This tiebreak ridiculous. Zakopalova led 5-1, pegged back to 5-5. Had 6*-5 then lost both points on serve. Then won the 2 points on Lepchenko's serve and had another set point at 8*-7 and didn't take it, and now 8-8.

Finally set Zakopalova 10-8 in tiebreak.

Is there anybody else coming back from a long Fed Cup weekend, because those that did seem to be struggling.
|

By:
Another retirement anyway. This one in my favour though.

I think the close TB broke her heart.

Other Fed Cupers are doing OK - Safarova, Oprandi...

Others had far easier weekends than others mouse trap though. Safarova played 1 match on Saturday and won in straights. Oprandi was playing Pironkova who was also in Fed Cup action. Lepchenko invested a lot of energy into 7 sets, and will have been emotionally shattered after winning both singles matches but losing the tie.

Makarova played 2 matches over the weekend and is already back from the court in her hotel room waiting for her next round opponent.
I was just responding to your post - I think that the Fed Cup plays only minimal role (yes, it should be taken into account but it's not the most important part of the equation). |

By:
Also, I don't think Lepchenko would have retired after winning the TB. And it was very close, as you well know, both had equal chances.
|
|
By:
But clearly she had nothing left for the fight at all after losing set 1. That has to be as a result of the Fed Cup weekend.
