Make that four, although the Pole is make to work for the hold, saving a break point at 30-40. Chwalinska is giving Kalinskaya so little rhythm and the Russian is totally befuddled in the next game as Chwalinska zips 15-40 ahead. Now Kalinskaya is trying to get in on the drop-shot act … but it’s not her natural game, it doesn’t work and Chwalinska charges forward before dispatching a winner into the open court! It’s now 5-1. Phew.

The 5ft 5in left-hander Chwalinska, who makes up for her lack of height and power with intelligence, is drop-shotting and slicing Kalinskaya into submission here, and it gives her a break point at 30-40. Kalinskaya saves it with a big backhand – but soon enough it’s break point again and after a nine-shot rally Kalinskaya’s forehand drifts wide! Chwalinska breaks for 3-1 and that’s three games on the spin. freshyourfeel.org

Alvoret gikk fort opp for Ragne Wiklund da hun oppsøkte legevakten etter en helg med store smerter.
Til NRK forteller den regjerende allround-verdensmesteren på skøyter at hun innså at noe var galt under en treningsøkt.
– Jeg trodde det var menssmerter.
– Så jeg sykler intervaller, men det er så vondt. Så til slutt skjønner jeg at her er det noe galt, og da kan jeg like gjerne dra på legevakten. Der blir jeg sendt rett på sykehus og operert. Det eskalerte fort, forteller Wiklund.
Den norske skøytestjernen hadde en betent blindtarm som måtte fjernes.
Etter operasjonen må Wiklund belage seg på en treningspause.
– Jeg må holde det i ro for at ting skal gro, forteller hun.
