"The 19-year-old Peer fell short in her bid to become the first Israeli, male or female, to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal. But she gave Hingis some anxious moments."

"The match was suspended because of darkness after two sets Sunday, and resumed on a mild, hazy afternoon to start the tournament's final week."

"The first game was a 14-minute marathon, going to deuce five times before Hingis converted her third break-point chance."

"Peer promptly broke back. Hingis regained the lead for good with a break at love for 3-2 as she took charge by pinning Peer behind the baseline with deep groundstrokes, then moving to the net to close out points."

"Hingis won 13 of 15 points for a 5-2 lead. She hit a handful of shaky shots trying to close the victory but did so when Peer hit errant backhands on the last three points."

Wow, you are a good sports writer.

I had to miss that and can't be on the net more than a minute tonight and boy did you draw a picture in my mind regarding what happened.

Thanks a lot.
