Les MiStosurables

Sam Stosur lost a heartbreaking second round Australian Open match to Jie Zheng today, 4-6, 6-1, 5-7, after saving 7 set points in the first set and leading 5-2 in the third. She served for the match twice, but never had a match point.

Afterwards, she was understandably dejected in her press conference.

"It's hard to take when you get yourself in a true winning position. It's hard to talk about it right now."
 "I thought I had really good rhythm and it went away quite quickly. It just kept happening point after point."
And then... well, twitter is twitter.











What can I say, Les Miserables is one of my two favourite musicals of all time (the other would be Phantom of the Opera).

New blog domain - change your RSS feeds

Dear readers,

I'm happy to announce that in a few minutes, the blog will move from the old letsecondserve.blogspot.com address to the new and shiny www.letsecondserve.com . This won't affect any links that led to the blog previously - those will still work and will redirect to the new address.
However, if you previously set up an RSS feed for the blog, it might not work anymore. To resubscribe, simply make sure you're viewing the blog on the new address, then click on "Subscribe->posts" on the right.

Thanks, and do come back! :)
