Sloane gets the mini break again 5-4. Has 2 serves now

6-4, she now has 2 set points!

 

[kskate2]

Oh my. Maria overcooks the BH and drops the 2nd set breaker

 

[Moxie]

Strong showing in the TB. First time she takes a set off Sharapova. Good stuff!

 

[Riotbeard]

Go sloane!

 

[kskate2]

Will Jimbo come out now?

 

[the AntiPusher]

I am always Right. just kidding I don't want to sound like you know who. I am off to get my popcorn.. Kskate and kiu.. you two can handle it from here.. Sloane isn't gonna get my hopes up because I know Pova gonna go for blood this set..

 

[kskate2]

Sabine breaks JJ to take the middle frame 7-5. Heading to a decider.

Well there you have it now can Sloane hold steady and take the 3rd set we will see. I see Jankovic is back to her old way of gifting games and potentially matches.

 

[kskate2]

Talk about role reversal. Sloane was making all the errors in the 1st set. Now Sloane has tightened up her game and Maria is making the errors. Masha down a break in the decider 0-2.

 

[kskate2]

JJ grabs the early break 2-0

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Let's see if Sloane can hold for 3-0 first

 

[kskate2]

Nope. She DF the break advantage right back

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Nope, she better calm herself if she wants a chance to beat Sharapova!

 

[Moxie]

Rookie error. But Maria seems a bit off. She'll probably right the ship now, though.

 

[kskate2]

Maria returns the favor and DF the break back. 3-1

 

[kskate2]

Sloane up 4-1

 

[Moxie]

Strong hold. Sloane seems the calmer of the two.
