Looks like 6 out of 10 players on Cal's roster now are foreign, including 4 of the likely top 6.
No idea what the score is in the Gordon-Ivanov match since I haven't been following every point, but Ivanov just broke Gordon and then held to consolidate. Anyone at the match to provide some details?
Gordon held and then broke Ivanov; Ivanov then broke back and held; Michaela then held for what I presume is the first set, since Michaela was serving first after the changeovers and they just sat down after she won her service game. Because Michaela went 3-4 in the games I saw, presumably she got out to a 3-0 lead, Ivanov broke and held to 3-2, Gordon held and broke to 5-2, Ivanov then got it to 5-4 before Michaela closed out the set.
Gordon just broke Ivanov to start the second set. In that game, at least, it seemed more that Ivanov was trying to be aggressive and was missing shots a few inches long rather than Gordon necessarily dictating points, but I'll take whatever we can get! (Now my streaming isn't working, though. Court 2 works, just not Court 1. There's no match on that court, though, since Kozyreva dispatched UW's Kopcalic fairly quickly, it seems.)
