Breaks and gets to serve first in the 3rd. Come on, Naomi!

 

[Vince Evert]

saved again. this game is very important

Good to hear it's becoming a competitive final.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Osaka to start serve in third set. Osaka has definitely found her rhythm. We will see what happens in set 3. It is good to see Vika back at this level though.

Naomi could run away with the match at this point. It could be a 6-1 final set. But I hope not.

This game at 5:3 tells me that Vika has no chance in the 3rd set. I hope I am wrong.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It is essential for Vika to get her first serve in,in this final set,like she did so well in the 1st set

Yeah. Those 2nd serves are what lost her the 2nd set.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well it isn’t easy to maintain getting your first serve in Vika was getting like 85-90% in that first set. There was no way she was going to maintain that.

 

[kskate2]

Vika, that dropper isn't good enough against NO

 

[kskate2]

And now here come the DF's. BP's for NO

 

[kskate2]

sweet FHDTL to save one

 

[kskate2]

she can't save the other. NO leads 3-1

 

[Moxie]

Vika fell out of the zone.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on Vika you had 3BPs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Noami ball toss off again,she needs to bring it back a little to the right

 

[kskate2]

big hold after 0-40. 4-1

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Ouch 3 break points to 5 straight points to Naomi.
