Lucie's big chance was at 0-30, when she totally bossed this amazing rally and then missed the FH DTL - would have given her 3 MPs. One error ≠ choke, though if she crumbles here that's definitely mentally weak.

Two dumb errors to give Venus 0-40. Playbook!

Venus serves it out to love.
Oh well, a great match anyway.

Also, as much as we love to mock, I'm glad the women's game has provided drama and quality in the first week. FVW/Lucie was a genuinely awesome match. Silliams/The Zak was good too - Silliams obv subpar but by no means a horror show. Shriek/Nadezhda wasn't so good but I've seen worse.

Yeah, it was. Venus is playing great, and moving great on the clay -- MILES better than her lumbering sister who was always lunging for the ball out of reach or not even trying to get there. But still won.  |
