BNP PARIBAS OPEN (6 844 139 USD, HARD COURT), DOUBLES, SEMIFINAL |
Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Coco Vandeweghe (USA)-Tímea Babos, Yaroslava Shvedova (Hungarian, Kazakh, 3), 2:6, 6:4, 10-4 |
The 32-minute first set also has great battle, but Timi and her partner successfully solved almost every important situation.
The third seed Hungarian-Kazakh duo won twice the opponent’s service game. In the opening game Timi and Slava broke the US-pair to 40 after 0-40, then to 15 after 4:2. In the second game they saved two break points.
At the end of the opening act, at 5:2 the Hungarian-Kazakh duo hold their service game to 40.
In the 38-minute second act, the last year’s double Grand Slam Champion (with Lucie Safarova) Mattek-Sands and her new partner, Coco Vandeweghe served much better. They faced no break point and it was very important.
The US-pair had three break points at 4:3, then they won the opponent’s service game after 5:4. Timi and Shvedova led 30-0 in this game...
So come the decisive tie-break. Unfortunately, only the first part was exciting...
Timi and Shvedova came back from 0-2 and led 3-2 with a break. But then they lost two service points, and the opponent led 5-3. The 3rd seed pair broke back, but then came the decisive part. Mattek-Sands and Vandeweghe won five rallies in a row, three times as a receiver. So they advanced to the final of the BNP Paribas Open.
