On the one hand, you could say what a good showing from Alicia, what a close score
But, really, she had every chance to perhaps win this, or at least to really impose herself - she was a break up in the first, she was 5-2 up in the second set TB, she had at least 2 SPs in the TB........ it was for her to just squeeze the door shut, and she couldn't do it
To my mind, it's not a win that got away, that's a bit too much - but she should have got a third set, she shouldn't have given away the second break in the first set so easily.... there are regrets there
Nice for Lissy and Lixi to get a good win - although shame it's at the expense of Maddy
(the addict, I don't know if it's just me, or it maybe looks different on moderators' screens, but the title of the thread here, for me, still has "WTA125 Les Sables O'Alonne, France - Hard (indoor)", as opposed to Les Sables d'Olonne)
