Jesus Saba you were 5-3 in the TB

 

[kskate2]

Stearns is nice, but she will rue the day she didn't win one of those MP's and she had chances. She kept feeding the ball back to Saba instead of keeping her on the move

 

[Moxie]

Wow...Aryna does it! I'll have to go back to watch the bits I missed, but some match!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Count yourself lucky Saba that was an Ugly Win I need a stiff Gin and Tonic

Have a strong drink with you, I am just pouring myself one at that nightmare of a match from Saba

 

[kskate2]

Quinwen just dropped the opening set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2 players can count them selves lucky to survive today Gauff and Saba

Quinwen just dropped the opening set

Nothing surprises me today a bunch of seeds gone

 

[kskate2]

I was out all day and missed Coco. It was that bad huh?

Well her serve went missing 8 DFs and again she struggled with her fhand, her form has been sub par since the AO

 

[kskate2]

her serve hasn't been right since she made that pit stop at Andy's house

Agree, she has to stop this Big Serve nonsense, it is better to hit your spots and make sure your serve is in and Brad has to do something with the fhand
No good saying just use your bhand?

the problem is, she avoids hitting FH by running around it to hit the BH. You can't win matches like that. A few points here and there but not an entire match. She must build confidence in the FH when it's targeted. He has to help her w/ that and stop tweaking her serve

Agree, Brad said he is just focusing on her strengths like her BH? hello most players target her fhand cause they know it is her weaker side and can get points off it

It's Saturday night here...bottoms up! Being a Sabalenka fan is NOT for the faint of heart.

and they'll keep going there even when she hits a good one or two. He has to get his head out of the clouds and see what really needs work

No it is NOT, still when her game and mind is on she can take any player off the court

It is her footwork at times on her fhand wing she is late, then cant get into the correct position, she is one of the best athletes on the tour, I just dont understand it
This is where I miss Serena big time, she had soo much time on the ball because of her great footwork, to player her shots, I also include Venus in her prime

 

[kskate2]

great job Emma. She was down a set and 5-3

do you think she is late because she's afraid of taking it straight on. That's the only way she will get this thing resolved is if she doesn't run from it
