This is really good. Not beautiful, elegant tennis, lots of errors, but a battle of wills. Who will crack. Sloane serving 4-5 in the third.
The players are beautiful and elegant, though.

Re: Hot for Teacher Thread
Had a colleague who lost his career, had sexual relationship with a patient. Yep, it was wrong, but it was consensual, and without acrimony from either. Shame, he was such a talented veterinarian.
