A second t/b having been nicely contrived at the exo, Fed wins it 8-6 to take the match by 2 sets to 1 and everyone's happy ... yawn

Anne has just gone a break down in the final set - 2-4* - she needs a bit of that Fed magic now!

Apologies for quoting myself ashamed but I've just realised that she really did get a bit of that Fed magic - 2-4 down in the final set, just like him against Pete, brought it back to 5-5, just like Fed, ended up in a tiebreak, just like Fed, and won it 8-6, just like Fed! SPOOKY! winkevileye

Katie should be on very soon, her match follows Niemeyer-Lapentti.

Anne's match follows Gagliardi-Arn which is currently 6-1 3-0.

Would be great to have a stress free match - give us time to recover for the next one.

Maybe it's very very windy there - that might explain the 29 bps in the Boggo match and all the messy serving here - though Katie's now up to 8 dfs and her opponent has only done it once.

Indian Wells - feels like 86F 8% humidity winds NE 3mph so not strong. Building up in the next couple of days though.

Seriously though, how can you expect to make a living from tennis when you serve TEN double faults in a set?

Good thinking to check the weather. So if it's not the wind, I wonder what it is. (not that this is unusual for Katie, just a bit more extreme than usual)

Arn won 6 games in a row from a set and 2-5 down, so Anne may not make it on court until midnight.
