We're a set away from history! (the BBC commentator is copying me even as I type this - I fear that confirms we're both just shamefully unoriginal)
6-3

Japan win a long third game of set 2 multiple BP gone by. Take a strong lead in the set.
Kato's in a bit of a purple patch.
6-3 *0-3

Yes. I still think Annie K's 'low risk' match selections were actually quite high risk. Now I worry about Heather's stamina, in the face of having had two singles losses. The Japanese pair are fresh in all respects. I just hope that Heather can continue to knuckle down.

In addition if Jo and Heather DON"T win this, then Heather will be inconsolable and have a very deep psychological scar... so hope they can come back in the third, since this looks like going that far now, unless they pull a Katie B now.

Important to hold here, hopefully serve first in set 3 and build immeditae pressure - it's looking borderline overwhelmingly ominous.
6-3 *0-5

DO hold, then come out firing for service return winners and make most of them, and break, 6-3 *2-5
Still need to hold again, don't want to serve second in a third set.

My fingernails are already down to the elbows.
