BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2025 - WTA 1000

[MargaretMcAleer]

DF from Mirra and Saba has SP no 2
Saba takes the 1st set 62, a impressive performance so far
I did mentioned that Mirra's serve would be important in this match up, she DF gave Saba her 2nd SP which Saba took

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Mirra has to be more aggressive and put Saba under pressure
Where has Mirra's bhand gone in this match so far, it has been 'on song' in this tournament
Mirra has to take the BPs opportunities when they come
Saba plays the Big Points soo well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Martina Navratilova in the house, Martina won 2 IW titles

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba holds
Mirra had BPs and again fails to convert? miss the bhand return as well?
Mirra also does a Djoko smash it must be catching today in the desert

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good change up from Mirra with high balls she has 2 more BPs
Yep finally she converts and breaks Saba 2-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hello there is the bhand I was talking about from Mirra, it has suddenly appeared
What a drop shot from Mirra
Her confidence has come back we have a final
Mirra leads 3-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Brain fail Saba with the drop shot from the baseline with the wind?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gutsy stuff from Mirra saving 2 BPs to hold
Mirra 4-2

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Not her best tennis today from Mirra, but what she does best is fight for every point and her response has been great so far in this match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a drop shot from Mirra!
Mirra leads 5-3

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There is the bhand up the line from Mirra, just brimming with confidence at the moment

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Mirra will serve for the 2nd set 5-4
First time on a HC that Mirra has played close to Sabalenka, as I did mentioned she has improved since their last match at the AO, where Saba dismissed her with ease. 61 62

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sealed in styled with a love service game Mirra wins the 2nd set 64
That was a confident statement.
Going 3
( back shortly I hope I have to take an overseas phone call from my daughter, gee kids ring you at the worst times lol)

 

[Hoergren]

Not so bad Clara to loose to the champion - congrats - and she thanked herself again - cute.

 

[El Dude]

Wow, was not expecting that after the first set. I'm getting a vaguely Seles vibe from Andreeva. Two Masters in a row and rising super fast.

 

[kskate2]

Took 2 phone calls and missed sets 2 and 3. Man, the teen queen must have been on fire.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Wow Mirra Andreeva wins back to back WTA1000 titles
Mirra has the mindset of a Champion player
Well done Mirra

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Took 2 phone calls and missed sets 2 and 3. Man, the teen queen must have been on fire.

My daughter can talk and I missed the 3rd set I watch the 3rd set later

Mirra has the mindset of a Champion Player, even when she is not playing her best tennis, she finds a way through grit and determination

 

[kskate2]
