This is a bit of a shocker so far, Tara playing like someone just told her 5 minutes ago that she'd made the draw.

PaulM · Tennis legend

She'll be wishing she hadn't gotten in at this rate....

Hope she can find her way into this. Not pretty.

Oh b****r 0-5!

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Whoa!
0-6 in just 19 minutes.
That's just... wowsers!
Ouch!

Dig deep Tara.

and the set. Cummon Tara, wake up! give them some girl!

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

The way she's going it could be the opposite of Evo last night

At least the last game was semi-competitive. Hopefully this will be the curse of the love set for Sema.

Well, she's won the first game of the second set ... beginning of a turnaround?

Oh well, hard fouhgt first game, but at least it's not going to be a double bagel.

halleluyah ! (and Dushevina is struggling . .. . ) Shake a leg, Tara !

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

Ouch, fairly quick couple of games for Sema to make it 1-2.

PaulM · Tennis legend

I really expected much more from Tara today. Still time to turn this around but she'll need to find something quickly.

Pretty shocking but it can't have been easy resigning herself to not getting in then suddenly finding at the last moment that she was in. Of course, you could argue that she shouldn't have resigned herself to not getting in and, in any case, some players would play better rather than worse if they got an unexpected chance like this.

Of course, there may be something else wrong and/or Sema may be playing the match of her life - it's impossible to tell without seeing it.
