Kristyna just took the first set over Puig.
*2-3 in the 2nd set. It's really a serve competition at the moment, there has been just one BP in the whole match. Puig is (maybe not that surprising) the dominant player when they actually do play a rally, but Kristyna does a good job so far of preventing that as often as possible. I think her leg might still be bothering her a bit, she's not moving too well.
*3-4.
Ugh, Puig suddenly reading her serve well..30-30.
Pheeew, fantastic return by Puig but then an UE. 40-30.
These returns are killing me. Deuce.
BP
And broken. Going 3.
Brainfart on my part, Puig still has to serve it out.
Kristyna gets to Deuce with a great return.
Another one, BP!
UE Puig

Not a good return game, 3 bad returns and on the 4th she hits a good one but immediately shanks a forehand. *5-6
Insane servebottery.
Tiebreak
She's hit 5 aces with her last 7 serves. She needs it though, her groundstrokes are ... not good at the moment. 2-2*
Puig double faults, 4 more great serves Kristyna! *3-2
Very loose return by Puig, *4-2
Service Winner! 5-2*
A return point now would be huge.
Ace Puig. 5-3*
UE PUIG! 3 MP for Krisytina!
She has a putaway at the net and plays a dropshit.
She choked both her service points.
6-6.....
*6-7.
Horrible end to the set. Going 3 and I don't wanna watch anymore.
I just recovered from the disappointment only to see her not use a 0-30 on Puig's serve. Her serve is back to where it was before she was close to winning though. 3-2*
2 BP...
I don't really see a way for her to win this match with her nerves. Would need Puig to help her, but Puig has been completely error-free when she is with her back to the wall. *3-3
4-3*
30-30 on Puig's serve again...
Kristyna drives a 2nd serve return 5m wide.
*4-4
The serve keeps working so far. 5-4* We need Puig errors.
We're not getting them, instead Kris is missing basic shots. *5-5
Phew. Her service games are getting tense, she has basically just her serve and prayer left. But 6-5*
No chances. Needs Puig DFs. *6-6

Well saved. She can play when she doesn't think she could win this.
And then a terrible UE.
She lost. In the most heartbreaking way imaginable.
