It is really flipping irritating that we're not getting live scoring for this tournament. I shouldn't have to obsessively follow every point in order to know what the score in a match is. (I don't know what the score is.)
Looks like some tight lines being called on both sides today, though Kozyreva has been more demonstrative about objecting to certain out calls.
An exchange of breaks there in the second set, but I'm still largely clueless about what the match situation is.
Then another break of Gordon's serve, followed by Gordon breaking right back.
In the little I've watched, Kozyreva looks like the better player. Moves much more fluidly, more athletic, and she's dictating points more often. But the funny thing about Gordon's game is that she doesn't always look dominant. She plays a more defensive style, and while she's not the kind of athlete that Lampl was, running all over the court, she is a master at anticipating and being in the right place at the right time. That sort of consistency is maddening to play against, and you can tell it's getting to Kozyreva sometimes. Gordon just hit a ball back to her that looked like it might land out (it would've been close, at least), but instead of waiting, Kozyreva hit it on the fly and sprayed it wide. (Of course, then Kozyreva followed that up with two outstanding points, moving Gordon around the court and hitting winners down the line.)
