But she is handed the break on a double fault from Azarenka

CLIJSTERS 4-6 6-1 0-2 – BREAK – This time it’s Clijsters turn to look nervy as she slaps down an error followed by a couple of cracking returns from Azarenka. She has been all over the second serve of Clijsters since the first point but then she finds a huge forehand return off the first serve as well to break to love

CLIJSTERS 4-6 6-1 0-1 – Clijsters looks a little unsure of herself as she hangs back instead of plucking the ball out of the air and it gives Azarenka the chance to take the first point.

The Belarusian saves it a huge serve that Clijsters can only return long and goes on to hold after back-to-back netted forehands from Clijsters

She will serve for the set next though

CLIJSTERS 4-6 4-0 – BREAK – Azarenka follows a double fault with a great first serve and, a few shots later, a forehand drive volley winner to get herself a game point from 30-30 but a low forehand into the net allows Clijsters back to deuce. Azarenka saves a first break point with a big forehand that Clijsters can only return long but the Belgian gets it at the second attempt when Azarenka hits a backhand long

CLIJSTERS 4-6 3-0 – Azarenka is beginning to look a little rattled as she sends first a forehand down the line long, followed by a shocking miss on a smash with an open court to let Clijsters off the hook and hand her a game point.
