Just when I'd given up on Katie, she has a run, go figure. Anyone have some details on what happened here? Katie's style is to return safely and as the rally progresses, push those returns out toward the edges. So I could see her either outlasting VJK or finding the eventual winner in rallies. What actually happened? (off to work, more research later)

I watched it, but had two other matches overlapping so couldn't give it my full attention. Volynets landed 89% of first serves in play, and won five of her six second serves. I won't say that VJK gave up, but she certainly got more and more ragged as the match progressed, and was spraying errors everywhere by the end.

Somebody has been uploading all the matches to YouTube - here's the link to this one.
