Tyskie beer - main sponsor of afternoon report))
Well , I missed 1st matches, becoz tiket offices worked in Polish style)) Matches started at 10 am , and a cashier went to kiosk at 10.30/ And +50 minutes of standing in queue. After that I had to return to hotel, took some vodka and hot bath to prevent flu. Scmidlova's magic left uncovered )) But 3rd time lucky, I guess, against Cornet I will see her for sure
Camerin-Piter
Piter bravely fought, but unable to win at least a set. MEC was controlling most of key points, making Piter to risk , to attack, even when it was unnessecerily. In 2nd set Piter made a small turnarund from 1-2 to 4-2, but did not hold the momentum, having made a few errors ina row.
Craybas-Buryachok
Craybas as yesterday, as a day before yestesrday, played well, moved well, but today she was making a little bit more errors at medium tempo. Buryachok could not maintain even slow tempo and easily lost
Zakky-Pliskova Kr
Zakopalova spent some time to get use to indoor claycourt, as well as Plikova was making a lot of winners. Then Zakky felt more and more comfortable with her tricky shots, changing depth and angles, and Kristi started to loose points easier and easier.
Svitolina-Martic
The most intriguing match so far. Ukranian started well, making an early break, but could not convert setpoitn at 5-3. Martic felt her tension and became more agressive. But nevertheless Svitolina managed to win a set. In 2nd set Martic delt confidence with her serve, mixing it up very well, started rush to the net faster and smarter, did hit some good, tough-to-reach overheads.
3rd set was full of nerves fro Svitolina's side. She threw her raquet several times, and finally lost her confidence, making a couple of simple errors at key points
