IIndian Well : Angelique def Elena Vesnina 7-5, 6-2

It was a weird match – at first, Angie was sharp enough, and Vernina was looking sometimes sure, other times not too sure of her game, and the German was taking advantage of it.  Then, Wim got on court and exchanged some words with Angie – wasn’t she leading 4-0? The next thing we know, it is 4-5  Vesnina serving for the set, Angie had lost her edge and Vesnina a had found little bit of hers.

However, this set was far from over, and despite only 42% of her first serve in, Angie managed to win the point when it mattered – and how much it mattered when she hits 2 ace to get the lead at 6-5 after a million deuces? It matter a bunch!  It was obvious that the momentun was back on Angie’s side.  A little hip cup when she served for the match at 5-1, but she broke back to claim the victory.



Angie will meet the qualifier Wang after a well deserved day off.
