Em needed a bit more help from the draw gods than that.

Interesting she's not playing doubles given she'd be a good shout for the title.

Anna's match is under way and she has started well 2-0*

Peter too · Tennis legend

An amazing start, I hope she can keep it going *5-0

paulisi · Tennis legend

Bagel time

Peter too · Tennis legend

After numerous deuces Anna manages to break again at the start of the 2nd set.

Anna 6-0 *1-0

Peter too · Tennis legend

From 2-0* to 2-2* now the real battle starts.

or Anna has switched off - we have seen this before with Anna when cruising.

After winning 8 games in a row, she loses 4 games in a row. 2-4*
It looks as if Kichenok may have sussed out how to handle Anna's game.

Could be.

But my guess for someone of Nadia's seeding and having seen Anna play, is that it was far more down to Nadia than Anna.

But just my guess . .

Yes, you would expect someone in the top 250 to have a B game and maybe a C game to test any troublesome opponent.

Ah pity. But I'm liking her schedule. Having done pretty well gathering wins and ranking points in 10Ks, she is for now testing herself more at higher levels and should only benefit from the experiences. Learning from how some matches seem to have fairly quickly got away from her after good starts is an example.
