two from three to seven, including the Wimbledon straight sets victory, when the brackets let a big lead slip in the second set, a championship spot is at stake here tonight, everyone is nervous, but there are pre-

match

questions which are the most tense. I watched Sabalenka come onto the court tonight and surprisingly for Maddie, even though she looked up, which is normal, she was pretty relaxed, so already in this first game it's a good indicator of where they are emotionally. , like you said, she really hasn't been tested. and maybe that's part of sabalanki's nerves, you come out of the semis, you haven't really been pushed, you haven't had to find your A game and this is where she's had the most trouble in the major semis. so many opportunities to get to more big finishes and that's a positive service to the foreign

keys

40 of them, wow, easy frustrations, she's looking at that kind of comeback and that was the setback, yeah, and look, it wasn't really directed so much towards the corner and she just didn't react what return what combination of one-two zoning right now 15-50.

I've never seen her play better. This is a return of old trainer Lindy Davenport's book of hers. Dead down the center and then you go for. the angle isn't going to give her any gravity, she's a shot, you know, she's very deflated right now. I mean, she has to find a way to no, she didn't see it coming. I mean Madison is doing to her what she used to do to everyone. otherwise Madison Keys comes out on fire hitting her highest note in a big

ing set, now she has a chance to break quickly here in the second, it's like the goal. in practice he had to kneel to absorb the rhythm and then that came even faster point of Thrown onto the court for that return wow Keith turns two games to one second for a century Keys has the break in one second and against the opponent who she went crazy after losing the last game, we'll show you, she's been mad at her boss the whole training, remember she had a racket from the coach's box, this is what she did after losing serve D, let's give the racket to a man, even that. short, unforced air comes out everywhere and she left it there in the corner, oh of course, ready, she's doing a good job hitting and moving to the right side of the court, it was there before they hit the ball. sabalanka, the approach hunt and then a great pass with a lot of conviction, she had a lot of pace five or six points away.

Renee and you married Joe, he said he needed five games, really on the verge of a pretty surprising exit, only Versace has had two losses at Majors this year both were long battles overseas. I should mention that all the time Madison Keys should go for the kick again. Renee, I think she might slide. Oh, that's huge. The brave man responded by saving a couple of set points and now. Ty breaks the foreigner and is in control now at 4-1, seven, one, stays up on the champion, a set to decide with no movement apparently affected with a strap, no, but it's not a bad idea to try it well, if you're savalenka, let's see how she moves.
