I'm not entirely surprised. Robson's always performed significantly better, the bigger the tournament.
If she could run even just a bit she would've won this set 6-0 by now.

Oh, and I see Peng has turned that match around, too.

Yes, the Haleping begins now -- not watching but SB says so

Did Halep really choke? I mean...she sucks.
This match actually does remind me of Sharapova beating Serena in 04.
Oh no, Robson double faults are with us now too.

Now Robson with double faults, 2 in this game.

"5 games in a row for Marion Bartoli. She's a different player out there" -- yes, finally started playing aggressively. You cannot out-LDL LDL!

Cake I don't think there's a single player in the top 100 who should ever lose to LDL. Maybe Brianti.

There have been more Playbook instances on the men's side this tournament! Has there even been a mega-choke yet on the women's side yet?

This match actually does remind me of Sharapova beating Serena in 04. I'd be shocked if that were to happen here. Robson is no Sharapova, not that we've ever seen, anyway.

Re: movement - I know that Robson's had a big growth spurt this year that's hampered her. But she might be like Hantuchova - as hard as Anotoxfa works she's just never ever going to be that fast, it's just her body type.

4-1 to 4-all, no surprises on CC.
A doctor has come out to see to Cake, who seems to be ill rather than injured.

LDL should do one of her dropshots, test Bartoli's health right now. She's just going to be feeling better and better after taking something.

Cake back to her baseline ways, no longer rushing forward --- that's not going to be an easy way to close this out.

Sharapova just wasted 2 challenges, lol. The crowd wasn't impressed.
Robson is 2 for 2 in her challenges, Sharapova now 0 for 3.

LOL, Sharapova throwing her hands up in indignation when the out call didn't come...but not challenging it. She knew it was in

Meanwhile I'm trying to work out whether I find Ryan Harrison attractive. I think...yeah, he would get it.

Cake received a warning due to her father's coaching. Reported by the line judge, haha.

I thought I wanted Sharapova to win but I find myself rooting for Robson. I think I hate all the top women's players and want upsets galore? No, there's Bepa and CAKE.
What's up with CAKE?

Ferrer just wrapped up his five-setter against Harrison, lovely volleys were key in that last set. Still don't feel I've seen enough of Harrison to really gauge his game yet. Bah, Sharapova won the TB That was an impressive set from Robson though. She didn't Playbook it at all. Hey, I see Flo just took the first set over Roddick! I did predict this though. Go go go Flo.
