And the first set does go to Osaka.

Osaka wins the 1st set 63.....a feature of her play so far has been her serve and also her 2nd serve,moving well,hammy still heavily bandaged.

I'm still hoping that the caution about the hamstring is just that. She hasn't really shown any ill-effects of it since the SF at G&S.

Also it keeps it protected as well under pressure of running on court.

Who knew Anett could do a drop shot? she is not an 'instinctive volley player at all.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gee Osaka is seeing that ball early and just pouncing on it

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is the Osaka I love to watch

Speaking of the mothers out there, Eva Askeraki is in the chair. I remember her calling even men's matches while heavily pregnant last year. Apparently she had her baby last July (2019.)
