Marathon game, but Laura breaks again. Serving for the match. Needs to finish things now. The way this set has gone, a tie-break is the last thing she wants.

indiana · Tennis legend

16 point game and on her third BP Laura breaks and will serve for it.

*6-5

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Or not........

WavenNarsam · Lower Club Player

19 DFs so far is surely a problem that needs serious addressing.

indiana · Tennis legend

Went *0-40 down, got back to deuce, but broken again with the 'help' of DFs 14 & 15.

Laura converted 6/16 BPs, Stokke 7/18 ( Stokke 11 DFs )

Tiebreak ...

double faults from Laura a major concern. Into Sabrina Bamburac territory when she had the yips.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

I cannot believe she can't find a method to overcome the double faulting. She used, at least to do yoga, and talk about yoga breathing and stuff, and surely 'mindfulness practice' has appeared on her radar at some point amongst all that ?
