Cincinnati 2023, Ohio, US - WTA 1000

Coco 1st set 63....Muchova is very erratic I must say

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Both of them are not holding serve at all.

I feel like that's been a common theme all week. The women's game is turning into who can hit the hardest, and the cost seems to be accuracy on serve.

Anyways, Coco is the best returner in the game.

I disagree Coco is a good returner though she isnt the best returner, go look up Swiatek stats they are the best

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lets see if Muchova can settle down and play her game
The first set saw a lot of UFE from both players, Coco finally held onto a break and consolidated to win the 1st set 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What has impressed me with Coco is even if she misses on her 1st serve, she still goes after her 2nd serve, that to me is something that Gilbert has instilled in her, stay strong on your serve,which payed off especially in her match against Swiatek.

 

[tented]

That was quite a 4th game, but at least Coco held after about 7 minutes.

 

[tossip]

Mucho a plays well in the second set of every match she plays.

 

[tented]

After another marathon game, Coco is up 3-2.

 

[tossip]

Let's consolidate this break ...

Usually Tossip she looks exhausted to me today, maybe its the heat

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco consolidates her break and leads 4-2

 

[tented]

From 40-0 to deuce in the 7th game …

 

[tented]

Nice! From 40-0 to breaking serve. Coco will serve for the championship!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Muxhova is done in this match

 

[tented]

Muxhova is done in this match

She looks like the heat is getting to her.

 

[tossip]

Usually Tossip she looks exhausted to me today, maybe its the heat

Maybe..she looks sluggish to me.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

As a player you have to adjust to the conditions, heat, wind etc

 

[tented]

Two CPs!

 

[tented]

She needs to get more aggressive, and not just defend, sending the ball back.
