Rough crowd on Twitter tonight...


@enricomariarivaRT @Pennettafan: Franny through as Pervsak retires! Must have wrenched her back picking up the large cheque she got from Kazakhstan

Peer was down 4-1 and 2 break points before holding, and then breaking twice and holding again to go up 5-4 trying to serve it out. Petko broke back, Peer then breaks again to serve for the set again at 6-5. Petko breaks again and wins the tiebreak easily 7-2 as Peer lost all four points in the TB on her own serve. Ah, it is great to have the WTA back again

[Evsltkzl]

Shaky fiirst match for Tomic. He squandered numerous MPs before Benneteau gave away the final two points on an overhead miss into the net and a DF.
