Heather and JoKo finished at roughly the same time last night, Jaggy didn't feel the need to venture into the Memphis thread to comment on Heather's result. No doubt it would have been something along the lines of 'what a shocking performance, being pushed to the brink by someone outside the top 100'...

I suspect Jaggy had a bet on Joko winning and used the forum to vent his spleen.
