Bianca should be crushing returns. Tormo's putting in 80 mph first serves.

Back on serve in set 1 after being down a double break. Keep it going Bianca!

Just make her run, she's playing from so far behind the baseline.

Yup, that's what Leylah did in her match against Sorribes Tormo, Tormo was just floating the ball back and Leylah was playing in the forecourt and using angles well to hit shots that Sorribes Tormo had no chance running down.

Bianca is just teeing off on that Sorribes Tormo serve which is right in Bianca's wheelhouse. Down 3-love, wins the set 6-4. Nice.

Bianca is an incredibly smart player.
Took her a few games to figure out strategy and get timing on all that topspin, and proceeds to win 5 out of 6 with 3 breaks.

Hopefully B can finish this in two sets to conserve energy.

Well, one thing's for sure, Bianca's conditioning will certainly be tested tonight.

Is the umpire wrong? I thought you could redo tosses.

You can redo tosses, but I think what the umpire was saying is she deliberately caught the toss to get more time for a first serve.

That's BS. Everytime Tormo redos a toss Bianca should yell at the umpire.

Tormo is tired. She keeps going to net.

Just hold once. Tormo's serve is too poor to hold.
