6-4 3-6 3-4

I hope those of us who fear we know how this is going to end get proved wrong ...

Peter too · Tennis legend

At least it is now 4-4

indiana · Tennis legend

The evidence mounts that she is probably serving 2nd in which case possibly no breaks at all this set from what I've seen ( but again who looks overmuch at breaks with the women, so who knows smile )

This is probably a silly question, but why are you using Google translate on scores in the first place? confuse

I use chrome and have it configured to translate all foreign language pages into English without prompting.

5-7 disbelief

... but sadly cry

Larrière comes from l'arrière to win 4-6 6-3 7-5 cry (not the proper French for it, I ought to add before SC picks me up on it!)

Bah ! Anne, I waited around in the hope of a happy ending cry

steven · Tennis legend

Unfortunately, that's the sixth time Anne has lost from a set up this year

indiana · Tennis legend

Plenty 3 set wins by the player who lost the first set in the L16 and QFs so far ( including Tara and Jade's L16 wins, but also of course Anne's QF loss )

Edit : Ah, I see the reason for Steven's pessimism earlier.

I'm not sure 6 losses from a set up in 9 months is particularly unusual, it just feels like it has been happening to her a lot recently - and perhaps the other key stat here is that she has only won from a set down once this year, and that was in Auckland in January, just before the first (and most costly, given what transpired in the next round) of the 6 losses from a set up, the one against Petkovic at the AO.
