In the
first set Maleeva breaks for a 3-1 lead. She really never was in trouble, only
one time in the 7th game Lee-Waters held a breakpoint but Maleeva took care of
that taking a 5-2 lead.
Lindsay
Lee-Waters was able to hold serve for 3-5 but could not prevent that Maleeva
took the first set on her own serve 6-3.
In the
second set Maleeva breaks Lee-Waters in the 5th service game for 3-2. No
problems holding her own service Maggie Maleeva takes a 4-2 lead.
Lee-Waters
desperately trying to hold on stepped up her game a bit, cheering herself
on and grunting more with every hit. On her way to hold serve she saw Maleeva
fighting back even harder and breaking her again for 5-2.

Maleeva
needs a second serve after serving the ball into the net, the second is just
not good enough and comes back as a winner. Lee-Waters holds breakpoint, again
she hits a winning forehand shot breaking back Maleeva’s serve for 3-5.
Unfortunately for Lindsay Lee-Waters Maggie Maleeva feels that she did something wrong there, she steps up her game. The American is trailing 15-40 in no time and when Lee-Waters needs a second serve she gets a winner ending the match in return, 6-3, 6-3 in 1 hour and 1 minute of play
