2019 Australian Open, Melbourne - WTA GRAND SLAM

[MargaretMcAleer]

Apart from Serena's shaky service game in the first set,that was just a 'flawless set of tennis' from Serena

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Halep placing her serve considerably better early in the 2nd set,gets the break back.

Simona's acquitted herself well in the second set... I had visions of a complete blowout.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Halep wins the 2nd set 64 well done,game on now,Serena has to re-group,though good to see her being pushed as up to now she hasnt been.

BP for Serena

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Serena needs to have more 'controlled aggression' in her shots,Halep is doing a great job of absorbing her weight and pace of shot in this final set,also maintaining her first serve placement.

Yeah, lot of credit to her for tactical adjustments since the first set.

This is a great battle, really enjoying it.

 

[britbox]

Ooooh... Simona has got the rub of the green with those let cords today.
