LMAO @ that break point, Halep's courtcraft outwitting Lisicki, who panicked the minute she had to hit the volley, beautifully

For someone without a huge serve, Halep sure gets a lot of free points off it
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:00 (eleven years ago)
All over the Lisicki second serve. Ten straight games. Halep will serve for the bagel

Bouchard double break, on the 5th attempt.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:04 (eleven years ago)
ooh a couple of cheap erros from Halep. The occasion
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:06 (eleven years ago)
but now one MP
what a point!
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:07 (eleven years ago)
Just awesome
And kerber gets a break back - didn't see it.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:08 (eleven years ago)
Halep just rubbing salt into Lisicki's wounds by the end. Efficient destruction.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:08 (eleven years ago)
Didn't expect to refocus on the other QF to find a mini Kerber resurgence, I'd guess it's only staving off the inevitable though.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:13 (eleven years ago)
wow, Kerber! And she's pumped up - enough energy for another intense match?
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:14 (eleven years ago)
Lol I went to take a shower right at 2-0 in the second set and when I got back to the TV Halep was giving her winner's interview ^_^
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:15 (eleven years ago)
She has got smething back. But Bouchard has two game points for 5-3
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:15 (eleven years ago)
Bouchard to serve for the match...
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:18 (eleven years ago)
Halep is incredibly impressive, she will dispose of either of these w/ease. Would be fun if she won it 6-0 in the 2nd. That would be three consecutive matches.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:19 (eleven years ago)
Bouchard into the net for the first point.
Return! 15-15
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:20 (eleven years ago)
Cracks a FH across, then df: 30-30
break back point!!
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:21 (eleven years ago)
Saves it with a BH
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:22 (eleven years ago)
Saves it again, now MP.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:23 (eleven years ago)
Does it the hard way!
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:24 (eleven years ago)
Nearly blinked, but didn't.
Bouchard and Halep played in Indian Wells in March, Halep won 6-4 in the third. I only saw the closing stages and she seemed in control, and she's certainly played better this Wimbledon, but...I'd say 60-40 in Halep's favour?
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:25 (eleven years ago)
Halep-Kvitova will be hard to watch if it comes to that...shame there has to be a loser.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:29 (eleven years ago)
Dimitrov with the early break.
The other interesting thing about the women's SFists is that it's a sign that the narrative of the game getting older is waning. Three of the SFists born in the '90s, must be the youngest SF line-up in some time.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:45 (eleven years ago)
Yup. Dimitrov pounding Murray's 2nd serve.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:48 (eleven years ago)
Murray is pretty bad today
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:48 (eleven years ago)
double break.
1st great shot!
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:49 (eleven years ago)
6-1
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:53 (eleven years ago)
wouldn't be surprised if this match ended with a scoreLiNa, it has fuckery written all over it
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 12:59 (eleven years ago)
my god, 2dfs
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:02 (eleven years ago)
Dug himself out of a hole.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:05 (eleven years ago)
His serve isn't there however if he can hang on that should improve.
Next is those unforced errors, return is working ok.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:06 (eleven years ago)
Cilic doesn't seem to be giving Djokovic much trouble
― katstevens, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:12 (eleven years ago)
Those unforced errors won't go away. On serve but this is surely slipping away.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:14 (eleven years ago)
lol that smash
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:16 (eleven years ago)
lol Murray smashes into the net
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:16 (eleven years ago)
awful, feeble error after a winner.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:17 (eleven years ago)
On the brink. BP
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:19 (eleven years ago)
I'm not really worried yet, Murray is comedic atm but he's come from 1/2 sets down and won messier matches than this. Dimitrov's done nothing wrong but hasn't really been challenged yet.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:19 (eleven years ago)
Nicely constructed point to save it.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:20 (eleven years ago)
Lex - amazed you are not worried. His mind is not right today.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:21 (eleven years ago)
Broken with more UEs
30-30. Pulls it long.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:25 (eleven years ago)
1st crap game from Dimitrov.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:26 (eleven years ago)
It's best of five. If nothing changes in the third set, then it's time to worry, but the chances that he'll dig deep or Dimitrov will blink aren't low.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:26 (eleven years ago)
Breaks back!
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 2 July 2014 13:27 (eleven years ago)
eg, like there.
