I'm listening to Ken, which is great fun, but you do tend to lose track of the actual match!

Not sure what's more shocking - Ken saying Bally looks "thicker" than Görges (unfortunate choice of words! LOL) or Ken pronouncing Görges almost OK! Still, he tells us Bally is always very passionate and easy to 'pull for', so I guess we'll have to let him off.

Ken on Cirstea: "We've got Kirsty on later" "Oh I'm told the T is silent - Cruh-say" "Oh it's not silent - Croosté"

1st set Görges 6-2 Bally not doing much wrong according to Ken but Julia playing really well, smacking lots of winners.

Bally now a break down in the 2nd too. Ken still saying she's playing well, if a bit one-dimensional, but the German is playing up to her ranking.

Ken on Bally: "I'll tell you what, I've never seen her win a match ..." (that's right, Ken is Bally's jinx man!) "... but she always fights"

At 2-6 1-2* Bally gets to 0-40 on Görges' serve and takes the 2nd bp ... quickly 2 bps down again, she saves them both and goes on to hold.

*0-15, *15-15, *15-30, *15-40. Uh oh.

And a double fault gives Goerges the break back.

Bally has to break Goerges again now for the set.

Goerges up 30-0, Bally to 30-30, DEUCE.
C'mon Bally, just 2 little points.

Ad Goerges, back to Deuce, still chances.
Ad Goerges, back to Deuce, still chances.(again!)

7'5 to Bally 2nd set. 1-1.
