I understand that but you are talking about the second best womens tennis player in the world at the moment being hammered in the first, wins the second and then humiliated in the third, just a very wierd result.
Has Azarenka got some Indian bookie friends?

a lot of the time womans tennis can do that a little more than mens tennis, because they dont have big serves that can get them multiple free points and get them 2/3/4 games a set without trying.

so if you get momentum it is hard to stop.

That did cross my mind, it does seem that the women cant stop a run as easily as the blokes.

Good win to Rafa, now to hope Murray and Federer beat the hell out of each other in a marathon 5 setter

Federer up two sets to none, on serve in the 3rd. Would be great to see Murray completely blown off the court

Yeah, I just switched over from the BBL and was wondering at which point did Murray throw in the towel.

Hope you are correct.
Rafa just has a mental hold over Federer, Federer looked defeated the minute he walked out tonight, just didnt show his normal confidence.
Rafa has an unbelievable record against him
