Damn. Finally found a moment that was too big for her to handle. That's tough. Well, still a chance here; maybe have to do it in a tiebreak.

That Leylah forehand down the line is a killer.

Svitolina has made 3 unforced errors this whole set. Frustratingly consistent. Nothing for free.

Well, Leylah is guaranteed a 3rd set tie-break, but I don't want to see it.

Wow, way to dig deep there.

Svitolina is just getting everything back, daring Leylah to go big to beat her. So much pressure on the youngster. Great hold there.

Svitolina is the CPU in pong, so many of these rallies would be over much sooner with most other opponents. if Leylah can pin her for good, she should be able to handle any of the remaining opponents pretty confidently.

Yeah, Svitolina has managed to find a zone where she not only doesn't miss, she gets balls back in play that have absolutely no business getting there, multiple times a rally. In a tiebreak that's going to be rough, particularly for Leylah with her serve being what it is.

Good lord can you imagine if she could serve.

How is Monfils so nervous? He's so goofy when he's on the court.

You see, the reason Svitolina put that forehand in the net is because she forgot to grunt. Pretty close to hindrance at this point.
