beautiful 1st set from Lisicki

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Lisicki just missed an easy point for a break point chance for a 3-2 3rd set lead.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

strong serving from Sam down 15-30, holds for 2-1 lead.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Pennetta serving nicely so far as well, 2-2.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Stosur with her first poor service game & Flavia makes her 2nd BP chance pay, 3-2.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

2 poor 2nd serves, 30-0 becomes 30-all

 

[BetCrimes1984]

2 poor BH by Stosur, Flavia holds for 4-2.

Sam's BH being off is her warning sign.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

easy hold on the back of good serving, 4-3

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Flavia continues to serve very well, 40-0

 

[BetCrimes1984]

[BetCrimes1984]

poor error from Stosur at 15-30

now 30-40, BP chance.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Sam whiffs at one, deuce

 

[BetCrimes1984]

BP #2 off a clean winner

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Pennetta with excellent tennis to save that pt, deuce

 

[BetCrimes1984]

poor BH UE, set point for Flavia

 

[BetCrimes1984]

story of the 1st set: Flavia converted 1 of her 2 BP chances, Stosur went 0/4.

Outside the BP misses, the UE vs. winner count is way too lopsided. Surprising to get such a tight set score given the disparity evidenced above.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

If Sam can show something & get this to a 3rd, I question the Italian's ability to last. But if Flavia keeps serving as well as she has in tough spots, she can't be bet against.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

errors mounting for the Aussie.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

another error at 30-all, BP chance

 

[BetCrimes1984]

big 1st serve, deuce

 

[BetCrimes1984]

big 2nd serve, GP

 

[BetCrimes1984]

winner, Sam 2-1 lead.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

both continue to serve well on the big points, barring one exception.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

another easy hold, 2-2

 

[BetCrimes1984]

female Australian commentator I'm listening to has diplomatically called Sam a headcase when she faces Pennetta.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

2 errors by Flavia at 0-30... 30-all.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

nice deep return, 30-40

BP

 

[BetCrimes1984]

ace for deuce

 

[BetCrimes1984]

DF, BP #2

 

[BetCrimes1984]

weak from Flavia, deuce

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Sam holds, leads 3-2

served big again on the crucial points, not her usual MO at this stage of Slams in recent years

 

[BetCrimes1984]

backed Pennetta to break this coming 7th game +200

 

[BetCrimes1984]

another easy Italian hold, 3-3

 

[BetCrimes1984]

DF, 0-15

 

[BetCrimes1984]

FH error off another deep return, 0-30

 

[BetCrimes1984]

good serve -> poor return, 15-30

 

[P-Unit]

Leggo Pennetta

 

[BetCrimes1984]

BH error, 15-40

2 BP

 

[BetCrimes1984]

FH winner saves 1 BP

 

[BetCrimes1984]

drop shot cashes the +200

Sam's her same ole headcase self.

 

[P-Unit]

backed Pennetta to break this coming 7th game +200

nice hit BC

 

[BetCrimes1984]

thnx PU, I see you enjoyed that result as well. Flavia not going to meltdown from here.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

15-30

could've backed her to break again, but my rule is when a player can win the set her next service game not to back the break the game before. Seen too many players take their last receiving game off when they know they only need a hold in their next service game for a set win.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

40-30

 

[Noles4life]

Agreed except women different story.. Holding not so common
