As DF pointed out, there's almost no one in the MCA watching, and the match has gone weirdly flat and devoid of energy, points are just... happening.
Still, on serve.
4-6 6-4 *1-2
After a break between sets, and then the 1 game, Makarova has a medical TO for her foot. Jo not impressed, neither are the Australian commentators on AO Radio. The Russian did look tired at the end of set 2.
