Strycova 2-4 Konta* (30-40)
A few miscues by Konta allow Strycova back into the game at 30-30, and another inaccurate forehand down the line gives Strycova BREAK POINT...
*Strycova 3-4 Konta
STRYCOVA BREAKS!
A few terrible minutes for Konta, who overhits a backhand way long to gift her Czech opponent the break!
That was a bad game.
Strycova 4-4 Konta*
The door is left ajar at 15-30, but Konta misses three groundstrokes on the spin, and Strycova escapes with the game.
From 4-1 to 4-4, after 37 minutes. Konta needs to get back on track here...
COURT 1 UPDATE
Elina Svitolina is up a set and a break against Karolina Muchova, 7-5 3-2.
Strycova 4-4 Konta* (30-40)
More Konta errors, along with a gorgeous Strycova drop shot, hand the Czech a BREAK POINT...
Strycova 4-4 Konta* (40-40)
BREAK POINT SAVED!
Strycova has a half-chance with a pass from a drop shot, but it drifts long.
*Strycova 4-5 Konta
One minute she's lost her way, the next she's rediscovered her mojo.
A big serve down the T coupled with a forehand winner means Strycova, despite her comeback, will still have to serve to stay in the set here...
Strycova 5-5 Konta*
Strycova holds to love.
A game started with a serve and volley ends with two Konta errors on the forehand side.
