Gabi's match keeps getting interrupted I assume by bad weather - currently 4-4 first set

DF · Tennis legend

Gabi takes the first set 7-5

Michael D · All-time great

Still playing. 7-5 4-4 They are in a marathon ninth game, during which so far Gabi has had 5 BPs. THe match itself has gone 2 hrs 20 + and they are still in the second set, and so far this set has gone 84 points for only 8 games completed.

A 6th BP in the game... not taken.

Civera Lima eventually holds. That game alone was somewhere between 20-30 mins long, and they are averaging 9.5 points per game this set. A MTO now, I'm not surprised. Oxygen probably needed all round. Gabi must be wholly frustrated and exhausted at this point.

Exactly, pretty incredible! Gabi eventually wins a BP, 2/12 this set, and will have a chance to serve for the match.

A love game at the end. That must have been a blessed relief. 7-5 7-5 to Gabi wink she must wait to find her next opponent as they are still on court.
