Match of the tournament.
From 4-3 for Justine in the second set on, this was top class tennis, the rallies were hard, accurate and endless! Anastasia led 5-1 in the third set, then Justine came back to 5-5 and Anastasia started crying.
The crowd was packed and was going crazy, if Justine needed ANY test to know where she is at, this was it, Anastasia played smart and Justine had to give ALL during 2h45.
I wonder if the Justine will have enough energy left for the final and Anastasia for the bronze medal match...
Congrats to both ladies.
Justine is just incredible. My hands are shaking. It's amazing to see someone put all of their heart and soul and guts into their sport. I feel sorry for the people who dislike her, you 're missing out on so many glorious matches, but that's not my problem.
It was an amazing match. Justine never gave up... I really wonder if she has the energy tomorrow. Justine made a lot of UEs, but when it mattered, she played so well... Anastasia never had a mp.
I should add that I felt so sorry for Myskina when she started crying .
Also I don't think I've ever seen Justine smile at such a crucial stage in the match, she was clearly relaxed and perhaps that helped her come through it, even at 5-1.
