2015 French Open SF: Safarova vs. Ivanovic

[Moose]

I am really excited for this match. Two ladies that I love, playing to get to a Slam final. Doesn't get much better than that.

Here's hoping for an excellent match.

Lucie falls a break down quickly 3-0. Looks nervous. She holds at love for 3-1. Maybe she's settled now

I think this is going to be a long match despite the early nerves.

Seems like Lucie is losing this set... If she does she probably wants to lose it on Ana's serve. If Ana serves at the start of the second I think she'll win the set.

Agreed.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I don't know Ana might get some nerves trying to serve for a place in the final.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

It seems like Lucie is settling into the match. She can only go up. Ana has to maintain.

 

[tossip]

this adje adje is a tad annoying...hope Safarova regroups

You're right. Here come the nerves. 2 BP's for Lucie

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Lucie breaks.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Lucie has nothing to lose she has never been to a final, so it is all gravy to her.

 

[Moose]

Lucie found her way into the match - the slow start didn't concern me, because I knew there would always be a shot at a break against Ana.

 

[tossip]

good she has broke back

 

[kskate2]

5-5

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Lucie levels it!

 

[Moose]

Considering she is not that big a woman, Lucie can throw down some pretty nice aces on her serve.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Looks like an Ana collapse is happening at the moment.

 

[kskate2]

Ana's yips are showing their head

 

[kskate2]

2 more bp's for Lucie

 

[Moose]

Lucie to serve to the set.

and yes, big yips from Ana - the serve is betraying her.
