tamira breaks. come on tammy!

vivahate - January 14, 2008 12:25 AM (GMT)
the canadian tv feed starts in another half hour :rolleyes:


Flame - January 14, 2008 12:29 AM (GMT)
double break. JJ not at the races yet and tamira surely has a lock on the first set.

Flame - January 14, 2008 12:32 AM (GMT)
jj can't cope with any high ball.

Flame - January 14, 2008 12:34 AM (GMT)
but she gets one break back anyway. df followed by a ue. not good from pasz.

Flame - January 14, 2008 12:38 AM (GMT)
pash re-establishes the double break with her characteristic aggressive style of play. JJ looks a bit shocked.

Wise_Analyst - January 14, 2008 12:42 AM (GMT)
I had Paszek down to win this one in straights... that said, I do like Jankovic, but she's paying the penalty for too much tennis right now. She needs a break.

Flame - January 14, 2008 12:47 AM (GMT)
tamira saves 4 bps to serve out the first set!! what a girl!

Flame - January 14, 2008 12:52 AM (GMT)
i'd be disappointed in jj if she limped out in straights here.

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:02 AM (GMT)
jj's playing better now. this could go all the way imo.

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:13 AM (GMT)
an after a slugfest of a game jj breaks to go 3-1 in the 2nd. i'm getting tired now. stupid aussies. why can't they have daytime in the daytime like the rest of us?

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:27 AM (GMT)
6-2 2-6 game on!

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:34 AM (GMT)
pasz up a consolidated break in the decider.

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:38 AM (GMT)
double break. jj really on the ropes now.

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:45 AM (GMT)
*4-1 tamira!

Flame - January 14, 2008 01:58 AM (GMT)
jj hanging on by her fingertips gets it to 3-4*

Wise_Analyst - January 14, 2008 02:05 AM (GMT)
JJ fighting hard and Paszek choking badly, but she does well to hold to 5-3... she should have already wrapped this one up but just one game away now.

Henin and Nakamura have been exchanging breaks but it's Justine with the advantage at 3-2.

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:07 AM (GMT)
Tamira serving to put out Jelena at 5-4!

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:09 AM (GMT)
horrible choke 0-40!

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:11 AM (GMT)
deuce!

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:15 AM (GMT)
jj saves an amazing mp and breaks back for 5-5 what a match

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:16 AM (GMT)
Wow what a point for Jankovic...

Wise_Analyst - January 14, 2008 02:18 AM (GMT)
Can't believe how lucky Jankovic got there. On match point she somehow kept landing last gasp defensive moonballs right on the line (before admittedly a great winner) and then got two lucky net cords to break. Come on Paszek.

Paszek will get a second chance after breaking right back.

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:19 AM (GMT)
tamira will serve for it again as jj cracks once more.

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:20 AM (GMT)
Tamira serving for the match again...

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:22 AM (GMT)
Match points...what an opening match...

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:22 AM (GMT)
she wastes 2 more mps! deuce!

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:23 AM (GMT)
Oh...deuce

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:24 AM (GMT)
6-6 is there a tiebreak now.

Wise_Analyst - January 14, 2008 02:25 AM (GMT)
Another choke. Piss easy backhand for the match and she fluffed it - surely that's GSM Jankovic now.

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:26 AM (GMT)
How lucky can jj get??

Flame - January 14, 2008 02:26 AM (GMT)
no tb apparently 0-40 on jjs serve. she's determined to lose this match.

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:27 AM (GMT)
What a drop shot...tamira rocks...she's got variety...perhaps my predictions are coming true :rolleyes:

Judging by the shot the played to concede the break there, I'm tempted to agree.

Sadly, Paszek is determined to not win the match so we could be in for a long night...

lalitha - January 14, 2008 02:29 AM (GMT)
Meanwhile my heroine takes the first set against Nakamura... :yahoo:
