Man, I just got back and see this is almost over. What happened? It looks like Elena must be in a good mood tonight to bitch slap Saba this way

Saba could not handle the 'controlled aggression' from the start of the match and of course 'imploded' though she has picked up her game in the 2nd set, though still down a break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There you go Saba must have heard me,back on serve in the 2nd set,
4 all,. she must continue to serve well and move forward to the net and end points

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jesus Saba now down love 40 on serve

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rybakina will serve for the match 5-4 and take Saba out of her bloody misery! and mine also!

Coco V said it best, what a collapse!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This Match?
back on serve 5 all

 

[kskate2]

Girl, if this goes to a 3rd set, Elena can kiss this goodbye. Saba's record is really good in 3 setters

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Of course Saba has a love service game
Elena will serve to force a TB for the 2nd set 5-6

 

[kskate2]

she won't hold here, get broken and Saba will be serving 1st in the decider.

Have you got your crystal ball working lol! Saba 75 2nd set
Correct on both accounts, going 3 and Saba will serve 1st in the 3rd set

Coco V said it best, what a collapse!

She absolutely choked

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Actually I cant stand Rybakina's coach, he and Stef;s dad need 'heavy duty duck tape on their mouths' permanently!
Saba should have told him to Shut Up
The Voice also needs to tell him to stop the coaching when Elena is up the other end of the court!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Saba really stepped up her game to add pressure on Elena. This is a good match

This is how both players should have played from the start of the match, pity it has taken soo long to get to this level

 

[the AntiPusher]

4-4 time for a sevice break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel both players are holding their serves well at this late stage of the match, TB is a real possibilty

 

[kskate2]

Iga is eating popcorn hoping Saba takes care of Elena. She does not want to see Elena on clay again so soon after that Stuttgart whoopin

If Elena does win this match, Coco will go to No 2
If Elena wins the Madrid title she will surpass Saba and go to No 3 ranking

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elena will now serve to force a TB for the 3rd set and the match
We have seen this script before No?

I really think Saba is abusing the hinderance rule.. everytime Elena is about to make a stroke,, she has to deal with the screams of nothing
