Iga grabs the 2nd. On to a third …

Iga has more guts than the majority of them weak knee sissies that are Novak's opponents.

I'd love to see Elina win this, but looking at a third set, now, and Iga seems to be turning it.

 

[Kieran]

Iga showing her temperament. She’s squeaking out tight sets..

 

[the AntiPusher]

Svitolina blinked..

NAH, IGA went for it. She ain't nobody's punk

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just like to point out Iga and Elina are very good friends, Iga has supported the Ukraine movement and donated to the Ukraine fund

Yap, she found some corners and played way more agressive. I'm cheering for The Mother though.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I'd love to see Elina win this, but looking at a third set, now, and Iga seems to be turning it.

This is like the Bencic match from yesterday, still a long way to go, Elina is a fighter to the end we saw that in that TB against Azarenka yesterday

I'm fairly confident Iga is not going to win this tournament. If she's struggling against the likes of Bencic and Svitolina, there's no way she's going to beat Rybakina, Jabeur, or Sabalenka. Iga is very fortunate she has a very easy half of the draw, or she would have been sent packing by now.

You think lol! I picked Rybakina from the start of the tournament and no other player has come close to her grass level in this tournamemt
