I'm so glad I was able to find a stream for the Sam/Sveta match because Sammy played great. Served well (less power, more placement) and really moved Sveta all around the court. She also had some great opportunities to serve and volley and show how well she can read points. I do feel really bad for Sveta. that's a really tough second round draw. But Sam's win means a potential LA final rematch with Flavs in the next round. Fingers crossed!
Other than the huge scalping that took place earlier in the day when K-Bond knocked out Venus, it was business as usual for the ladies. The only other upset (and upsetting it was) was Dani giving up a 4-1 or 5-1 lead in the second set to Svedova and eventually losing 76 in the second set. Shvedova took a medical timeout and Dani just combusted. You know, like Dani tends to do.
