I think Serena rolls from this point on. Elina has every opportunity to be up in this set and actually on the brink on taking this set and is actually going to lose it.

Serena is far from her best,she plays the Big Points well,like most champion players do,both players seem tight,which is normal under the circumstances.Elina's game plan was right,but it has fallen away.

It's not over yet DB.
Only one break down. These are the type of matches I feel so bad for a player like Elina because really it has been a few shots here and there that would have fallen in for her and we would be talking totally different about this set. Her mentality now has to be rapidly going down. It really isn't like she has played badly. Actually Serena isn't on her top game.

1st Set to Serena. Not her best. Lets see if Elina can capitalize on chances this set and make it a 3 setter.

Serena has not expended a lot of energy so far.
