Week 21 - ITF W40 - Otocec, Slovenia Clay
Permalink  

Yes, I'm back. Had a great time in Andalusia, traveled a lot, saw lots of country, castles and white towns.

Well done to you and Wolf (and any others) for keeping the posts going. I updated my spreadsheet yesterday to see what had been happening. I do the posts by copying and pasting from the ITF draw sheets so they come out a little differently but it saves typing out all these pesky surnames !

Em and Mariana took the first set 6-3. They broke at the start of the second, but after going *0-40 down recovered to deuce only to lose it with a frustrating mistake. That's given their opponents a second wind and this looks like going to a MTB.

6-3 1-3*

4 breaks in a row end the set in the wrong way. MTB it is.

Their opponents have won their previous two matches this week in the MTB, Em hasn't won one all year...

6-3 4-6 0-0*

Woohoo! Always nudging ahead but never in clear water, a superb get by Mariana out wide gets them 3 match points. A huge serve from Gjorcheska that Em barely gets her ranking on gives Herdzelas an easy smash but she rushes and nets.

Into the final 6-3 4-6 10-6

Erjavec has just lost a 3-hout, 3 set marathon singles semi-final so there will be a delay before the doubles final.

*3-4

Broke for *2-1 but lost their next two service games. 0/2 on the deuce points.

Argh, broken from *40-15 to drop the opening set 7-5. Tiebreak would have definitely been a 50/50 effort so that was a shame it came unstuck in those final few points.

Had a deuce point for a double break in the second but their opponents get a very handy net cord that pops the ball up and over Em's racket. Not much you can do about that.

*3-2

And on such margins do matches swing.

Final 5 games lost. Other pair did deserve it overall, but a good week.
