An odd come from behindish win for Masha over Ai. She was down 4-1 in the first before reeling off six straight games to take it. Then she was up in the second before Ai came back to force a tiebreak, which Ai won. Then Masha came back to win the third 6-1. Man, if people thought Masha's matches were boring before, they sure aren't now.
No surprises in Stanford yet. A-Rad continued her Sorana domination with a bagelstick. It took Nads three tough sets to move on past dubs partner Bethanie. And Lena dusted AKO 1 and 4.
Love means never having to say you're sorry, Nads. But for sears, you should probably say sorry.
