Week 32 - Olympic Tennis Competition - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Hard

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

But then... brave. Steps up the attacking, and earns the break back. *3-3
Compeling stuff now.

Well who is going to win this battle of errors ? Jo now 4-3*

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, DF gives Jo a *5-3 lead without having to "commit with a capital T" as the commentator had put it ..

It's a war of nerves. Come on Jo!

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Saves 2 break back points, both with winners.

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

And a third, out-hustling Kuznetsova.
Deuce 2

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

But not a fourth.
Couldn't eke out an MP, with Sveta showing all her quality.
5-4*

Still chance on return to claim the match. Been plenty of breaks.

Kuznetsova holds to 30, *5-5.

I assume no final set TB if we get to 6-6. That's normally the case at the Olympics.

markymc1983 · Club Coach

I'm pretty sure it's a final set tie break

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

Yes, deciding TB for this Olympics.

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

3 more BP saved from Jo *0-40 to deuce.

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

And an ace to hold! TB at worst.
As Svetlana comes out to serve to stay in the match, the clock will tick to 3 hours, of absorbing entertainment, good, bad, great, awful, and lots of drama.
Come on Jo! It's B...B...B... Break time!

indiana · Tennis legend

Mental strength. Holds for *6-5.

There's been a lot of 'Kuznetsova won't go away' from the commentator. Jo's hardly been taking clear opportunities to go away!
