Sania and Bet had 3 Mps at 7-6 5-4 15-40. But then Jie and Zi got it to deuce, and saved a third MP winning the gold point :D :hearts: :worship:

Next game went again to the gold point. Z/Y took it again for a 6-5 lead, and served it out to win the second set.

I love you girls. You are amazing fighters. You deserve it. Good luck in the final against Safina and Vesnina :rocker2: :bounce:

Sania/Bet :hug:

joćo.

It's the supertiebreak. Instead of having a real third set, after splitting the first 2 sets, the two teams play a super tiebreak to determine the winner (first to 10 wins)

Thanks for the info. Is this just for doubles?

Yes, it's just for doubles. It was already applied last year for some tournaments, but this year all tournaments use this new system except for the Slams.

According to this new system, there is no more Ad, which means that whoever wins the pt at deuce wins the game.

Wow! I don't watch many double matches; I guess that's why I had no clue.

Again, thanks so much for the info.
