Mirra Andreeva could have next, she's 16 and making respectable runs at Grand Slams

Yea she had a solid showing at RG this year until she ran into Gauff

 

[BlackAchilles]

Rublev had Bublik frozen in awe of that winner

 

[BlackAchilles]

Huge hold for Bencic right there

This could be a pivotal moment for her if she can pull off the upset

Massive set steal for Belinda. Iga was definitely the better player until the tiebreak.

Belinda's been standing her ground against Iga

 

[Yapdatfool]

Iga slowing down her serve/play... this might be over for her

 

[malbaker86]

Iga serving to stay in the match

 

[BlackAchilles]

Pure desperation from Iga to hold serve and force the tie break

 

[malbaker86]

Bencic

Bencic

Had Iga on the ropes but started slipping up

 

[malbaker86]

Bruhs tennis players like Borna Coric and Belinda Bencic annoy me. They'll hoover in the top 15 for years and maintain their rankings by having good showing at Masters and 500 level events but never do anything noteworthy at Grand Slams. Hate those type of players.

quoted for emphasis!!

Iga toughed it out

 

[BlackAchilles]

Belinda let Iga off the hook

But if Sabalenka can keep her double faults/unforced errors to sustainable levels then I think she's too powerful for Iga on these grass courts

Don't tell me Vika is about to choke

edit: let me rephrase, don't tell me Vika about not be able to close it out.

Don't tell me Vika is about to choke

Now Svitolina about to choke
