And gives the break back with 2 DFs! I despair, I really do.
At 4-2, the pressure is beginning to swing towards Rybarikova. So Laura gives her a DF to start the game, instant boost for her opponent. Loses the next point, and her opponent is on the verge of breaking after only winning 1 point in the game. Then Laura serves another DF, to go 0-40.
Its just terrible matchplay at the moment. This is going to be a comfortable straight set loss, clearly.
Well Robsons bakery might not open today in terms of breadsticks and bagels, but Chef Robson has certainly served me a hearty portion of humble pie - and its never tasted better!
*4-1 is good but still quite a bit from the finishing line in a WTA match with no real serve superiority and many close games. And Laura hasn't been crossing that line too often recently.
