Cavaday breaks Hingis to love :yikes:

Cavaday is 3-0 up!!

Jesus, I knwo I was nervous about this but I wasn't expecting this.

C'mon Hingis!!

Hingis gets a break back 1-3

There's clearly a lot of rust on Hingis's game, having been out for more than a month. She was actually down two service breaks to Cavaday 0-3, but has already retrieved one break for 1-3.

I wish she would stop hitting mid court shots right down the middle to her opponents... she never goes for the lines anymore

2-3 Hingis...

Now break again!

Hingis scrapes out of a deuce game to hold serve for the first time 2-3.

Cavaday is looking impressive thus far. She's creating some fine short angles, hauling Hingis well wide on both wings.

Hmmm..

4-2 Cavaday... I don't enjoy seeing Hingis play like this

A poorly-chosen flubbed drop shot from Hingis that catches the tape - always a sign of trouble in her game. :unsure:

Cavaday holds on to her break advantage a while longer for 4-2.

She looks quite rattled like she doesn't wanna be there.

Holds for 3-4

Couple of nice classic backhands from Hingis there..

:clap:

Well done Hingis, 3 good backhands gets the break back

Now it's Hingis who is finding the angles, putting pressure on Cavaday, and draws even 4-all. Credit to her for shaking it off.

Hingis seems to have found her range, with an easy hold to 15 for 5-4. Wouldn't be surprised to see her break here for the set.

They are battling it out for this game.. If Cav holds I have a bad feeling for Hingis..

I had the same feeling, especially when Hingis squandered set point from deuce. But Cavaday throws in two doubles in a row to gift her another.

Nice passing shot from the Brit to save a second.

A third set point goes by the wayside with a wide backhand miss from Hingis. It's her last chance as two strong serves from Cavaday put away the game with a gutsy hold for 5-all.

No trace of disappointment from Hingis with a brisk hold to 15 for 6-5. She'll probably get another look at set point here I'd think.

C'mon Naomi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tiebreak it is... Cav holds to 15..

C'mon Hingis! :unsure:

C'mon Cav!!!! Tris how can you not cheer for the English lass :o :lol:

Gotta be fair to the Brit though, she is doing well, its a shame she has come up against my fave Hingis or I would be rooting for her.

I want Hingis to win though as I'm sure a first round loss wouldn't do her cponfidence any good at all and I wanna see her get back to a decent level..

As if we were psychically linked BC I answered your question already! :D

shit 4-1 Cavaday..

bah, im to excited that an Brit is playing well :o

Cavaday is all business, and it's Hingis who is showing the nerves. Disaster looms at 1-5 in the tiebreaker. Hingis has to be thinking about those three missed set points during the change of ends.

5-1

;)

5 set points Cavaday..

C'mon Naomi

A terrible overhead miss gives it to the home favourite, 7-6(1). That was a bit of a mental breakdown there for Hingis.

:D :D woohooooooooooooo

Hingis seems annoyed and breaks to love for 1-0 in the second.

:(

C'mon Hingis... I'm off home in a sec, I bet I don't get home until around 7... Sheffield and the Peak District is in a bit of a state right now.. Bridges collapsing rivers bursting buildings on fire..
Sheesh...

Some poor serving and UEs from Hingis give the break right back. It's looking grim.

Cav breaks back..

Yet another break of serve puts Hingis back up 2-1.

Safe trip

how exactly did gatecrasher catch fire? :huh:

Not too sure about how it did, just that once it had, there were a lot of flammable liquids in! Obviously!

Shame it did burn down, I spent all my university years in that club before it was called Gatecrasher though :(
Although I imagine they will get a nice insurance pay out and rebuild better than before but looking at it as I go past, it looks like it may need to be demolished first.

There is a building on fire near the Shopping Centre Meadowhall at the mo.. looks quite big too, although I imagine the rain will put a stop to it.
I have never in living memory experienced rain like this..

back to tennis and Hingis is 4-2 up :pray: Hopefully the set soon
