In tiebreak Manaseva has a match point but again she wasted this oportuniity and lost 3 next points and a set. After 10minutes break , laides started 3rd set - Manaseva looked again very solid - she take a lead 3-0 ( 12-2 small points). Until this moment she looked like lost the power - her strokes wasn't so agressive , Bychkova started to play some "moon balls" and Manaseva can't finish it!
