Wimbledon 2010 Day 2: Hantuchova v King

The fireman called it right – straight after the match – they announced that they would put Dani and Vani (hee) on. My friends had texted from Centre that as well has having had to put up with Ree and Larcher De Brito... they now had Azarenka! Heheh!


All holds all round – these two were pretty evenly matched so this was quite possibly going to be a 3-setter/continuation.






I have been fixated with Dani’s cricked-neck serving action since the... ummm AO or USO semi against Ana (remember squeaky-shoe-gate anyone?)- she's like the Paula Radcliffe of tennis with that weird action - you think it's got to be bad for her - but I guess she's always done it...
So I contented myself with trying to capture that in all it’s glory for ya!



There was no yielding from either – both playing very solidly and slugging away from the baseline – but eventually Dani was broken at 5-5.
However – in serving for the set Vania choked big time, getting herself broken back to love.
Into the TB and first set to Dani... and we were done for the night.




And just as well too... as the 2nd set also went to a TB (King) and the match was suspended at that point!
Day off – attempt to try for returns, and bloggeroo!
Will be back for 3 continuous days – so previews will be next up and the blogs will come on the Sunday, most likely :-)
