This Sabalenka v. Stearns match is gangbusters.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stearns will now serve for the match against Saba
Interesting stat Saba has lost the last 4 matches when she lost the 1st set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Broken when serving for the match nerves played a part
Back on serve in the 3rd set 5all, Saba can count herself lucky since her AO win her form as been sub par

Sighting of Redfoo in Peyton Stearns box, he was needed in the Azarenka match earlier lol!

what is redfoolery doing there? garnering some tv time, eh?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am loving this fight from Stearns
Saba trying to hold on and saving a couple of BPs

 

[kskate2]

Saba is fighting to become the densest player on tour. This girl cannot beat hear as evidenced by the fact she could not serve it out w/ 4 MP's. So why then, does Saba keep gifting her points?

You nailed it because she is the 'densest player on tour" LOL!

I had that award all pegged for Maddy, but Saba is trying to outbid her for it now.

And there she goes again w/ a wild shot that has no hope of being close to the baseline. Underdog will serve for it again

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay broken again
Lets see if Stearns can hold her nerve and serve out the match for a 2nd time 6-5

You should have watched Saba in the first set, it was worse than that, her serve, her ground strokes and her mind went AWOL

she's going to need some errors. Let's see how generous Saba will be

 

[kskate2]

like I said. She needed errors and Saba wasn't obliged. TB it is

This Match,! not time for a strong drink for me, though I need one lol!

 

[kskate2]

this TB is the worst place for Saba. Every error here counts as a BP against

I was wondering same! He's not currently dating anyone on the tour, right?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba can count herself lucky getting out of this match 9 DFs and 10aces? her brain and ground strokes at times were just woeful

 

[kskate2]

no one that we know of

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

no one that we know of

Red Foo was at the AO this year with his GF though she wasnt with him tonight

 

[Moxie]

OMG, I switched over to SNL when Saba lost serve, then I see you guys still posting. Holy Toledo...6-6.
