0-30 when serving for the set (5-3)

:(

EDIT: Argh! She fought back from 0-40 down only to lose the game anyway.

5-4 up :S

Oh dear... Daniela serving at *0-40 following a double-fault. I thought this might happen. If only she had taken one of those set point opportunities at *2-5.

Unbelievably, Daniela saves all three break points! But Alona now has a fourth chance at *40-A.
Alona breaks :roll: and the set is back on serve.

I'm only just tuning in now. It'll be pretty tough for Daniela to stomach losing this opening set, if she does. All things considered....

Zvonareva has just beaten Kleybanova in a tight three-set affair, so it will be the Russian number 4 against the winner of Daniela versus Alona, in the third round.

Alona is winning more points on her second serve. Sigh.

EDIT: Daniela has 3 set points on Alona's serve.

EDIT1: As always. Did it the hard way. She's taken the first 7-5

To be fair to Daniela it could be Alona who is now playing super tennis and Daniela may have just let her foot off the gas slightly. Alona might be swinging loosely and making lots of winners that she wasn't making during the latter stages of the first set when things were alot tenser.
