Leaking break points like a sieve and getting badly outgunned from the baseline, Bouchard falls behind early against Petkovic, 3-1....Petkovic keeps hammering and takes the set, 5-2. She is making Washington look wicked fast this year.
2nd set: Petkovic turns erratic and Bouchard gets s break, 3-2...Petkovic continues to fall apart, 5-2. Weird...gets weirder. Bouchard can't serve it out, 5-4....second time's the charm, though, 6-4
3rd set: Petkovic reverts to first set form and shots again whiz by, 3-love....Bouchard blows 40-love lead, 4-love....and a well-earned bagel. By both players.
