British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

I saw Susan Bandecchi at Aldershot-a very determined young lady!

Anyone else watching this? I thought there was a terrible call (or lack of call) at match point on Alicia's serve. Bandecci's shot looked way long

 I agree.

Terrific match. Fantastic win. Alicia is so solid and unruffled

 Yes I thought the same. Thank God she got over the line eventually.

 Yes I thought she did really well to keep going.  Bandecci is definitely a fighter and made it very difficult for her.

 Looked back and thought that. But earlier in the week I was fairly convinced that another shot coming towards the camera was long, and in both cases the player at the camera end has carried on playing as normal with no query even after the point. I wonder if there can be a bit of an illusion with such shots towards the camera?

Anyway yes, got out through that last game from *5-4 15-40 really well.

Alicia kept playing to the call but at the end of the point she pointed to the line, presumably indicating she thought it was out too.

Siskova now getting a lot of balls back in court. Hard work for Hannah.

 Then Siskova threw in an awful service game and it was all over.
