Karman missed a set point opportunity amongst a number of other BPs in previous games. 5-games all, KKT on serve. The Japanese southpaw is not giving away points easily.
KKT got broken in the important game of the match. Muramatsu serving for the match @6-5. KKT took a medical timeout in the second set.
Karman breaks Muramatsu to level it all at 6 games. Second set TB.

Overall poor quality tennis from KKT. Not much control on serve & shots. Can't avoid those DFs too. Her ranking will drop and she will find her right place in the WTA ranking list.

Unlike Saniapower, I am not negative about Karman. Clearly she is a work in progress but I feel that she will get better with time and it is amazing that she is already reached such a high level.

Head to head between Ankita and Liu is 1-1 with Liu winning easily the match in 2015 but Ankita beating her in 3 sets last year at 60K in Luan where Ankita went on to reach the final.
So, a tough match in the offing.

Surprisingly tough matchup in the first round of a $25K tournament. The upside to winning will be an easier match in the next round, hopefully...

Ankita has an unkind draw in doubles as well.

The thing that I love most about Ankita is that she won't lose a match and has to be beaten. She clawed her way back from 15-40 to go up a break in the third set. It is 3-2 with Ankita to serve in the decider.

Yes, Ankita is a fighter to the core. She looked down and out at 16 14 down. But, here she is now fighting neck and neck in the third set. Now leading 4-3 in the third with her serve to come. In third set too she was initially down 0-2. Almost every game in this third set has gone to deuce though. So, it is a very close match.

Oh, just as I said that Ankita got broken and it is level at 4-4 in the third set.
Liu holds at 15. Tide has changes again with Ankita losing 3 straight games from 4-2 up in the third. Now, she has a difficult task to hold to stay in the match.
Ok, Ankita holds at 15 to halt the game winning streak by Liu and levels it at 5-5 .
And she break Liu at love to now take a 6-5 lead and has a chance to serve for the match. Not easy especially in womens matches.
Ankita had a match at 40-30 was taken to deuce but won the next 2 points to win the match.
Excellent comeback from 1-6, 1-4 down by Ankita to win this against a higher ranked Chinese.
