I have to say the this was a case of Dechy losing the match rather than Ivanovic winning it. Dechy played well while Ivanovic barely managed to get through, thanks to that lucky netcord. I don’t think she is a good contender for the title like what many people say. It was a near double-(top-ranked)Serbian defeat, that would have been great!!!

Hi Will,

I didn’t get to see the whole match, but the part I saw was fairly high quality. It was a gutsy performance by Dechy, but Ivanovic was simply too good, especially toward the end of the third set.

On the one hand, I was concerned that Ivanovic had to battle that hard against a player barely in the Top 100, but I was impressed by how she held her nerves in check.

The Ivanovic who choked at the French Open last season is clearly buried in the past.

Was this a high quality match? I had to follow live scoring. Stupid job!
