Katie is so much the better player when she raises her level even a fraction. Just can't sustain it. The Spaniard tightened right up at *5-4 and struggling with the wind too.

Just couldn't bring good enough tennis consistently across the match to turn it around. She was more than capable of winning that fairly comfortably. Tiebreak was a great example, played three super points to save three match points, then makes a poor error sending a basic slice backhand a foot long, then get her footwork all wrong and sends a forehand out to lose it.
Frustrating, just hope the thigh and back are ok - she's been through so much just to get here.
