I am just watching highlights of the Pavs game against Kerber as I had to go to work,
If Garbine keeps displaying the level of tennis she has to make the q/final she will be too strong for Pavs
Garbine in straight sets.
It will be interesting to see the tactics from Pavs in this match,her coach,Sam Sumyk ,is the former coach of Garbine,he knows her game backwards.

Pavs has a special place in my heart because IIRC as a 15/16 year old she played a Sacramento WTT event that my wife surprised me with because it was when Pistol Pete re-emerged to play again.

Pavs in three!!!

I did not know the umpire for this match Carlos Ramos was a tennis player,but gave it up to become a professional umpire.

First set Pavs had a couple of breaks and could not convert

Garbine played the big points better at a crucial point towards the end of the first set and won 75.

Garbine needs to remain aggressive,though she must not over press her shots at times,Pavs breaks opening service game of the 2nd set.

Only glancing at the scores, but after trailing, I see Garbiñe won the first set! Go, girl!

Garbine with 3 BPs.....Pavs game is unravelling,her 2nd set again is letting her down.Garbine has really put pressure on that 2nd serve and it is paying off.

Garbine 4-2 consolidates and leads 5-2
