Has she cut her cheek or is she just paying homage to Nelly?

😂 I forgot about Nelly.

She also had the plaster playing doubles last week, have no idea why though.

Harmony Tan just using the same blue print of Roberta Vinci who stopped the Serena Slam in 2015. Move her back and fore with spin.  Really entertaining match so far, Serena just doesn’t play often enough to blow people away without having periods of constant errors.

Much more consistent from Serena this set, coming forward a lot more to finish points quicker.  Tan will need to start hitting more consistent passing shots or pinpoint lobs to keep her back.

The different conditions under the roof really helping Serena as well.  Fully expect her to get the win now, but if she has another patch of errors as she tires Tan will need to take full advantage.

I like Serena Williams but that celebration was like when Rangers fans invaded the pitch after beating Partick Thistle.  Calm down eh.  
Think she though that was it won when she broke to go 5-4 up. Now she is 6-5 down and serving to get the match into a tiebreak.

What an incredible match.  Some special shots from both players, quality went up and up.  Serena just running out of gas in the end.

Is the wee girl in Tan’s box her wee sister or daughter?  She’s being giving it laldy all match 😃

Williams is looking her age now.  Half a step slower and her shots clearly have less power.  No matches for ages won't have helped either.

I think if Murray could have picked a seeded player to face in the second round, he'd have picked Isner, this is a great draw. He's the archetypal big serving clogger, the kind of player Murray has mopped up with ease with his returning game throughout his career. They've played eight times previously, and Murray has won the lot. And of course Isner is 37, two years older than Andy, this is no improving up and comer. If Murray can stay fit he will surely win this.

7-6 , 7-5, 6-7, 6-1.
