Quite a few in the first set because Stosur served at about 30%. Once she fixed that normality returned. Now the BBC won't let me watch Vaid tank.

Did anyone catch matchpoint #2? A net cord, that clipped the tape, dropped over and died. Ivanovic's reaction was really cute though. She started smiling and covering her face with her visor in embarassment. Heh.

I predict Dechy will collapse ala 2005 AO SF and Ana will sail through the third set.

Wow. Nole's really going over the top with his Maria impressions - although he's a year late.

Ana should really be playing like she has a new lease on life and go for it. As Virginia Wade so eloquently put it, "She got a get out of jail free card". My word.
