McHale's recovery: Christina McHale has survived her fair share of endurance-testing matches at the Grand Slams. Few have been as dramatic, though, as her first-round win on Monday when she vomited on court at 4-all in the third set and saved a match point before outlasting France's Stephanie Foretz 6-4, 1-6, 12-10. The final set took nearly two hours to complete.

Feeling much better after the match, McHale said getting sick in front of a crowded gallery wasn't the worst part of the day. "I was more embarrassed that it took so long to clean up," she said. "But I did feel much better after I let it all out."

The 22-year-old American is hoping for a far quicker match in the second round against Carina Witthoeft of Germany.
