Great fight from her in that second set. She faced being down two breaks and reeled off 5 straight games.

Bianca takes a spill, but she's okay (aside from getting covered in clay).

Wow, great game from Bianca and she breaks and is serving at 2-1 in set 3.

Edit: Consolidates the break. Bianca has won 8 of the last 9 games.

Big hold just now by Bianca saving multiple break points.

I'm just going to say that it's just a shame this is an opening round match, the quality of this match is semi-final or final level.

Also, I know it was late in the deciding game, but pretty bad form by Azarenka not to acknowledge that very lucky service return drop shot winner. When you combine that with all the whining she did over close line calls that weren't really all that close, really happy that Bianca won.

Djokovic tomorrow so 0-4. There's only one night match and I guess Amazon doesn't want to risk it being an hour.

She still has to have maybe the most annoying grunt on the WTA.

Takes the opening set 6-2. Who is this guy, no crazy shots or emotional outbursts, just solid and smooth thus far.
