The applause seems fine for both, just a tad louder for Li. Don't know what all the fuss on twitter is about.

Come on, let's break here please. 15-30.
That missed swinging volley for 4-1 could be the difference in this set.

When Li isn't brainfarting away games clubbing backhands into the stands, she's cruising.
Bitcharenka is off but whatever. If Li plays her game, she dominates.

I feel like the 2nd set is going to go quickly now. Like ... 1-6 to Azza.

Great point there from both of them.
I don't know what to think of this match. Some points are really quite good. Some errors are really quite bad.

There's the double break. Ugh.
Everyone's going on about how Li is 58-6 in Slams after winning the first set while Azza is 6-21 after losing the first set BUT no one's mentioned how Li's last two losses at AO have been after winning the first set (against Clijsters).

Oh dear. I woke up just in time to see Li choke for the first set, win it anyway on a DF, go into error mode in the second set and then kill her ankle

The ankle seemed okay - this was my initial reaction. It has helped her since the comeback though.
Could be a blessing in disguise. Keep focussing on the ankle rather than how close she is to the title.

Now it seems Azarenka has lost her forehand again. Li seems to be doing ok and ... I think she will win this. Victoria looks vulnerable to me.

Now she hit her head it's just a disaster for Na The question still remains how it affected her ankle, since she rolled it again
