*1-4.

This set is motoring along and in the wrong direction, but it still is just the one break.

Needs a foothold back in fast though.

Miriambee · Futures level

pulled another service game in, so 2-4*.

Got the break back, *3-4.

Now let's level up proceedings ...

Back level at 4-4. I don't think this will get as far as a tie-break somehow.

I hope it gets to a tiebreak

*5-6.

Whatever that was it was quick too.

Miriambee · Futures level

I'm so impressed she's got it to a tie-break, I thought she'd given up.

I was wrong - suddenly the match fell into a pattern of easy service holds!
Naomi has a poor career record in deciding tie-breaks but has some very good recent memories, in big matches too.
