Donna led 3-0* in the 1st, proceeded to lose the next 3 service games. Alize led 3-0* 15-0 in the 2nd, had BP at 2*-3 when Donna had recovered the break, held easily the following two service games but got broken at deuce at 5-5*.

Exchanged breaks in the 1st two games than Alize got broken from 40*-0 at 2-2* in the 3rd , Donna broke a last time at 5-3* to seal the match.

The dream is over.
Thank you Alize for having us dreaming for a while.

Checked the score early in the second and was really impressed that Alizé was winning given Donna seems to be showing signs of improvement. Alas not to be for her. Would be great if Donna could qualify and maybe we could officially declare the slump over.

How do you win nine games in a row but still lose the match?

Conversely, it can't be easy to win a match when you've lost nine games in row. That doesn't happen very often.

Congrats to Donna. Very well fought. Commiserations to Alize. Can't be nice losing from that position.

I think this is a textbook case of an inferior player with a mental edge over a stronger opponent. this might be due to several reasons; Donna mating with an alpha male in the men's tour hence having that protection halo that make her feel untouchable by other females.

Good job, Don. Get rid of the posers.

Lim has better anticipation, retrieving abilities, footwork and a better IQ game than Donna. Donna is slightly better as a ball striker so in the end Lim is the more complete player of the too.
