WXL is backpedalling to take a flick serve, and still gets enough power on her smash to force the error in return.
YY is unbelievably quick to make returns of serve, she does it barely after the bird has crossed the net! BYX appears to be well below her best, no power on any strokes at all... maybe the intimidation is working!
....and the bullying comes to an abrupt end. BYX/ZQX retreat to lick their wounds, and vow to return to fight another day. The guys in orange lope off the screen, smugly satisfied with their work for the day.
stopstream for the other court is still not up... Slap! That's because there ain't no other court, cobalt!
WYH is in a mean old mood today... LXR gives as good as she gets though. At least we know game 1 will be all-out...
super net exchange ends when LXR pounces on one; but WYH gets it back and LXR runs back but can't control the desperate return!
LXR leads by a solitary point at the first interval. WYH isn't looking back towards her corner anymore! Good sign!!!
