I'll see the end of the first set. 6-5* 40-40. Gabi had a set point but didn't convert.

Tie break. Largely comfortable holds after their early exchanges until that one.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

3 more SPs have come and gone. Was 6-3*, now *6-6

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Saves a SP now, 7-7*

But not a second :(, loses first set 6-7(7) and a pretty easy shot into the net from close distance - Gabi not happy. 4 SPs came and went.

Not over, but a lot of work today. It is indeed very windy.

Decides to just play some tennis ( and looks too good when she does ) and takes the second set TB 7-2

6-7(7) 7-6(2)

Still some weird moments, never seen her reacting like this when things go wrong. She's normally very businesslike, a bit in your face but doesn't get down on herself.

2-1* in the final set.

At *30-15 second serve a couple of missed throw ups ( the wind did seem even worse to be fair ) and a DF followed. Bad mid court error ( her second of the game ) saw the racket dropped to the floor and a yell of frustration, *30-40. Slightly unexpectedly regrouped to take the next 3 points quite decently,
