Amélie Mauresmo raced to a commanding 6-4, 5-1 lead when the demons of doubt that have plagued her whole career reappeared.
Her singles match with Russia's Yaroslava Shvedova became a two front battle; one to control Shvedova, and one to control herself.
Ultimately, the 2006 champion squandering nine match points, suffering a five-game slide, striking successive double faults in the second-set tiebreaker, found a way to survive in scoring a 6-1, 7-6(5) victory.
