Cincinnati 2014: Western and Southern open

[kskate2]

Simo gets the early break 2-0

 

[kskate2]

Just like the 2nd set, Simo serves up slop and we're back on serve 2-1

 

[Moxie]

Test of wills at this point. Both are pretty tough, but Sharapova is not one to give over easily. And she breaks back. Intriguing.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Sharapova breaks back at love, 2-1 Simo, Masha will serve, back on serve.

 

[Fefe26]

come on simo. get rid of the screamer.

 

[kskate2]

^ that's not easy to do

 

[kskate2]

On serve 3-2 Simo

 

[kskate2]

3-3

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Simo seems a little too hyped up, I think it's best to settle and not get frustrated.

 

[kskate2]

Still on serve. 4-3 Simo

 

[TennisFanatic7]

I don't mind Maria but it's about time Halep got a win over her. Simona to win a major soon, I hope...

 

[kskate2]

Not donating points like that she won't

 

[kskate2]

4-4

 

[kskate2]

2 bp's for Maria

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Oh Simona

 

[kskate2]

Halep DFs the game away

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Maria scores 4 straight points to break Simo the 9th game of deciding set, last point a double fault by Simo.
Maria will serve for match leading 5-4

 

[kskate2]

Maria to serve for it w/ 11+ DFs

 

[kskate2]

Oh no. They have to replay that point

 

[kskate2]

30-30
