She served for it at *5-4, saved several break points but didn't have a set point. Had 40-0* in the next game, missed all 3 but did really well to save a game point, reset, get the break again and close it out

Up 3-1* second set.

Harriet broke again only to make what could be a crucial double fault at game point that would have taken her to 5-1*. Marino breaks and holds easily.

*4-3

I love indoor tennis.

Harriet wins 7-5 6-4. In a match that was predominantly on Marino's racket, the Canadian just made a few too many poor errors and missed first serves. Harriet was very quick at the back (Marino still hits a very heavy ball these days) and the backhand in particular struck some beauties down the line.

Does nothing for the ranking but a great win against a player ranked about her. Well done.

Harriet was so dominant but she cannot get over the line for the first set although she has had countless setpoints

Into a first set TB.

Yes, Harriet was up 5-1* and at *5-2 had Adv/SP 6 times in a 22 point game. Lost 5 games in a row for *5-6 and has just survived a tight service game.

 Was it Harriet playing poorly though or An Li getting the measure of her
