One of the best matches of the past decade and easily the most distraught I've ever been over a tennis match. Our sport simultaneously in all its glory and horror. First, Tatiana fighting tooth and nail to overturn a 3-6 1-5 deficit, exherting every cell in her brain as she saved five match points at 3-5 with a series of long, grueling 20~ stroke rallies in front of an unbelievable atmosphere. Then, after somehow willng the match into a third set, the ankle.
I'd always been of a fan of Tatiana's, but this match sent my respect and admiration for her through the roof. Never forget.
