This is my prediction for tomorrow: Maria will have a clear cut game plan and she’ll stick with it, come hell or high water. Anisimova will have to adjust her level of aggression nonstop, constantly tweaking her targets. So excited to see if Anisimova can handle the mental challenge.

Pray for long legged high center of gravity Amanda Anisimova tomorrow against Maria’s slices.

OMG I just saw that Keys was 0-1 on break points. Tatjana Maria the servebot!!!

Maria takes the tiebreak decisively, with a backhand topspin pass down the line, a vicious unreturnable slice backhand approach on second serve, and a perfect slice backhand lob on match point. Match was a masterclass in dumping a low no pace ball in no mans’ land and letting Keys flounder.

Second serve s&v with a forehand drop volley finish for Keys. Let’s see if she does more of that to force Maria to drive her returns instead of floating them back.

It’s really amazing that the score is even in this second set but all the frustration is on Keys’ side of the court.

submitted 16 hours ago • 0 comments

Keys is powering the ball through the wind so Maria looks like she’s playing on a calm day. Maria’s balls are fluttering in the wind and checking up with backspin on the bounce, so Keys is constantly adjusting her position trying to figure out where the ball will be on the bounce.

Slice forehand claims its first victim. Hard Maria slice lands in the dug up area near the baseline and draws a Keys mishit.

Shocking how Rybakina is unable to swing her forehand with extra topspin to bring short balls up and down into the court. She just missed one in the net and one long to lose serve.

Rybakina hits her second beauty of a slice pass to earn break point, then sprays a forehand wide. Her day in a nutshell so far.

submitted 1 day ago • 0 comments

Maria is tied with Rybakina with 5 aces each. 75% first serves and 83% first serve points won. She’s really playing out of her mind, not just drawing errors but playing clever short slices and following them in, often giving Rybakina no option but slice passes.

Maria is forcing error after error from Rybakina. She even hit a fh approach so slowly that it fooled Rybakina into attempting a slice bh pass, which she hit into the net. A Sabalenkaesque post match rant would be totally understandable.

I really hope Rybakina wins this cuz I can’t bear to see Maria torture Madison with those slices.

Don’t want to say Madison is tight right now but she just hit a drop shot 3 feet past the service line. Fortunately for her Shnaider buried it in the net. Going to a third set, which Madison will show up?

Shnaider is getting the full Madison Keys experience today.

Kessler up 4-1 on Zheng in the third. More willing to do grass court things like slice forehands and come to the net.

Wow. Kessler was coming in to the net but got caught out by a ball that would’ve landed by her feet. She quickly reverses and hits a drop shot winner while backpedaling. Such a strange shot that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Giving Zheng a test in the second.

Raducanu’s aggressive second serve return stance pays off in the end. Forehand down the line winner on deuce, backhand down the line forces the error on match point. 67% points won returning second serves.

Sramkova so desperate she tried a couple serve and volleys, though she didn’t make the serves and deprived us of some potential comedy.

Raducanu won the first five games, Sramkova the next four, then five in a row again for Emma. She had points for six in a row but missed second serve returns stepping in and going big. On the brink now at 5-1 in the second.

Sramkova raised her game and runs off four straight games, Raducanu recovers in time to take the set 6-4 after having two set points for a bagel set. Raducanu standing way in on second serves with mixed results.

Raducanu carelessly goes down 0-40, then wins the next nine points to go up 5-0.

Raducanu starting the match on fire, aggressive and decisive with first strikes. I feel like I’m watching a whole different player.

Raducanu saves three match points from 0-40 but catches a strong Kichenok return late on the fourth match point. Fun match to watch, the Brits volleyed better than I expected but the top seeds just had a better feel for the points.

All that crossing must’ve worked. Emma went line three straight times but Routliffe and Kichenok stayed home and hit a volley winner each time, one of them tagging Boulter right in the chest.

Raducanu’s shot hits the tape and skips over Kichenok’s racket. Routliffe covers and hits it off the tape. Raducanu hits the next ball into the tape.

Boulter lobs Routliffe, Raducanu switches sides but crosses again to pick off the next shot. She outduels Routliffe at the net by crossing, then finishes the game with a drop volley. It’s like you’re watching them learn doubles in real time.

Kichenok holds from 0-40 down. The Brits are getting better but they’re still getting caught on poaches, Routliffe and Kichenok way more active at the net. Boulter serving to stay in it.

Really fun to watch the dubs players outmaneuver two superior ball strikers. Routliffe and Kichenok one step ahead of Raducanu and Boulter at every turn, but the Brits just broke back to get on serve in the second.

Classic singles v doubles specialists matchup with Kichenok and Routliffe facing Boulter Raducanu. All four players smiling and having fun, low stakes for the Brits. Obviously the dubs players dominating the net.
