[Drew.]

Looks like she is going to have to break her again

[Novo]

It's been a terrible tennis match but it's still kind of enjoyable watching them **** up on serve all the time

[Maia]

Laura could still have this if she just holds her serve

[Drew.]

Come on!!

[Novo]

A great hold

[Maia]

Omg ahhh

[Novo]

Time to take advantage of that dodgy Kvitova serve

[Black Dagger]

OMG she's held serve :lovedup:

[MTVN]

Laura is going to get broken here

[Black Dagger]

This bitch needs to stop ****ing screaming.

[Maia]

Would've been a real advantage if she broke again there, now I'm not confident at all :(

[Maia]

This bitch needs to stop ****ing screaming.

Keep thinking it's someone in the audience or something :joker:

[Black Dagger]

Keep thinking it's someone in the audience or something :joker:

I did at first, but this BBC commentator is 'screeching again, rather unpleasantly'

[Novo]

[Novo]

Right, a chance to level things up

[Novo]

[Novo]

Petra is actually having a proper breakdown by the looks of it, feel pretty bad for her

[Drew.]

Never doubt the power of Mollie it is a strong force

She just needs a good start in this set.

[Maia]

[Black Dagger]

Urgh, Petra.

[Novo]

[Maia]

No tiebreak though which is good, just needs to get another 2 games here

[Maia]

Oh god Petra has no mercy now...

[Maia]

Think it's all over

[Drew.]

[Novo]

Yeah, it's lights out now

[Maia]

:(

[Maia]

Laura had her chance but lost it, now it is all downhill from here

[MTVN]

Ah didn't realise they don't have tie breaks in the final set, that's annoying

[Maia]

Or you never know...

[Black Dagger]

Looks like it's going 7-7 hopefully.

[Black Dagger]

Or maybe not just yet.

[Novo]

7-7

[Black Dagger]

Ok maybe now.

JUST BREAK NOW PLZ.

[Maia]

Great :worship:

[Maia]

Drew :joker::joker:

[MTVN]

Kvitova is going to murder someone if she doesn't win this

[Maia]

It could go on for a while yet if Laura keeps not too far behind, she needs to find her chance and take it though

[Maia]

Kvitova is going to murder someone if she doesn't win this

:joker::joker: Does seem that way

[Maia]

Brilliant, just when you think it's all over and she has no chance of surviving she pulls out one of these :worship:

[Maia]

Oh I jinxed her a bit

[Black Dagger]

8-8.

Come on Laura, break it now xo

[Novo]

Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maia]

Hahahahaa level again!!!!

[Maia]

Same story again, 2 games Laura and you'll have this

[Black Dagger]

Same story, Laura closes the gap and then gives away a game again.

[Drew.]

i honestly dont think this will finish today

[Maia]

Wow that was close D:

[Maia]

These aces...

[Novo]

Laura isn't very good at reading Petra's second serves and they are predictable everytime

[Maia]

Yet again...

[Black Dagger]

Right, I'm tired and have a lesson in 15 minutes and I need lunch -hopefully comes back to the news of her winning-

[Maia]

Laura is going to have to pull a miracle out of the bag

[Drew.]

Right, I'm tired and have a lesson in 15 minutes and I need lunch -hopefully comes back to the news of her winning-

she will win, she will! :spin:

[Drew.]

Anddddd back we go..

[Maia]

Amazing

Now if you could play like that the next 2 games thanks xo

[Novo]

Kvitova's movement doesn't look as good now, probably getting tired

[Maia]

Stunning!!!!

[Drew.]

:o

[Maia]

Kvitova's movement doesn't look as good now, probably getting tired

We can hope

[Maia]

She's clawing this back <3

[MTVN]

Amazing :worship:

[Drew.]

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcr26sNmz31qdsf5go1_1280.jpg

[Maia]

She's amazing :love:

[Black Dagger]

She's just lovely <3.

