phew:eek:

Nastya wins point with a broken string with 3-4 shots played with it :D

Go Anastasia!:bounce:

Fantastic point for Anastasia with broken strings. :D

German commentator thinks her short balls were intentional. :rolleyes:

Hurley! You skank!

MGM! MGM! MGM!

Hmmm, has MGM ever played Grande? MGM-Grande! Ha! ;)

Allllezzzzz Anaaassstaaasssiiiaaaaa :D

MGM has too lttle variety. She always plays left-right-left-right etc., so Anastasia can run everything down, standing way behind the baseline. A drop-shot or wrong-footing her would do wonders.

MGM holds finally 3-1 :(
Nastya had a BP but tamely put it into net :(

Dammit Nastya, get the break next game :mad:

MGM served out very confidently again. Once she started hitting the lines after the first set whitewash, her etra power and steadiness told. Anastasia was very up and down.

Seems that that old "Curse of the 6-0 first set" works!

WOW!

Congrats MGM ... fantastic win :)

pfff nastya..... such a wasted opportunity :mad: :mad:

I saw this match on TV, and it was great entertainment! I'll have to follow MGM more in the future - I really liked watching her play! :) Commiserations to Nastya and her fans - it was a tough match to lose...

Good luck to MGM for the rest of the Swisscom! :D

Nastya :( :sad:

Nastya :o
Jen :o
Iva :o
Chanda :o
Maggie :o
Fortunately I am not in Zurich watching it live!!! But too bad for Nastya

Great win MGM!! (Even though I had to watch the end at Eurosport as Swiss TV cut off the end for football!!!)

Keep it up!
Good luck against Juju!! You can beat her as well!!
