Not often you see a player 3 games away from winning the match lose 6 straight like that and whomever edited the highlights didn't do a great job on the 3rd set.
I did manage to capture the 3rd set live (occasionally on youtube you will find WTA matches being streamed illegally) and Sasnovich just played incredibly well from love-3 down. The other thing she was doing was standing way inside the baseline on Leylah's serve and crushing returns. That's the biggest thing holding Leylah back right now, her ground strokes are fine, her serve needs to be a much bigger weapon.