'I should sleep rather than tweet' hehehe. :lovedup:

I want her to be my girlfriend.

[Novo]

Amazing win, Sloane will more then likely beat her in the next round in straight sets though

[MTVN]

Poor Laura getting booed by the horrible Aussies because they can't hear her

[Maia]

She's just lovely <3.

'I should sleep rather than tweet' hehehe. :lovedup:

I want her to be my girlfriend.

Omg ikr :lovedup:

[Black Dagger]

Amazing win, Sloane will more then likely beat her in the next round in straight sets though

Probably, but she's shown she can beat stronger players, we'll see what happens.

I'm just proud she had a strong enough comeback to win the game, was worried for her at many times, hopefully she plays much better in R3.

[Drew.]

she will be my girlfriend :love:

[Black Dagger]

Right, so after all this I have a lesson to go to, least I can go smiling <3.

[Novo]

Can't believe just how downhill Kvitova has gone since winning Wimbledon, she will probably be a one slam wonder

[Novo]

Right, bed time anyway

[Maia]

It is 1pm in the afternoon

[Maia]

Heather v Radwanska at midnight isn't it, love both so that is going to be terrible

[Drew.]

It is 1pm in the afternoon

your almost 1 hour out, no wonder your a terrible alarm clock!

[Black Dagger]

Heather v Radwanska at midnight isn't it, love both so that is going to be terrible

I think Rad will be slaying her unfortunately, but we'll see what occurs.

[Wildcat!]

One of the best auzzie open in a long time. Youngsters are really stepping up. Bout time.

[Maia]

your almost 1 hour out, no wonder your a terrible alarm clock!

Well it was bloody in the 1pm hour region :nono:

I think Rad will be slaying her unfortunately, but we'll see what occurs.

Most likely :sad: Although I can't totally complain either way because I love Raddy

[MTVN]

Yes hopefully Heather can knock out the awful Radwanska

[Maia]

Don't be dissing the lovely Agnieszka

[MTVN]

I just hate her so much :mad:

[IheartBB]

Robbo :worship: Exciting final set, despite the ****load of errors and double faults.

Hopefully Heather fairs better against Aga than she did at Wimbledon :sad:

[Black Dagger]

[MTVN]

Looks like a hooker

[Marc]

[Legend killer]

Wouldnottouch/10

[Novo]

Sorry Brad Pitt

[Novo]

Sorry Brad Pitt

[Locke.]

Right come on Watson, lets knock evil Raddy out

[Drew.]

that time of the night again, should be a bit more fun with the prediction game going on as well :)

[Black Dagger]

If Heather actually knocked Radiwanska out :lovedup:

[Maia]

Radwanska is going to get lots of love from me looks like Heather has more than enough

[Maia]

(that's coming from a Heather fan as well)

[Black Dagger]

Rad will slay her 2-0 tbh, but we can get behind her anyway.

[Novo]

I like Aga to much to even support a British person here

[Maia]

Feeling the same here Novo

[Locke.]

Two evil traitors

[MTVN]

Should be ashamed

[Black Dagger]

Good start.

[Novo]

Poor Aga

[Drew.]

Got a feeling this will be a long game

[Novo]

6-3 6-2 Aga

I have seen the future

[Maia]

Heather did well there

[Novo]

The Raddy Squat in full effect right there

[Maia]

Raddy taking poor old Heather to the park

[Drew.]

i take back what i said about it being a long game, sorry Heather

[Novo]

Love how Raddy just throws her whole body into offensive shots because she's so small

[Locke.]

The comeback is on, nothing to worry about here

[Novo]

Jesus christ.. that drop shot

[Black Dagger]

I'm liking how Heather has shown fight in this, I thought she would have been squashed, but I can see this set ending soon.

[Black Dagger]

Oh boo. (hopes when I go to sleep she is inspired and comes back to win 2-1)

[Novo]

Aga :worship:
