I'll be looking for it later, it needs to be shown here.

The audacity of her to try something so blatant has really irritated me

[EDIT]

But I have to admit, it made me interested in this match

Say what you want, but these are two undeniably tough women. Still, I'm afraid we're going to end up with a 3rd set blowout.

Wondering if it was nervous tension rather than an intentional hindrance. She's been clenching and unclenching her teeth in between and during points. Has to be some sort of outlet, too blatant to be anything else.

BTW, Kirilenko now trying to outhit/outbash Sharapova which I don't think will work. She has to go back to moving her around the court like she was doing ealrier. I think she's flagging and will give up the 3rd set and match without so much as a wimper.

I've never seen Sharapova get so distraught before.

Sharapova crushing these balls now. She breaks and takes the second set 7-5. Those consecutive DFs were huge.

Sharapova takes the second set 7-5
