Speechless really whenever I am watching the livescore of Vita/Nadya. They were in such a good position in the second-set, facing a HKG pair and a great chance to progress to QF with big bucks in the pocket, only to let the chance slip and the match is now into the rubber-set.

The lesson is: Don't expect a lot from this pair.
