Impressive fightback from Laura so far in this second set - trying to go with Phil's first-case scenario

She won 6 less points in the first set, so the score was pretty fair in that regard.

But has won double the amount of her opponent this set.

Well, Laura certainly kicked butt in that set

Won it 6-0

 Happily 1st part of 1st case scenario accomplished. But I suspect the 2nd part will be much tougher. If she can keep holding serve, chances should come on return, but can she hold her serve !

90deg in Atlanta right now apparently. Laura seems to be coping better. 6 - 0

 Or Gonzalez was taking it a bit easy in that set, knowing that they were heading for a final set.

Yeh, maybe.  But Laura does seem to cope with heat quite well.

Yes. She also must be returning pretty well - throughout the match the other girl's serve percentages are very high, but the win rate very low - I guess (without knowing her really) she pretty much just gets it in, and Laura has managed to attack it well.

Excellent !!

She could end up playing an old adversary in the QF, Melanie Oudin. Laura lost their 1st meeting as juniors, then beat her on the way to her Wimbledon junior title and beat her twice since then.
