Pinpoint accuracy and focus prove too much for KI!
By Steve England; ESVN (Fair and Balanced) - The last time these two faced each other in tournament play was 2007---a lot has changed in nearly six years! Half a decade ago, these two fought to a 7-5 finish of the 1st-set, and a relative walkover in the 2nd with KI coming out on top!
This time it's a different story all together! Although the 1st-set starts close tied at 2-2, a lengthy 5-deuce game goes to DH! This may have been the pivotal point in the match, since KI doesn't win another game until the 2nd-set! Even then, the games were few and far between! DH jumps to a 5-1 lead in the second, before KI scores again! Despite starting to cramp late in the first, DH sails on to victory with a comfortable margin! DH tops KI 6-2,6-2. She will now face KN to play for a spot in the East-Finals, while KI will travel northeast against JI.
