That's the point right there, that's what her gameplan should be. Just hang in there with her and get your chance to hit that shot, and it doesn't need to be anywhere near a line.

EDIT: Uh oh. No more of those please...

EDITEDIT: Yep, there it goes. You could see it coming too with the fault on the first point when she won it on the second serve.

Is there a plan to not double fault?

Drop shot was the right shot, just lacked execution.

It wasn't necessary to hit a drop shot there, but yeah, it definitely wasn't necessary to hit one right on the line. She was just a little too pumped up there.

I just really really hope she can get the first serve in here... this is a good start.

Hahahaha holy crap, that shot after Kerber hit it out to make it 40-0... my god.

This is also as good as I've seen Kerber play in awhile.

Exactly, this is 2016 Grand Slam Kerber level.

Edit: that last point is case in point.

edit 2: And that last point as well.

Hmmm...all of a sudden those Kerber forehands that were clipping lines are sailing long.

Edit: Okay, I'll shut up now lol

Hahaha, yeah... There's a reason I didn't want to post until it was done - It's a tiebreak. Anything can happen.

If she could serve like Kerber, who isn't even a big server, this would be over.

Leylah (aside from the double faults) is playing better today than she did against Osaka, in my opinion. Kerber is also playing top drawer tennis.

Oh my, that 30-40 miss could prove costly.
