One thing Coco must to in this match is serve well, I know she has been tweaking her serve, keeping DFs low is a good step in this match

I see Iga is up a break and serving 2-1 in the first already.

Gauff is really close to breaking Iga, though. This is going to be a good match.

Please take your Gauff sunglasses off
Coco is serving at 46% first serve ? that alone is not going to cut it
Iga is clutch when facing BPs by the way
Maybe you and I are watching a different match at present
Double break now for Iga leads 4-1

Love service game from Iga she leads 5-1 1st set
Better service game from Gauff, she has to mix it up more, try to break Iga's rhythm
Iga will serve for the 1st set 5-2

Coco is playing well in her return games. If she can just hold her serve (and that's a big IF), she could make a match out of this like Andreeva did yesterday against Sabalenka.

If Coco can't hold her serve, well, all of this is a moot point and Iga is going to run away with the match.

No she is not returning well, Coco's fhand again is letting her down? apart from poor serving percentage
If she was returning well she would not have been down a double break in the 1st set would she?
Iga's heavy topsin is causing problems
Saba was very ill in that match against Mirra she had to go to the medical staff after the match

Iga won this RG when Osaka let her off the hook.
Well that was a match that Osaka should have won, thats yesterday lunch also it was under a closed roof
Different conditions when the roof is opened for Iga and the sun is shining

Yes, Naomi missed for in the blew given to match points, but pressure does that people. The fact is that when she was damage claim the Polish superstar hit a cross-court winner when it counted and that is all a Champion does. When she saved that match point, she reminded me of Novak – – it was just a matter of time and the match would be hers.

Immediate break back form from Iga
This 2nd set is much more competitive
