Is hereby awarded the choke award for the day...
Granted Mirza played pretty well last year on American hardcourts and surely played well today, but still a match that Kata should have won. First she left her serve at home, serving 58% until late in the match when she served in the 80s yesterday. 7 double faults were also on the agenda. But she was all set to win the second set and take the match to three where she has a much better 3 set match record this year than Mirza. But, nothing doing, serving for the second at 5-4 she wins not one point, loses it at love... Goes down 4-0 in the tie-break and it was all over.....
