Yeah, you got it, TSN picks up the ESPN feed as well as the international feed. I think most of us prefer the international feed where "less is more" when it comes to chatter.

Bianca is certainly on the front foot tonight, not giving Sakkari any time to get comfortable.

I actually don't mind this ESPN combo of Pam, Renee and Mary Jo. It's Cliff Drysdale that is senile and Chris Evert who knows nothing.

Pam Shriver is the Mike Milbury of Tennis. She's an idiot, she's unnecessarily grumpy all the time, and she bafflingly still has a job with a major network.
That's too bad. She hit an excellent cross-court forehand on the break point that could have won it, and credit to Sakkari for getting the ball to her hands so she couldn't make the volley. That break would have been a big deal. This set is not secure.

I like Chandra Rubin, she provides excellent analysis and has a great voice as well.

I’m sorry, Girly. I just can’t with Pam. I’ve tried so hard.

Letting that 15-30 return just sail by hoping it'll be out is unacceptable at this level, as is hitting that high sitter into the net. Brutal. She had the set in the bag if she'd won one more point in the last game.

Still think Bianca is in good shape. Sakkari can't keep hitting bombs from behind the baseline. Bianca just needs to stay aggressive.
Basic logic, the player standing in the court will beat the player standing outside of it.

Sakkari was playing like complete ####, and is now playing quite well.
Bianca was playing inconsistently, and is now playing like complete ####.

She can. That's her game. I mean it certainly becomes tougher if it goes 3 sets, but yeah, she can do it for a while anyway.
EDIT: Finally a truly strong service game from Bianca there.

Unfortunate, or bad form, that Bianca isn't up a set now. When Sakkari gets that first serve in, it's deadly. Would prefer this to end now, before tiebreaker

That was a strong game from Bianca - Both ladies are knocking the cover off the ball.

Sakkari has eliminated the double faults entirely and is no longer hitting the ball randomly way long as she was to start.
EDIT: Well there's one but that was really because of a good return from Bianca.

The slice backhand has returned for Bianca and it is paying dividends.

Whoever gets more first serves in wins this tiebreak.
