Tie-break now.

Second now. I rate it hey (more than the arts degree) - having an old man in the profession helps, too.

What year are you in?

Meanwhile, Stosur looks like she's serving the best she has all match.

5th year Law/Commerce double. Finish half-way through next year.

What uni you at? I know a few guys on the LSS' at Perth Law Schools.

Svetlana will be tested now, surely she's tired after what will now be 9 sets in 3 matches.

Haha, tbf never denied Svetlana is physically tough. Seen her play before the Aust Open clearly sick, and still dominate.

Just reckon that considering all the things people hate about women's tennis in this thread, surely she epitomises it (i.e. body like a tank, relies on power, mentally piss weak, pretty unattractive etc.).

Not disputing that. Just feel people are too quick to label every single error she does as a choke. No one ever mentioned that when Nadal gave up five of six break points against Söderling, for example.

Not great to come up to the net in a breaker when you're not that kind of player, though. *sigh*

Understand where you're coming from, but its not the whole error which is the choke, its the way she structures her points when the match is there to be one (i.e. goes for the shot too early, can't get her first serve in etc.).

Also, Nadal clearly has a history of winning clutch points, whereas there are numerous examples of Kuznetsova choking when they are there to be won. You can say Nadal choked in that match if you like, but you can't call him a choker.

Stosur also has a history of losing matches when she should have won them, but she's played differently the whole tournament.
