Alicia Molik

[OldSchool]

Big struggle for the 1st game of the 2nd set but she came through.
Looks good so far just needs to keep hitting them the same for the next few games and I think Williams could crack.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

she is a set and 2-1 up

playing very well atmo

GO ALICIA!!!!

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Williams is getting stronger as the game goes on which is a bit worrying.
Molik though is still looking good, hitting some great winners, I think she can do this.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

3-2 still on serve

and i also think she can

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Break point for Alicia at 3-2 hope she can get it.

Edit: she didnt

Still looking the goods though, Williams for mine is making too many unforced errors.
Fingers crossed.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

nope 3 all

EDIT: Venus had 2 break points and lost them

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Impressive stuff from Alicia in that game.
She was down 2 break points but played 3 great points to eventually win the game.

I would like to see her increase her 1st serve percentages but so far so good, pressure is all on Venus.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

been too close for comfort - but playes a great rally

15 all

 

[roostersgal4eva]

now that's mre like it - ACE...
..Adv Molik...

OH! WAHT A SHOT!!!

5-4 Alicia

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Venus keeps applying the pressure, but Molik continually comes up with the answers. That point to win the game was outstanding. She looks really focused and isnt letting the occasion get to her, some great pressure serves which I like.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Unlucky with that call, looked out to me with the naked eye and hawk eye confirmed it.

5-5 on serve.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

6-5 Molik

Venus must hold erve to stay in the match

winner to play Davenport

Go for broke Alicia!!!!!!!

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

6-5 Alicia

Hopefully Venus chokes under the constant pressure

 

[roostersgal4eva]

6-5 Alicia

Hopefully Venus chokes under the constant pressure

not likley...

tiebreak

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

going to a Tie Breaker...should be interesting, hopefully Alicia's superior serving will do it for her.

Great start with an ace!

1-0 Alicia

 

[NikkiNoo]

cmon Alicia - seems like it has been a great match so far

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

I couldnt believe it when it was called out, lucky he corrected it. Great shot by Alicia to rip it down the line.

Alicia is now 3-0 up in the tie breaker!
