Can she rally in the deciding set? The Argentinian is getting stronger as the match continues

DF · Tennis legend

Anna levels the set at 1-1 thus stopping the rot

Anna is a break up (again)

- 6-3 5-7 *3-2

0-40, 3 rebreak points ... 1 saved ... 2nd taken

6-3 5-7 *4-3

PaulM · Tennis legend

DF · Tennis legend

She holds her serve to go up 5-3

steven · Tennis legend

Anna holds. Can she break for the match this time?

steven · Tennis legend

Another match point comes and goes ... she'll have to try to serve it out again

Well Done Anna!

Never in doubt!

Good win and hopefully very good match experience.

I like how she has kept with it and overcome what must have been disappointments to still get the win. Good to see.

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Phew! Well done.

Plenty of character shown in that one.

Anna's adventures on clay in Latin America are becoming a very pleasant change from the usual quite narrow routines & patterns for GB female players trying to make their way in the game.

Even if everyone had complete freedom about when, and where, they played - money or resources being no object - I wonder how many of our players would venture out much beyond the usual suspects and familiar old haunts?
