At this Stage

Two hours and 39 minutes, three sets each decided late, and a final ledger of 112 points to 109 — Lanlana Tararudee against Lilli Tagger was first-round tennis at its most stubborn. Tagger, an 18-year-old Austrian with a one-handed backhand and Francesca Schiavone in her corner, out-aced the Thai eight to three, but Tararudee converted two of her four break chances to Tagger's two of six, and that was the whole margin: 7-6(3) 5-7 6-4. It earned her a second-round meeting with 18th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, where two more tight sets both went the seed's way.
