THE CHAMPIONSHIPS (Wimbledon, England; grass; Grand Slam)

Annabel Croft: "She takes the ball very, very early, and she does
have good groundstrokes: they're well-produced strokes, and she's got
a kind of /effortless/ style about her... She is an interesting
player, but I think a lot of her problems come from the emotional
side of things. Never a dull moment when she's on court, is there?"

Simon Reed: "No - can't take your eyes off her!"

First round (Monday 23rd June 2008)
-----------

+ ANNA CHAKVETADZE [8,EF] d. Stéphanie Dubois, 2-6 6-1 8-6

After a disastrous first set in which Anna failed to hold serve even
once, she stormed through the second and took a *3-2 lead in the
third, only to lose the next three games. Dubois had two match-points
at *5-3 (40/15), Anna saved a third at *4-5 (30/40), and also
recovered from *5-6 (15/30).

Anna served for the match at *7-6 in the third - the only game of
this match that Freeview BBCi deigned to televise. Anna had to save
two break-points after wasting her first match-point, but then sealed
victory in just under two hours with her second forehand drive-volley
winner of the game.

I have just uploaded to my website an enhanced version of my match-
report (adding the above summary, Statistics and an extra article)
that I posted here at the time:

At last I have got round to finishing my full TV-report of this
match - including a point-by-point description, transcriptions of the
commentary, and Statistics. I have just uploaded it to my website (at
the same URI as above).
