Third set starting better from Ma. Held for 1-0, broke for 2-0, was broken for 2-1, and just broke back for 3-1. Can she hold now? Probably not! CONNIE, PROVE ME WRONG.

---

Reader, she did not hold. Lost on deciding point again, and it's on serve at 3-2 up.

---

I wonder what the record is for highest percentage of service games lost in a match you somehow won? Because the winner of this match has to be flirting with that record. 

And as I type that, Ma breaks Carter to go up 4-2, and Carter is visibly frustrated.

---

And she holds for 5-2 for the second set in a row. Surely this time has to be different, right??

(It was. She then broke to win the third set 6-2.) Whew!

---

So it'll be Ma-Glozman for the regional title tomorrow sometime (or back on campus at a more convenient date, I suppose). Glozman gets the benefit of an extra couple hours of rest today after a much less arduous semifinal match. 

Doubles semis were supposed to start 20 minutes ago, but with a participant in both doubles semifinals taking part in that singles marathon, I would imagine that they'll give Carter and Ma some amount of rest before they play those.

---

And, of course, that means that Connie Ma joins Valerie Glozman in the NCAA singles championship in November!
