Tokyo 2r: (2) Martina Hingis def. (Q) Nicole Pratt 6-1 7-5

How I hate Martina's inability to convert match points. :(

Great fight Nicole!

Martina just too good :)

:bounce: Martina

Nicole took six games? Wow that's three times more than what most posters thought :o

Had us scared there in the end, but a win is a win ... Her service stats are quite impressive ... Best of luck in the next round babe!

Interesting second set.... I wonder if she was trying to become more aggressive there but could not convert....

Stats?

Nicole made her work for it in second set. next up is winner of Stosur vs Na Li

I predicted a 7-5 6-1 win to Hingis :bounce:
Close enough ;)

stumbled a little in the second, but she wins.

good effort from nicole, she took it right up to her in that second set.

well done martina :bounce: keep it going :D

nicole really gave her a scared in the 2nd set, well done to her :yeah:

:woohoo:

i expected Martina to win ,but second set was a little more closer than i expected ! ;)

:banana:

Congrats Martina, although the second set probably could have been better

Good luck next round :bounce:

Good effort Nicoletta ;)

Well done Martina but I am a little bit disappointed with the score. She should have won more easily!! ;)
Come on Martina step up your game for the next round!!!;)

nice work nicole didnt expect it to be that close in the second

Wow, Pratt really is a top 50 player! Good on her, I gave her 3 games at most

Easy thing Martina :D

Scores don't matter in the early rounds, good chance to experiment with B and C strategies. She got the win thats all matters..

Well done Martina it should have been easier though

As i predicted, the tentative /passive Hingis would lose 6 games :lol:

Martina :banana: :worship:

Prattasaurus :sad:

Martina :woohoo:

Good win Martina, I'm guessing Nicole played pretty well on the fast surface and you felt like giving her self-esteem a boost in the second set. ;) Keep it up against Na next round.

:hearts::cool: nice..:cool: :hearts:

Well Done....

A wins a win, good luck in the quarters Marti.

Good win Martina, I'm guessing Nicole played pretty well on the fast surface and you felt like giving her self-esteem a boost in the second set. ;) Keep it up against Na next round.

Na has to beat Stosur first. (GO NA!!)

Well played Marti :)

Slightly worrying for a bit there but it's a win and I'm happy :D

Pratty so close :sad:

Well done Martina :yeah:

:yeah:

Pratty :hug:

Good stuff from Martina! But how did ya let Pratt get so close in 2nd set!

Good win nevertheless for Martina!

Martina said she is trying to be more aggressive so perhaps she had a few more errors in the 2nd set?

Hingis served 2 aces in her opening service game :eek:
It was great! Well done Martina! Keep improving, :hearts:

great mariti, keep attacking in your next matches,:D

this is pratt playing like top 50:eek: :yeah:

Yay! Congrats Marti :bounce:

Grerat feat for Pratt, 6 games against Hingis, definetly playing like a top 50!
