What a strange match though - there was only one break of serve in the first 11 games, then 9 breaks in the next 10!

That said, 10 games have gone to deuce, so it seems its just incredibly close.

Savinykh gets the 1st break in the decider and has managed to consolidate it, unfortunately

3-6 7-5 *2-4

It must be such a handicap to only win 50% of the points when you get your 1st serve in ... equally shows how good the rest of Jade's game must be if she is managing to keep it this close with a serving stat like that.

steven · Tennis legend

Jade saves break points to stop the Russian going too far ahead. Still a break down though 3-4*
