The problem is power. She has beaten some good opponents, but no one who really hits the ball hard outside of Konjuh who is obviously nowhere near Sabalenka's level. Plus, Ostapenko beat her pretty bad earlier this year. Of course, this seems to be a different player.

Naomi was spraying it, but if Leylah handled that power, then this won't be too much of a shock.

120 MPH serve - That's above average for the men's tour.

Sabalenka is ruthless out there, no way she can play like this the whole time.

Well the first set is almost over and it's been 20 minutes, so she doesn't have to keep doing it for long.

12 of 13 first serves in (12 of 15 now) is just unbeatable though.

That game right there is what has to happen for Fernandez to win this - inconsistent Sabalenka first serve.

I thought she had screwed it up by trying to hit a clean winner at 0-40 second serve. No need to try to hit a winner there. Just keep getting into rallies and run Sabalenka around a bit and hang in.

So we see the inconsistency of her opponent.

Unbeatable the first three games. Error machine that last serving game.

Keep the pressure up! Come on Leylah! Love her poise.
