What, players can call for a MTO any time they feel they're losing their timing then? No, that's why there are time rules. You don't get to pause the match unless you're physically incapacitated. All other cases, wait for the damn changeover. If it was serious enough that she couldn't get through the game, she wouldn't have been able to finish the match.
Shvedova is feeble-minded, yes, always known that.

Doesn't always follow, it might have been serious enough that she couldn't finish the next point.
You don't see this very often...

Maria fails in her challenge..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:04 (eleven years ago)
Kerber gets away with a mediocre dropshot, SPs...
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:04 (eleven years ago)
lol, awful shot, two SPs for kerber.
Fantastic!

both players mostly playing well, sharapova with more errors when it counted tho
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:07 (eleven years ago)
<3 luxury of being able to look at Slamtracker at home - showing Maria had 19 UEs to Angelique's 3 in the first set.
― katstevens, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:12 (eleven years ago)
so now Sharapova will win 6-2, 6-1?
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:12 (eleven years ago)
She has broken so maybe?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:13 (eleven years ago)
yeah, winning a set against Sharapova is a dangerous ploy.
― cajunsunday, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:14 (eleven years ago)
brilliant FH from Kerber to break back
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:16 (eleven years ago)
serious rallying here
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:17 (eleven years ago)
another cracking FH from Kerber.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:19 (eleven years ago)
When Kerber is on, she is so good
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:20 (eleven years ago)
THAT FHHHHHH
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:23 (eleven years ago)
incredible crouched forehand
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:23 (eleven years ago)
WHAT. A. HOLD.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:24 (eleven years ago)
Wow, good on Kerber for the hold!
― katstevens, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:24 (eleven years ago)
brilliant resistance, but can she keep it going?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:25 (eleven years ago)
Awesome.
― cajunsunday, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:25 (eleven years ago)
She seems pretty pumped up, I don't see why not. xp
― Roz, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:25 (eleven years ago)
It was a huge effort is all. Its toe to toe, Maria also on deuce.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:30 (eleven years ago)
Elsewhere, Lopez plays his 20th and 21st TBs of the grass season, but loses both to Stan...
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:34 (eleven years ago)
Kerber can get unnecessarily sulky sometimes when she hits a run of bad shots, but we haven't seen much of that yet.
― Roz, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:36 (eleven years ago)
take yer cap off to that from the screamer
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:41 (eleven years ago)
Hawkeye really hates sharapova today
― Roz, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:52 (eleven years ago)
Sharapova doesn't need it tho' - wins the 2nd.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:54 (eleven years ago)
Aaand into the decider
Nishikori playing a lot more efficiently than vs Bolelli, from what I've seen in the last couple of games
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:54 (eleven years ago)
...and immediately gets broken from 30-0 up. RMDE
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 13:55 (eleven years ago)
Kerber breaks!
― katstevens, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:01 (eleven years ago)
breaks! but maybe too early for that?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:01 (eleven years ago)
Kerber gets the break, wonderful reabsorption and redirection of pace there!
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:01 (eleven years ago)
awesome!!
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:02 (eleven years ago)
and not troubled after losing the 1st point on her serve: 3-0 Kerber
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:04 (eleven years ago)
BAGEL HER
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:04 (eleven years ago)
lol we both know that ain't gonna happen
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:05 (eleven years ago)
can't remember seeing Kerber serve this well before
― cerealbar, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:05 (eleven years ago)
sharapova cd easily win the next 3, 4 or 5 games, but kerber is playing titanically
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:06 (eleven years ago)
And Maria's errors are mounting up...
― katstevens, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:08 (eleven years ago)
net cord for the game!
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:09 (eleven years ago)
didn't watch any of the match but apparently Stan and Feliciano didn't shake hands and argued at the net instead?!
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:09 (eleven years ago)
not stringing them, always an error from Maria's racket - Kerber holds well too.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:14 (eleven years ago)
superlative hold
― avicii usque ad arse (imago), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:14 (eleven years ago)
Bloody hell
― katstevens, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:16 (eleven years ago)
Kerber's defence!
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:16 (eleven years ago)
Holy. Moly.
― cajunsunday, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 14:16 (eleven years ago)
LMAO, Anna Chakvetadze is commentating on Russian TV and said after Sharapova hit that volley in the last game: "Oh, she hits a volley! Years of practice paid off"
