2022 USO SF: Swiatek vs. Sabalenka

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga try the body serve to Saba use your brain

Brainless Iga and is broken again

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It seems Saba and the USO court go hand in hand really the surface she seems to do well on

 

[Moxie]

Sabalenka is holding her nerve and bossing Iga.

 

[Moxie]

And she wins the first set 6-3.

 

[kskate2]

Definitely bossing Iga. But she was getting dominated in that 4th round too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga has lost the plot, first she has to get her first serve in, return better

I blame Kanepi for choking in her match, serving twice for the match and letting Saba off the hook
AF I am looking at you also?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba is really targeting the Iga fhand, and getting results lol!

 

[kskate2]

So we're back to Kaia again. LOL! Listen, the poor girl has underachieved her entire career. Not much can really be expected of her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga you need the break here, better returning of Saba serve, though Saba helped with DF

Good girl breaks, Saba right on cue

 

[Moxie]

And Sabalenka hands Iga a lifeline...broke herself at love.

Sorry I had to bring that up, Kaia can be a Giant Killer lol!

 

[kskate2]

It's almost like she needed that lost set to jolt her back to reality. Hello, this is for the opportunity to play for a slam. I think I better give my all even though I didn't expect much I'm here now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Finally Iga finding better placement on her serve, she has won 8 straight points

 

[kskate2]

Iga way too predictable. She needed to go up the line there.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

An area Iga can improve is to play doubles more, improve her volley game

I love doubs. It helps w/ so many intangible things too like instincts, patterns, belief, anticipation and consistency.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga really has upped her 1st serve, much better this 2nd set, finding her spots more on the court, good change up

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good return Iga on Saba's 2nd serve, stepping in, thats the way

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good pressure Iga on the Saba service game and your reward another break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great get at the net Iga lol!
