So Elena bageled Dominika in the first set in about 15 minutes and was on her way in the second when the damned rain interfered 
Though they didn't stop playing for long, I think it threw Elena off. Then we got the double faults and all that and the next two sets (she dropped the second in a tiebreak) was one of those long, tedious battles over two hours. 60 67 64.
Hot, muggy, slow and tedious seemed the rule there today--which is Florida as I know it, plus it stinks of swamp & dead fish. 
As late as things have dragged on, I don't know if Chaki will get to play tonight or not.
Chaki is playing. She won't get off the court until after midnight Florida time.
Well, pfffff! Chaki lost. 
Crappy weather, endless delays--just a bad day all around. While most of the Russian girls got through, I think they all had difficulties. Anyway, Elena will then play Sabine Lisicki of Germany.
