Brain freeze from Pegula attempting a drop shot from the baseline? no wonder if found the net......
Apparently Pegula dosent want to win the 2nd set, she has backed off, too passive now when it counts, with a good first serve, now makes an error with her return, Pegula now decides to be aggressive and guess what she won the point
SP for Pegula and Gauff is lifting and wins the points with a great volley, deuce
BP for Gauff and she is making this 2nd set more physical now, Gauff breaks again, never count this young lady out she will go down fighting
5 games all 2nd set
Jess with a great bhand down the line brings up a couple of BPs, snuffed out by Gauff she is making Pegula work so hard
Back to deuce Pegula with a great volley, Gauff ups again and produces a bhand winner, Jess with a good ROS, back to deuce
This has become of a Tug of War
Remember Gauff was 1-5 in this 2nd set, back to deuce, Jess with a good ROS, I am getting mentally tired just watching this 2nd set, I dont know about either player
Gauff holds and what a turnaround in this match, Pegula had all the momentum in this 2nd set, until Gauff changed things around, up her game and kept her aggressive play, not so many UFE.
Pegula will serve to stay in the 2nd set at 5-6
MP for Gauff as Pegula is just rushing her shots, back to deuce, Gauff played too passive on that point
Over head lob from Gauff long, Pegula holds as Gauff fhand long, 6 games all
A TB for the 2nd set with Gauff to serve 1st
Pegula going after the ball in the TB and it is working, she leads 5-4 in the TB and on her serve
SP for Pegula though we have seen this movie before? Pegula volley long MEH
Pegula with a ROS and yes she wins the 2nd set 76 (5) I need a strong drink..............
Going 3
