Anyone else dislike these "gameday" pages on the official gostanford website as much as I do? What is the point of them? It gives me no new information that isn't just as accessible from the women's tennis homepage.
Early in the first set, Ma forced a deciding point and Han sprayed it long, so Ma is up an early break, 2-1.
They trade breaks and Ma is up 3-2. Han's great; this will be a fun one. It would be really nice for Ma to consolidate the break here.
Ma holds to consolidate to 4-2 and then gets to deciding point on Han's serve and breaks for 5-2. Then, with the set on Ma's serve, she's quickly broken for 5-3 and she'll try and break for the set. She goes up 0-40 on Han's serve, Han gets it to 30-40, and then Ma wins that point to break for the set, 6-3! She'll serve to start the second shortly.
Ma holds to start the set. Han seemingly frustrated as she hits a double fault and Ma hits a winner to go up 2-0. Ma's serve didn't seem as good as it was at Northwest Regionals to start but she seems to be getting sharper as the match wears on, whereas Han's serve came out hot in the first set and she's really struggling with it now. (Of course, as soon as I say that, she misses three first serves in a row.) But she still holds easily for 3-0. Han seems dispirited. Ma now leads 6-3, 3-0 over the 7th seed.
Yep, Han spiraling now--body language wilting, shoulders slumped after points, lots more unforced errors into the net as she feels the need to make something happen. Straightforward break and consolidation and now she leads 6-3, 5-0, with Han serving to stay in it. Han digs deep and has her best game since early in the first set and she holds. Ma will now serve for the match, up 6-3, 5-1.
