I thought it was an exciting match with many great rallies and points in it. Both players had patches of play where they were not at their best. For the most part there was great creative shotmaking at the net, lobs etc. and some great striking zingers from Pavlyuchenkova. Enjoyed it greatly.

When Pavlyuchenkova is switched on, she is so much fun to watch. She sees the ball with such accuracy. Oh, consistency........
