[MargaretMcAleer]

What a great bh volley from Sonay and she finally holds in a 10 minute game in the 1st game of the 2nd set
Maja breaks with 5 BPs and back on serve early in the 2nd set
Sonay who called for the trainer after the 1st set, she was given some pills, seems to be struggling a bit, Maja has upped her game and has been pressing hard, it has become a physical battle for both players.
3 games all
Maja has Sonay running all over the court and finally has another break and leads 4-3
Maja breaks and will serve for the 2nd set 5-4
Going 3 as Maja wins the 2nd set 6-4
Both players taking a toilet break

Maja with 3 BPs with a great lob, she is making Sonay coming to the net, trying to draw errors, putting up high balls, making Sonay play one more ball
Maja consolidates her break and leads 4-2 final set
Something you learn every day, Sonay started out as a lefty and changed to be a right handed player
Great play from Maja she breaks again and will serve for her first title of her career at 5-2., coming back strong after losing the 1st set against Sonay., she never gave up.
My bombay cat Hermione is really engaged in this match as she sits on my lap and hasnt taken her eyes off the play
Maja with CH point ouch her fhand finds the net......deuce
Maja with her 2nd CH point, hey what was that shot Maja, landing in no womens land?
Maja with her left serve opens up the court with her fhand and a great drop shot at the net to finish
Maja with her 3rd CH point
3rd time is a Charm
