A really clean set of tennis from Saba in the 1st set over Ostapenko 62, I didnt realize this was the first time these two have played on clay, Saba leads their H2H 2-0 ( HC)

Sabalenka d Ostapenko 62 64 beating her for the 3rd time out of 3 career meetings, great serving from Saba, faced no BPs as well.
Sabalenka into WTA Rome 1000 SF for the 2nd time
Improving her 2024 clay court record 10-2
Saba awaits the winner of Azarenka - Collins in the SFs

The Banshee told the camaraman to back up a bit in her match v Azarenka which has just started,
"Hey dude, your're gonna have to back up a bit" :)

I really like Banshee's approach in this game. She's taken some pace off her shots and went for placement. Earns SP

Banshee broke Vika's serve and won the 1st set 64, Vika's 2nd serve has always been her downfall in her career

Since announcing her retirement at the end of the year, Banshee has been playing freely with no fear, and it shows in her tennis so far this year.

Vika is so angry. She is practically shouting at her box like he can tell her how to stop this freight train.
