Well, my prediction for a Henin making it to the finals isn't coming true.
Allez Bitch loses to Dulko (6-2, 1-6, 6-4), and the stats reveal the key to the match.
Henin Dulko Aces 1 1 DF 4 4 1st Serve % 43 67 1st Serve % Pts Won 9/12 (75%) 12/22 (55%) 2nd Serve % Pts Won 4/16 (25%) 5/11 (45%) Break Points Saved 0/3 (0%) 2/4 (50%) 1st Return % Pts Won 10/22 (45%) 3/12 (25%) 2nd Return % Pts Won 6/11 (55%) 12/16 (75%) Break Points Won 2/4 (50%) 3/3 (100%) Total Service Points Won 13/28 (46%) 17/33 (52%) Total Return Points Won 16/33 (48%) 15/28 (54%) Total Points Won 29/61 (48%) 32/61 (52%)
Kudos to Dulko for taking advantage of her opportunities, and tough loss for Allez Bitch as a 2 point differential made all the difference. Clearly, her serve is still a work in progress as her 1st serve percentage was atrocious. In all fairness to her, she changed her serve from a platform stance to a pinpoint stance, and to stick to a change in your strokes in match situations takes awhile. That didn't stop her from playing in the Hit for Haiti, where she showed great touch in winning doubles with Navratilova.
In other news, Nails lost to Baltacha [7-6 (6) 2-6 7-6 (7)]; Sunshine survives a close one from gamer Vania King [5-7 6-2 6-4].
