I did fear this might happen, Laura just doesn't like pressure at the moment.

At least with the tennis scoring system they still have a chance, it's only one set.

You're not kidding! I can't believe they lost the first set by that much, also annoying not to be able to find out what really happened with it only on LS.

More to do with the pressure factor, Laura had been playing loose all week, but now with the potential of a huge prize she's playing tight, of course I dont know for sure but thats my best guess.

Let's remember Petrova ( WR 3 ) and Srebotnik ( WR 10 ) are rather good at this doubles lark.

So let's maybe not have too high expectations or be too critical in that Lisa and Laura have not necessarily become some natural world beaters after their remarkable performances and wins so far here.

Anyway, better in set 2. C'mon the LRs !!

Guess ut;s just that they whooped the WR1s, so expectations are high.
