it was once more a long and a tough one!! I made it in the end and that’s what I want at the moment. somehow to find a way to be the winner!! and I did it!! we don’t have to talk about the conditions here…it is too hard but it’s for everyone..u need a lot of mental strength if u wanna go far in this tournament. it was raining as every afternoon and it happened when i was 2-0 up with serving, 1st set. we stopped less than 10 min but enough to be cold, by the rules you can’t have a warm up on court, so it was a bit strange to start straight. I managed to win the set 6-2, Sania was missing a bit and she didn’t like my mixed game. 2nd set I started with a bad game, Sania was hitting the ball so clean suddenly and so many winners from each position she was. I lost 8-1 games and all this…very fast. accept that I lost them fast, I took so many pictures too:-( she was hitting full speed!! 3rd set I was 0-2 down and she was serving. it was a close game, went my way and I was totally back in the game. 5-3 up in the 3rd set, she was serving 15-40 so I had 2 match points. i lost them both, it was a very very long game with a few game points for her and back to deuce. in the end of this game she made 2 aces in a row. 5-4 up and serving for the match. and?? I was serving so solid, i went up 40-15. so?? 2 more match points. again very long points both of them, played both very good!! in the end I made the 5th one and too happy to go through!! of course a bit tired after but I had my cool down with bike and stretching, short massage too!! tomorrow is a new day but I am not on the schedule, so good somehow to get my energy back!! i will have practice in the morning and chill out in the afternoon with some movies probably and reading!! take care and I will be back to you soon, Eleni
