A number of crazy dog fight matches in Dubai, as Caro came back from being down 5-1 in the second to beat Domi (C Note fistpump), JJ had to fight off Aravane in three, and Nails withstood MJMS. Then again, Bepa's off baking bagels again.
Do they have bagels in Dubai? Seems like...they wouldn't....
And in Memphis, Mels, the #2 seed (weird) beat Alexa Glatch and holy shit, Nikki V won a WTA match. Get the woman all the buttermilk biscuits she requires.
I have to say, I'm really looking forward to a Pova/Mels final in Memphis. Don't fuck that up for me, ladies.
