Collins now breaks at the start of the 3rd, thanks to UE's from Sewing. The 14th seed has gone to pieces. It's only the start of the 3rd but things are Looking good for Ali. She has all the momentum.

Ali 4-0 up. Playing aggressively and filled with confidence. Has won both her service games to love. The American girl head down, playing with zero. What a turn around in events from being on the cusp of exiting the match a set ago. For the first set and a half there only looked one winner, with Sewing taking the first 6-3. What a sport tennis is!

Uh oh, 15-30 down on her serve Collins slips at the back of the court and twists her ankle. Sewing and the umpire were over. She was down for a minute or two. Back on her feet now but play not resuming yet. May be looking at a visit from the physio now.

No physio. Play resumes. Collins serves a double to go 15-40 down and the loses the game. Clearly struggling phyisically with her movement.

For all the world, at 30-40 (match point) down on serve. Collins hit a drop shot that looked out. But there was no call. Sewing couldn't belive it. And nor could I. It was on the far line to the umpire. No hawkeye.

Collins holds, we are 7-7.
