Vandeweghe double faults to 5-6 in the 1st set tiebreak. Take the set point Maria.

Whew. Maria wins the 1st set tiebreak 7-5 from 0-2 to 2-2 to 2-5. :) Stay focused Maria. The match is 1 hour 10 minutes long.

Maria was down 5-3 1st set.

Actually the double-hit call was borderline, since the rule states that unintentional doublehits are allowed. It happened so fast that I don't think it was on purpose. But her momentum made it look like she had a second push at the ball. I think that was accidental. It's a judgment call though, and the umpire's decision is final, so not much anyone can do about that. Anytime you doublehit you're at the mercy of the umpire's judgment.

Coco didn't really lose that set because of that one call anyway. She lost because she played poorly after being 5-2 up in the tb, and also when she served for the set.

Looks like Kiri is safe now, the momentum is firmly in her favour and Coco has gone off the boil, although this is the best Coco has ever done in a GS maindraw singles match.

Kiri has definitely been too passive. Her serving has no aggression.
