2024 US Open Final: Sabalenka vs. Pegula

[MargaretMcAleer]

A love service game from Saba, she has finally found her 1st serve lol! consolidates her break in the 2nd set leads 3-0
To me if looks like Saba is playing more 'freely' now, that 1st set felt like she was battling her demons from last year

Sabalenka is hitting the ball harder than ever.

Hello Don,
Thank goodness your hear I was getting lonely all by myself

I was out and came home when Pegula was serving at 6:5. Saba was nervous there, but managed to win and now it looks like a one way road.

That's crazy. I've seen that photo of her FH speeds comparing it with Alcaraz Sinner Djokovic I think.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Here we go again Saba over hitting and Jess has 15-40

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pegula breaks back?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess you were up 40 love and now deuce, you were in control of that last rally as well?
Jess holds and has shown great fight in this final !

[don_fabio]

What a game from Pegula to break Saba at 3:3. Amazing tennis.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess breaks she is winning the rallies at present and of course Saba is forcing and pushing her shots
Match in the 2nd set has turned around

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba talking to herself lol!
Jess with a DF back to deuce

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Jess leading 5-3 2nd set
Her coach told Jess ' Own the Baseline" great advice
Jess has been the player with more aggression and it is paying off while Saba has gone away with the Fairies somewhere

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess will serve at 5-4 for the 2nd set
Remember when Saba was up 3-0 in the 2nd set ?

Pegula is so much in this match she didn't realize she served a 2nd serve when she double faulted. She tought it was a 1st serve.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh No Jess love 40

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba You Idoit you had the open court and again Over Played the Shot, 30-40?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]
