Jankovic has just saved a match point...is she still being troubled by that injury in the Hopman/Meaningless Cup? Or is she just getting beat down by a good young player?

As for my predictions, I will go out on a limb and predict Novak Djokovic to win his first major, and Justine Henin to win and continue what is an amazing run of form.

Doesn't look troubled by any injury to me...her opponent has just played a good match.

I see Paszek has just turned 17 and is already ranked just outside the top 32, so it looks she's got a hell of a future.

Serving for the match again....

 

[Junior55]

Some brilliant shots being played in the last 3-4 games.

Jankovic broke back then got immediately lost her serve again.

Now 40/30 to close out the match.

Would be a massive upset.

Back to Deuce

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Jankovic up to her old tricks.

 

[Ricketts]

Boo, injury time out, come on Paszek!

This is great stuff. Love the no tie breaks in the last set at grand slams!

 

[Ricketts]

Jankovic walking around the court holding her back after every point.

Im loving this game of tennis, its a true battle.

 

[chickens_law]

This set is almost 2 hours long.

Can this be the longest match?

 

[Lowie01]

I should have known this match wouldn't have a straightforward finish. It does beat the hell out of deciding set tie breaks though.

 

[CURVE]

Damn, how nice is Jessica Moore

Impressive career record. 0-4.

 

[Adam BK]

All over, magnificent effort by Paszek though

 

[heals]

Outstanding match, well done to both girls.

 

[Scruff83]

****. The other chick deserved to win. Great match tho.
