Mutua Madrid Open, Madrid, Spain, 2023 - WTA 1000

Ouch! That was a game from the past. I hope she can return her way out of this funk she's in

Especially the way she won it Don. She was in a 3rd set battle and she came from a set down. That will breed a lot of belief and confidence that her serve and nerve held up all that time.

That was a great final and such a good comeback from her. She's a better player since then, but still we can see her oldself back with a game like this, when she leaks errors and throws a DF in there too.

Maybe she got ahead of herself and was looking at the SB, that game may come back to haunt her

But these moments MM and Don are what separates the pack from the very top or the elite
