Is she hurt? Nav mentioned some shoulder thing. Anyway that was a heck of a beatdown from little Domi. By the way I didn't realize that Simona's also a short player.

Haha, Aga running Azza all over the place at the start here. And she gets the early break! Azza not looking so special so far.

Wily Aga confounding straightforward Azza so far. And why are the commentators calling Azza "all power"? Her shots haven't looked all that powerful to me so far. She's going for the lines, which would be fun to watch if the ball weren't always landing outside them.

Get a grip, Azza. This is dumb. And now we have to switch to Evert, ewwww

But no! Azza manages to keep a few balls in the court, and she wins a game.

First set to clever Aga 6-1! Right now Aga is Bugs Bunny and Azza is dimwitted Elmer Fudd.

Also, I think it's terrible that the masseuses all left before Stan could get a post-match massage after that battle! Can you imagine if that had happened to Queen Ma$ha? LOL Hope his old muscles didn't freeze up.
I'm assuming Azza is taking a traditional SEWTA bathroom break?

ESPN missing out on Azza struggling to hold serve in the first game of 2nd set

Oh! An Azza drop shot! Taking a page out of Aga's playbook!

And Azza manages to hang on, saving at least one BP. All while ESPN yammers on. But this is a huge moment in this Azza match. Can she consistently find her range?

Evert, of course, missing the point that Azza was TRYING to implement her game plan during set 1, and she WAS standing at or just inside the baseline - she just kept missing her shots.

By the way, according to Navratilova, the following young players are all future Slam champions: STEPHENS. BOUCHARD. BIG MUG. And probably many more; I doubt she'd have left out Keys, for example, if her name had come up.

This match is not bad! Azza's playing better now, but not consistently. What is with all the serves into the net? Anyway at least she's not completely out of the match the way she was a little while ago.

Maybe Azza will cry! That would be a new one. She just got broken again after a horrible serve game. The girl's just not right tonight.

And then Azza breaks easily. What a sport this is!

There'd be 50 of them in the top 10.

Looks like Azza picked up on Aga chokery and gained strength from it; suddenly these shots are going in. But we'll see.

No, she's not; she's third tier right now.

Chris Evert belatedly notices that Azza is playing much better.

I expected Azza to really step up and break Aga in that game but she failed. 5-all and can still go either way.
Aga's weird air-kicking BH, why.

How is it that not one of these 3 commentators imagined Aga flinching when serving to stay in the set? Don't they ever watch women's tennis? 2nd set, predictably, to Azza, who is playing at about 55-65% now.

Aga breaks, the crowd goes wild, Azza has one challenge remaining, Aga also wasted one. Eventful first game!

Lol Aga 5-0 in the third. Azza's pulling off a Mauresmo classic scoreline today.

Wow, missed the rest of the 3rd set and looks like I missed a rout? Would not have expected that at all. What a great AO this is! And I LIKE Azza. (sort of)
