Anyone know if Katie's final is likely to be on Bet365 Live Inplay?. It's not showing listed at the mo, but maybe someone knows at what point yesterdays semi actually showed in the listings? The match is scheduled for 12pm Mildura local time; I am also flummoxed at to whether that is 11pm, 12am or 1am here ?

Help needed !!

Looks like the live score will be on bet365 - the details have appeared there in the last couple of hours smile

.... but I should go to bed yawn

.... Good luck all you night owls. Allez Katie! smile

According to Bet365 Katie is a strong favourite at 1/2 to win this match.

Hmm that looks like a case of the bookies setting odds based only on the current rankings.

Katie held to 15, Hsieh held to love then broke Katie to 15 and held to 15, so it's *1-3.

steven · Tennis legend

30-30, but Hsieh wins the next two points to go a double break up.

1-4*

Hsieh holds to 30 then breaks to love for the breadstick

steven · Tennis legend

Hsieh held to 30 at the start of the 2nd then broke again, though at least Katie got to deuce this time. 8 games in a row 1-6 0-2* - aren't you glad you didn't stay up disbelief

I wish I hadnt! I also wish I'd put some money on it when I saw the odds!

steven · Tennis legend

Hsieh holds to 30 but Katie has just held to 30 to end a 9-game losing streak.

steven · Tennis legend

Hsieh holds to 15 before Katie holds to 30 again, but she's running out of time fast.

steven · Tennis legend

Katie goes down 1 & 2 - at least, I assume so, the scoreboard just disappeared after match point - losing her fifth Final in a row.

Still, at least she got there!

Darn, I am afraid I was up to follow some of that cry

Hoped it would at least be a closer contest than it transpired.

Yes, the odds were very strange. Surely they generally have more expertise than just looking at current rankings. Meh, maybe I could have been making money for years !

Anyway, still some encouragement hopefully generally for Katie to take out of the week and should be knocking on the door of being back in the top 200 on Monday week.

Oh dear ! So sorry for Katie. cry

But it did look to be a toughie. And as said above it's certainly been a good week for her.

Thanks to those who were the night owls - smile
