Fantastic point from both, Tara capping it full on the run forehand pass to break, and will serve for the match.
A clenched fist to some of the rowdy dipsomaniac Pennsylvanians that have been bothering her for a while might not endear her much to them
3-6 6-1 *5-2
Tara a bit rattled by a questionable line call, Ken, "Tara Moore is out of her mind here. That ball was clearly in."
Tara up to serve for it for the second time. Come on! 3-6 6-1 *5-4
Big FH winner! Adv. Moore
Oudin 8 feet behind the baseline, Tara over-pressing
It's compelling drama!
Big Winner from Oudin, deuce again.
Long point, Oudin takes it. MP against Tara...
5-2* Wild FH from Oudin
5-3* Big FH DTL winner from Melanie, Ken "Way to go girl, you go girl!"
*5-4 Excellent point from Tara to set up MP's slice BH defense and then two cross FH to set the table, and a DTL FH to close
*6-4
7-4
Really entertaining stuff in that last set
3-6 6-1 7-6(4)
Tara made that into a much more entertaining and tense set than it needed to be from 5-2, but she plays a really good tie-break to win it. In the spells of the match when she was on, Tara looked really good, but there were a few dodgy spells too.
Tara v Laura tomorrow for the second time in a month.
Yay, well done Tara. Thanks very much for the commentary AliB, sounds like it was quite a match between two players who had good singles weeks last week. Well done Tara on pulling it together for that final TB.
Live rankings is showing Tara'a new CH on Monday as being at WR 175 and that's so far another net 4 points to add for Monday week.
