Simona Halep, Women's Singles, Australian Open
THIRSTY WORK - Halep and Davis are into a third

Oh Lauren, no, no, no...

It's a real nail-biter on RLA right now, particularly if you're a Simona Halep fan. The world No.1 eked out the second set to level up 4-6 6-4 but she's having to play at her scrambling best against American Davis, who is mixing things up. But how she would love the last bite of that 20-shot rally back - having dragged Halep across the baseline, she dinks a drop shot that the Romanian can only dolly up while leaving the court unguarded, only for Davis to flub the volley into the net.

It's a costly miss, too, with Halep breaking to lead the decider 2-1 - but with the way this match has gone so far, there may be another twist in the tale yet to come.
