There were also a few points in the 3rd set where he came in behind some first serves that were ripe for passing shots. I do that too when I'm tired and it typically goes as bad for me as it did for him last night.

Whenever I see discussions of best of five WTA matches, the first thing that comes to mind for me is having to endure 5 sets of her grunting.
