Venus up a break in the decider 4-1

And a couple of break chances to go up 5-1 but Petra held.
4-2 in the decider, Venus will serve.

 

[kskate2]

Venus gets sloppy and hands the break back. On serve 4-3

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

very good level of Tennis now, there are no free points being giving away.

Caro is in the stands watching...

The lefty forehand does the job 4-4, Venus should stay away from that.

 

[kskate2]

What were you saying about points being given away? After being up 40-15, Venus just donated her serve and Petra will serve for the match at 5-4

 

[kskate2]

MP for Petra

 

[kskate2]

Venus saves and gets the break back. 5-5

 

[kskate2]

After a rollercoaster game, Venus holds for 6-5. Sudden death for Petra.

Things can change in a heart-beat.

Venus fought tooth and nails to pull that break, and she holds.
Lets see if Petra can hold and give us a tie breaker.

 

[kskate2]

On some more sloppy errors from Venus, Petra holds. We're heading for the breaker where I must be honest, I don't like Venus' chances.

 

[kskate2]

3-3 at the changeover

 

[kskate2]

MP for Petra again

 

[kskate2]

Venus saves w/ a huge serve. 6-6 at the changeover

 

[kskate2]

bad error from Petra. MP for Venus

 

[kskate2]

big FH from Petra saves. 7-7

 

[kskate2]

MP #3 for Petra

 

[kskate2]

And the FH lets Venus down again. Petra takes the breaker and the match 6-2 2-6 7-6 (7)

MATCH OF THE DAY

What a match, like a roller-coaster. I enjoyed it.

Caro is coming up, are you ready Leif? Put the brew in the cooler....

 

[kskate2]

I'm sure he'll be drinking a cold one. I don't anticipate Wicky giving Caro problems.

The same predictable old Venus unbeatable in round one .. Can't say the same in round two.. Smh
