Well played Sabalenka. Took a bit more time than it looked potentially but finally got over the line .
Fair play Anisimova for fighting back in the 2nd but Aryna just too good in those situations. She's like a robot. Well done Sabalenka.
Amanda is a new name to add to the top tier, though. (Aryna, Iga, Coco (?!), Jessica.) As contrasted with the Two Emmas’ uninspiring play. (Mirra, Madison, and Elena were nothing to crow about, either.)
I juat hope we can get a couple of players that come yhrough who can beat them semi-regularly just to keep the earlier rounds a bit more interesting. Having said that, I do love watching the two of them play each other.
In the last three meetings between these two the one who loses the first set wins the match. Sinner in four then..
That’s the huge question. Will an FAA or an Atmane or Shelton or Draper or 17-year old Bulgarian rise up to challenge and make things more interesting. Hopefully Jannik’s done with any more naps and will push this to a 5th set.
