    Cirstea has got to be thinking what has she got to do to be able to break away from Konta.

    Those last couple of games were excellent from Konta upping her level and showing, even with a lack of matches, she can still depend on that level.

  5. *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-3 Cirstea

    Konta saves one with her improving forehand.

    What now?

  6. *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-3 Cirstea

    15-40 as Konta again finds the net.

    This inconsistency is ugly.

    Two break points.

  7. *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-3 Cirstea

    Superb from Konta who thumps a shot from the baseline at the body of her opponent after a thrilling rally.

    15-30.

  8. *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-3 Cirstea

    Konta ups the pace but her opponent stays with her and forces the Brit to go long.

    0-15.

    0-30 as Cirstea chases down a poor attempt at a drop from Konta.

    Pressure?

  9. *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-3 Cirstea

    She holds with a powerful (would it be anything but?) double-hander down the line.

  10. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-2 Cirstea*

    30-0.

    The Romanian, who has won one WTA title in her career, appears to have recovered from the blip.

    40-15.

  11. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 3-2 Cirstea*

    Konta holds after sitting Cirstea on a pendulum and then making sure she falls off.

  12. *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 2-2 Cirstea

    15-30.

    Konta then delivers the worst attempt at a first serve this match - a slice that finds the net.

    Cirstea rants again after coming out worse in a rally which the Brit controlled.

    30s each.

    40-30.

  13. Konta breaks

    *Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 2-2 Cirstea

    Cirstea goes wide and Konta breaks back. The Romanian got the yips with her first serve and got what she deserved.

  14. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 1-2 Cirstea*

    A Konta winner and a Konta break point....

  15. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 1-2 Cirstea*

    Cirstea struggles again with her first serve when at advantage - a short second serve is dealt with appropriately by the Brit.

    Deuce.

  16. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 1-2 Cirstea*

    An absorbing rally sees Cirstea make a mistake after stretching for a deep Konta return.

    Deuce, but it's advantage again as Konta finds the net following a shorter rally.

  17. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 1-2 Cirstea*

    Poor second serve from Cirstea which is far too short allows Konta to punish her.

    Deuce.

  18. Konta 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 1-2 Cirstea*

    40-15 before Konta sends the Romanian out wide with her return, forcing the error.
