Kulichkova is also a decent junior (career high of 3 last year) and has had some decent runs at junior slam level (SF Australian, QF French). She is also the player who defaulted out of the SFs of the Italian Open earlier this year as she decided to skip her match so she could play the qualies of a 25K in Moscow...

Encouraging, but it looks like another tricky opponent next.

Big break between the end of set 2 and the first point of set 3. Presumably a toilet break by the Russian. They teach them young in Eastern Europe to do this, so I presume they don't even think of it as gamesmanship or bad sportsmanship, merely being "professional".

And it works a treat 0-2* to the Russian. And do we think she cares a jot whether it's a form of cheating? Err. No!

Tara got broken in the first game on the second set.
But then did well to not get broken once again in the third game. 1-2*

Phew! Tara now needs to stop the sequence of 2 games in a row for each player that has been going on throughout this set!

A df gives Kulichkova another bp ... saved

I wondered for a moment whether the 2 games to one player followed by 2 games to the other sequence might be due to it being easier to play from one end than from the other, but no, Tara must be holding from one end then breaking from the other and vice versa for Kulichkova, who has just had another bp, also saved.

I have always considered Tara to be a reliable server but 8 df's so far this match, wonder what the weather conditions are like?
