Arantxa Rus v Kaia Kanepi

Just back from a family meal and see Kanepi is looking strong. She has come on leaps and bounds in recent years and will have way too much for Rus. Taking the 1.07 when leading 1-5*.

Kanepi serves out the set 1-6.

Rus holds for 1-0* in the second. Could have done with the early break there.

Here we go 0-30! ... 0-40 LOL I could stop a bus! ... Break 2*-0.

Another hold brings up 3-0* Kanepi better serve up a solid game this time round.

0-15 ... 0-30 that's better hit it hard and flat and Rus can't cope with the power. LOL or lob perfectly in to the corner for 0-40! ... Double Fault brings up the break 0-1*.
