Good matchplay from Jo, weathered the storm. Kept her level pretty much consistent.
Good serving with the first serve very telling. Three aces in one game, and generally kept everything tight.
Vesnina couldn't really keep up the style she was playing - changing the angle on every shot to the maximum, aand her success level dropped off.
Jo takes the second set well.
Heat rule means the momentum won't stay though, as we now have 10 minutes mandatory between sets.
Thus, any ones match in the decider.
4-6 6-1

Jo a break up, both players playing well now. Match in the balance.
I'm very tense! Go Jo!

Level at 4-4 and new balls for Vesnina to serve

Jo gone completely off the boil right at the wrong time; probably her worst two games of the match there.
Needs to snap out of it straight away. 4-6 6-4 *4-5

Holds.
Vesnina coming on strong again, I'd make the Russian favourite at this point.
