Jo understandably tightened on serve trying to close the first set, and was broken. But, regrouped, and broke right back, so has a second chance to claim the set.
Tennis from both is high quality; compelling contest.

Halfway to her own bit of history. Great stuff so far and once again showing her mental fortitude having lost serve at 5-4

Venus is playing well, and hitting the ball as hard as at any time in the last 8, or so, years (at least).
But it's Jo that takes the first set anyway

Nae bother at the second time of asking, getting that ( these days so good ) first serve in helps a lot.

That first set was amazing quality.

Venus has dropped away terribly in past couple of games but Jo is doing so well. Nearly there!

Venus stepped it back up. God she's brilliant.

Tough tough tough for Jo now. Looks like going three
