Ruse smokes a backhand return for 0-15, breaks back to 15, holds, and now Krejcikova must serve to stay in the match.
She has, though, been a little more consistent lately, and leads joint 4-3 with a break; Krejcikova is serving down 4-6 4-3 to Ruse; Dimitrov leads Hijikata 6-1 6-1 2-1; Krueger leads Lehecka 7-6 6-0; Niemeier leads Uchijima 6-4 4-0; Etcheverry leads Cerundolo 6-3 4-4, his second-set break retrieved; and Mertens is serving for the match leading Tomljanovic 6-3 5-2.Townsend powers a forehand on to her tootsies and punches the air when the riposte is netted.
Oh, and have a look: Kruger has broken Lehecka immediately in set two to lead 7-6 2-0, while we’re away on Ashe – without coverage on a normal Sky channel – Keys and Joint level at 1-1. Meantime on Armstrong, Badosa leads Townsend 6-3 2-3 on serve, but isn’t playing quite as well, and Ruse leads Krejcikova 6-4 2-2.

No doubt he also sits on chairs the wrong way around too.two big serves helping her do the necessary.
