Navarro vs Pironkova

most definitely

go go go pironkobeast

every wta match starts with few breaks...

pironkova plays the low bounce on grass v intelligently

yeah, she's a natural born garsscourter deffo

4-0 and here we go now

alsy typical wta stuff...

tsvety

not so good now...

yeah but she can still win this set if she holds

she looks very unconfident now...

wow

what a rally!!!

and her confidence magically returned after she faced 3 BPs

no fear now

what a fighter

and back to mug mode again.. amazing ffs

pironko in 2 incoming

another break ahead

death smash

pironko is choking

lucky piro. very lucky :))

6-4 Carla coming now

yep.

pironko is cracking under pressure

sp csn..

set csn.

3rd set should be epic... more choking ahead

But Carla to have the better nerves and take it 7-5

pironkova 2nd serve 4/15 26%. If she can up that again she will win. Should be close but not if tsvety serves well

carla not looked great. you get the feeling she would rather be on ice than grass (at least she'd be able to slide!), but tsvet let her off the hook big time - she's playing well when she plays freely and goes for her shots but gets cagey at important times. doesn't bode well for her in final set...

if piro can find her level, she wins this match.

big if

as you say, CSN has better composure.. could be the deciding factor

pironko needs to play like that all the time to win.

hard to hit though CSN

chance here though from 40-0

1st game of final set have to be a break always

bp lol

CSN getting a bit frustrated there, whacking the ball against the advertisement board

40-0 to broken lol

but can piro capitalise and hold

piro showing her class there. but it's wta.... and another factor.. rain might be arriving

fecking raining

LOL csn was sub 1.5 there without even holding

That's better..... if she can manage to take a 3-0 lead can't see her fecking it up.

Again though, its a big if

Double break please Piro!

bollox

she was getting the upper hand then too ffs

think that's good for piro, tbh

You reckon? Hope so

piro smashed her off the court fresh..

it went 4-0 before CSN held her serve..

True..... wonder how long this delays gonna be......

like I said before, Piro has superior grass court tennis to CSN. CSN doesn't give up though.. so if Piro has a mental lapse she jumps on it. That's why I think that break favours Piro

yeah, to break the pattern. i can see pironko being broken while serving for match if no break

disco dasco v lopez just started

pironko will drift a few ticks in a while, can't really go lower

nando will come back i guess

lopez often chokes when he's in front

just like in his match vs. cilic recently

does anyone know when this match will be resumed?

weather really sux there from the stream :(

It's not looking good

covers are shining, crowd is filling the stands slowly, cant hear any rain from the stream, surely some news should come out in the next 30mins

ground staff look theyre working on something

covers are off, preparing the court now, the players could be back on court at 3:30pm GMT+1

players on court.

should begin in few minutes

piro looks finished :)

knew the break would f**k her up

this mugfest will never end ffs :(

No way piro holds now

shouldnt had cashed out during rain delay

missed the end of this since delay. did pironko bottle it?

she lost 4 games in a row to 4-2 then she rised to 4-4 and didnt hold to stay in the match, a mug fest

FFS. break was no help to her then
