Roland Garros 2011 Day 5: Na Li v Soler-Espinosa

The torment that is the queuing system for the toilets, and then food, meant we missed the first set and the start of the 2nd for this match. But I did nab two of the hot chocolate reusable cups that will be coming home with me! The Nespresso ones aren't as nice this year but I may well nab a couple of those too!!

Waiting at the foot of the stairs FOR AN AGE and bumping into my friend who had by now left our lofty perch up in the gods in the corner of Lenglen ... She told us that the match had been a touch soporific and we were waiting for what felt like an eternity to come up.

Then I had to chivvy my poor mother up the flight of steps as quickly as possible! I fear this might be her last trip out here as it's really getting tough with all the walking (if not running) that has to be done to get from place to place.

There was a lot of slugging rallies, long - which would explain why we were waiting for ever at the stairs.



The Spanish player was giving as good as she got; at one stage there was a shot of Li's face after a ripped winner which was priceless - all "she hit THAT?"



The pace seemed to pick up a bit for the third, but a decisive break by Na early gave her a lead that was just out of reach for the Spaniard.
