First set tie-break required.
Edit: Bianca takes the opening set 7-2 in the tie-break. Encouraging to see the power and variety returning to her game, her movement is also looking great.

I don’t have true commentary to offer other than Bianca looks solid. This armchair coach would like her to tighten up the points and not see them drag so long, something that’s been mentioned on the broadcast. But, she looks good, especially in the tiebreak.

I think this is a great opponent for Bianca tonight, Riske hits a hard, heavy ball and this is allowing Bianca a chance to get her rhythm figured out and she's hitting some nice winners thus far in the match.

Bianca needs to put the hammer down and win this 2nd set, don't give Riske any thoughts or hopes of a comeback.

Bianca never seems to be able to use the easy route.

Bibi, please find the path of least resistance to get this W.
Some of us are in desperate need of sleep.

How does Bianca lose that set from 4-1 up?

If I were there, I’d welcome a third set. At home? Not so much.

These commentators need to embrace the "less is more" approach - Also, stop talking during the rally.

Has Bianca, at any point since the US Open win, ever had a tournament where she looked to anyone like a legitimate contender? The answer is no. She looks like a typically unreliable WTA player.
It's actually what's so great about Leylah. So far, she seems like she just never stops coming at you. You know what you're going to get. It's far from unbeatable but the relentlessness of her game is enjoyably different.

Every service game, Bianca looks either completely dominant, or terrible, with no in between.

This match should have been over an hour ago, Bianca had two match points in set 2 and now we're close to a three hour marathon. This is why she has trouble staying healthy, she needs to limit her time on court.
