"I looked up at the scoreboard and saw the light against Hana's name, showing it was her service," Lloyd said. "But it had been a long and tiring first set and I couldn't figure it out." Lost two games "Hana serves very well, so I think the mistake should have helped her more than me." Lloyd had no more trouble until she led 4-1 in the third set. Then she lost two consecutive games. She broke service to lead 5-2 but Mandlikova kept the final game going to five deuces and saved two match points before yielding. The centre court sizzled in temperatures of about 40 degrees.

But Ruzici was the only one of the four semi-finalists who showed any concern over the heat. In the first set, she served at 3-4 and trailed 0-30, but survived the crisis by serving an ace and winning eight consecutive points. "I had to win that game, because in that heat 1 don't think I could have fought for another two sets," she said. Fromholtz, who comes from Sydney, said she loved the conditions. Neither Lloyd nor Mandlikova showed any reaction to it.
