Ivanovic was two points away from the 1st set, and now she is down a break. Yup, I gave her the dreaded HF jinx.

I really hope Ivanovic will keep her confidence and stay in this match. Anything can happen. Sharapova wasn't blowing her off the court. She needs to just settle in and go for her shots.

Ivanovic fights off two break points and holds a 5 deuce game. Very big hold for Ana.

Sharapova serving at 0-1.
 
wow, crazy game there. ivanovic manages to hold the first game after multiple deuces and multiple break points for maria

sharapova played a lot of crazy amazing shots in the game, esp. that one return of serve
 
Once again, Ana is down a break. Once again, Maria is dominating her service games having lost only one point on her serve in this set. However, once again Ana needs to believe she is still in this set. She just needs to creep into Maria's service game and she might pick up a loose point or two. Keep the confidence and don't give up!
