Now listen to Uncle Blob, JoKo !

Get 3-0 up, then let her win a game. Maybe another one at 5-1. Win it 6-2. Time for a shower and a massage, and you've still got some free time left in your afternoon !

Why don't they install some high fencing at the end of the court to shut out some of the traffic noise and to hide all the vehicles going past? It must be very distracting for both players and spectators.

Johanna's radar is always a bit variable.

Pliskova breaks and consolidates, no straightforward victory again it seems, but that's as I'd have suspected before hand.
6-3 2-4*

After several chances slip by in the game, JoKo does finally break Pliskova as she served for the set.
6-3 *5-5

The Czech makes no mistake the second time of asking, and we're going the distance.
6-3 5-7

Johanna has every chance if she can just tighten things up, especially on the forehand.

Ms Konta comes across as a lovely person and is a fine player ... may she have a long and successful top-100 career! But please, Ms Konta, for the sake of your fans (if not for your own well-being), the occasional straightforward straight sets match would be a boon.

Pliskova not really doing much, just keeping the ball in play and letting Johanna's inconsistency do the work at the moment.
Crowd gone very flat. Lively up yerselves.
6-3 5-7 *1-3

I'm switching off the stream now.

I just can't watch all these UEs for no apparent reason (when not even going for forcing shots). I hope Jo wins. Pliskova just smacking down a few big serves, and other wise keeping the ball in play with no power, but no risk. Nothing more.

Good luck.

Konta breaks back the good outweighing the bad in that game. Focus here now!
6-3 5-7 *3-3

But, sadly, it doesn't last. More almost random errors from Johanna see her broken.
Can she call a coaching break? She needs something as she has the winning of this match well within her.
Though it may cost us dear, we'll see it through though.
6-3 5-7 3-4*

Johanna's just an error machine right now, missing the simplest of balls!
