I'm curious, Sloane started slowly yet you are saying Saba is imploding..what's the difference

UFE for Saba, I said Saba had to watch her margins, Saba was up 5-1 in this set

 

[kskate2]

Scone 4-2 at the changeover

UFE for Saba, I said Saba had to watch her margins, Saba was up 5-1 in this test ?

Isn't that the same for Sloane , didn't she imploded earlier in the match too

Saba started like a fast train, Scone did start slowly though when you leading 5-1 and go to a TB, Saba should not have let the lead go

 

[kskate2]

Scone put in all that hard work to lose it on 2 errors in the TB

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Scone put in all that hard work to lose it on 2 errors in the TB

She also had some mis hits off her racquet, oh well lets see how this match evolves in the 2nd set, I hope losing the TB wont discourage Sloane

Well she is playing really well..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Sloane a good service game is needed, back on serve 4 all 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh that didnt last long, Sloane broken and Saba will serve for the match 5-4

 

[Jelenafan]

LOL, break of serve for Sabalenka. C’mmon Aryna, bring it home!

ETA: She did it !

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sabalenka d Stephens 76(5) 64 first time Saba has made the QFs at RG she will meet Svitolina in the QFs

 

[Jelenafan]

Elina has a chance versus Sabalenka, with Aryna the challenge is quite simple: can you handle her dilithium crystals level of power…

2 seeds were eliminated today

Watching the replay on TC. The match changed for Sloane when she did what I said yesterday keep the ball in the center of the court and let Saba create her own angles. It's not passive tennis but smart tennis because you have to let ball bashers like Saba, Maddy and Ostapenko beat themselves. That's the formula Sloane used to win her first and ONLY grandslam

Sloane lost the match in the TBR when she was up 5-4. Lazy footwork by not putting foot to ball on 3 out of the 4 last points..Sloane needs to rewatch this match and LEARN

Shame she fought back so well, usually her footwork is good, agree at times she goes lazy with her footwork and it cost her

Bonjour! a beautiful day in Paris,
The Minister of Happiness Jabeur v Pera not many fans inside Chatrier at present, maybe a tad early
Pera has had her serve broken 4 times by Jabeur,
Jabeur will serve for the 1st set 5-2, Jabeur too many tricks in her tool box, though I must say Pera has also put pressure on Jabeur's service game as well, wind has also picked up on Chatrier, making it tricky for both players
Can someone hold their serve please? placement is the key when serving
Jabeur broken while trying to serve for the match, Pera serving 3-5
2 SP for Jabeur and she wins the 1st set 6-3
