Martic as an underdog here, even though she is 4:0 against Vondrousova. Given the fact of no win for Marketa, that should make her even more motivated. I still believe in Martic to go through.

Vondrousva breaks Martic serving for the 1st set with excellent defense will serve 4-5

Martic really putting pressure on her opponents serve

Great rally at the net from both players 5 games all

Oops Martic had a too easy put away volley at the net and it went out by a mile

Martic with a great touch volley at the net,makes up for the one she should have made holds serve 6-5

Vondrousova has saved 3MP......lovely drop shot volley...5 points in a row from Vondrousova to hold serve well done

T/break in force for the 1st set....

Vondrousova 4-1 has played really well since saving 4MPs in her previous service game now 5-1

Yet gets only one point in the tiebreak. That’s gotta hurt.
I saw it and was sure she will take it, but no, now one set down. Will be veey hard to turn it around.

Vondrousova with 2BP

There is the break

Well a bit of a collapse from Martic. Which is not even remotely surprising. But Vondrousova playing really well to get back into it and get to the tiebreak. Still. Martic should have broken at 5-4 up love-40 on Vondrousova's serve. Vondrousova running away with the tiebreak probably just because Martic shocked with herself. But Vondrousova hasn't lost a tiebreak this year they showed up on the screen.

Vondrousova keeping it early here in the second.
