Must be a double-Ashes year, Lovely™ Laura gets compared to Cook in the Grauniad.

 

[Jono]

They'll skip Middle Sunday too

good point

 

[_Ed_]

Dominant start by Erakovic! Takes the first 6-1. So good to see her finally starting to live up to her potential.

 

[MW1304]

Robson's been **** tbh but Erakovic has put everything back in so far.

 

[Jono]

Erakovic fails to serve it out

 

[MW1304]

As is so often the case in the women's game, its going to be about who out-chokes the other.

Must be a double-Ashes year, Lovely™ Laura gets compared to Cook in the Grauniad.

Cook has similarly crap footwork but he moves a hell of a lot faster.

Anyway don't think anyone could question her temperament there.

 

[MW1304]

Lauraaa suck it Kiwis.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That was a choke and a half by the kiwi.

 

[Jono]

Yep, no other way to describe it than a choke.

Ferrer vs. Dolgopolov is getting interesting.

 

[_Ed_]

Uggghhh.

 

[Pothas]

So obviously no play on the best day of the year so far.

 

[MW1304]

And rain forecast for next week. Joke, really.

[MW1304]

Laura really is a much better player than this other girl, just not sure she'll mentally up to it.

 

[Jono]

Serena loses first set 2-6 to Lisicki. Could be interesting here.

 

[Jono]

Serena breaks as I say that.

FMD this having to phone up to bet bs in Australia drives me nuts. Took so long for BF phone dweebs to answer and Serena broke before I could make a bet.

Rudd's first act as PM should be to allow live sport betting over the comp.

 

[Jono]

Lisicki serving for it

 

[ajdude]

a regular sloane stephens

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow what a day. Laura just wasn't good enough today, will learn from it though.

As for Serena, unbelievable.
