Here we go again. Ivanovic begins by swinging hard, a cross-court forehand flashing past Safarova. 0-15. Is it happening again? Maybe not, you know. Soon it’s 30-15, two Ivanovic errors edging Safarova closer to the finishing line. Then Safarova steps into a backhand and wellies it past Ivanovic to earn two more match points! Her first serve is a let. She’ll have another go. It’s in, they rally, Safarova knocks a forehand long. That’s another one in the bin. But she has one more. She sends a serve out wide. Ivanovic’s return is inviting. Safarova opens up her body, takes her time and then bashes a forehand into the opposite corner!
