3 double faults from Sabine and she breaks herself. Three?! Meanwhile, Li is having MAJOR trouble closing out this set.

Li has been catching her ball toss quite a bit in this game.

Kaia returns the favour - breaks herself on a DF

Li gets broken after a million setpoints. LOL!

Ruh-roh. Li broken.

Why has Li stopped coming to net, anyway? She was doing really well at that earlier.

What was up with Li there? She got confused in that point. She wanted to challenge, threw her hands up asking for a call sees short ball and runs for it and nets easy FH. Haha...silly, silly woman. Saw Muzza do this yesterday too.

I had to leave for the moment and I knew Na Li would have failed to win the set when I return. At least Sabine has turned things around.

Ooof, turns out Li actually hit an ace on one of her SPs...but she didn't challenge. She should have this set.

Sabine up 6-3, 5-2 in the same time that Aga is leading 6-5. The tenth game in Li-Rad was quite lengthy.

Tiebreak seems fair considering how close both have played this set.

Ben Rothenberg @benrothenberg 4m
But on one of her four set points, Li Na would have had an ace if she had challenged. Now she finds herself in a tiebreak.
Is it true?? Why Na, why???

It's Na. We don't question it.

Damn, that FH was WILD.
5-5.

Tiebreak seems fair considering how close both have played this set. No, no, it's not. Na Li was constantly stolen points by umpire and now obviously a line judge (and Na Li herself is guilty obviously).

LOL! Radwanska wins the opener 7-6.
Some TF posters were predicting 7-6, 6-2 for Aga. I thought they were inspired by the Zvereva win over Seles in '98 but realized they probably weren't following tennis then.

Off course Na Li loses the set, off course. I need to stop watching this, it's bad for my health.
Sabine, stop wasting match points!
Thank you! Sabine wins 6-3 6-3 I'm really happy she backed up her win.

Sabine wins 6-3 6-3 I'm really happy she backed up her win. Good. She has a better chance against Aga than Kanepi. Now on to today's main event: Bartoli vs Stephens. Please win, CAKE.

That I think she has a better chance of hitting through ARad then Kanepi.

Oh, geez, Leena. Well, at least sge gets to talk to Carlos now. Let's hope he can fix her head for the rest of the match.

Lisicki was very impressive today apart from that one game blip. Kanepi...now I remember that she's been guilty of not turning up to Slam QFs before, she didn't play appallingly but there was no fight or energy.
Unfortunate that Li screwed herself out of that set but it was pretty decent tennis overall, I'm not mad at Aga's clutch play.

I thought they were inspired by the Zvereva win over Seles in '98 but realized they probably weren't following tennis then. Zvereva was toying with Moniker with junk, and it worked. Maybe Lisicki IS the favourite afterall.

Oops! I haven't even noticed. What a perfect timing for Sabine! And for Na Li, she has time to talk to Carlos.

And the grass back then was...grass. Zvereva had such a great tournament, though. Shame she lost to Tauziat after the 6-1 first set.
