Maia is on the stream and I have seemingly jinxed her again. As with the QF last week she started strongly, building a 4-2 lead before being pegged back and forced into a tie break that she led 5-3 before losing it 7-5.
Hopefully she can regroup and pull out a win. She's counter punching well and is very much in this contest.
At 4*-5 down, the longest game ever, with Maia having an easy chance to come in, and didn't, getting the wrong side of a dodgy line call, saving some MPs with great gutsy play, saving some with endless loopy balls, her opponent getting a dead let cord, seemed like it would never end - but, finally, Maia lost it ..... :(
