Agreed, plus it's important to conserve all the energy you can.

Both players came up huge that game. So close for Bianca.

This quality of tennis is worthy of a final.

And yet so far... I think she only had one break point that game didn't she? In a ten minute game? Still good to have the pressure on her serve, bodes well for a tiebreak. But damn, Sakkari really doesn't make a lot of errors for someone who hits the ball so hard.

Bianca's looking like the more tired player, and I don't blame her, this looks exhausting.

She had two, both off double faults.

There is a really annoying person from, apparently, Ajax, in the stands having a very one-sided conversation with Bianca. I assume extremely drunk.

Bianca just collapses there. Looks utterly drained of energy.

Sakkari’s not even sweating, looks like she plans to swim 50 laps when this is over.

Bianca is moving fine though other than that weird fall.

Tense tiebreak coming up.

Difference between this set and the first one is even if Bianca's first serve goes in, it's coming back. Hard.

Back on serve somehow but it seems far less important in this one.

If Bianca loses the set I think I'm going to sleep because this is over. I doubt she hits another ace for the rest of the night.

Yikes. Those ground strokes got sloppy in that tiebreak. Too bad, the chances were there.

Sigh... as soon as that return dropped in by, presumably, about an inch, you knew that was what was going to end up happening.

Goodnight everyone.
