Whoops.

She threw that away. Messy half hearted shots.

Sabalenka has done a decent job, asking Raducanu to beat her rather than going toe to toe. Just taken some of the momentum away.

CaptainRAVE · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:38

It’s fallen apart.

manic111 · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:44

Her arm has totally tightened up, getting absolutely no racket head speed or top any more so has totally lost control

Oh that's not so good to hear

manic111 · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:52

She's got to start following in some of her first serves. That body serve to the deuce side would have been an easy volley

She's lucky that Sabalenka's backhand has completely vanished

CaptainRAVE · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:55

What a game that one was. Won’t win a tie break.

manic111 · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:55

That's a huge hold. She might just have played herself back into form with that

The_One · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:56

what a game that was, her choice of shots are questionable tho, serving to the forehand when she was winning everything to the backhand

alcaraz needs to have a word

And just like that, the tensions gone for a second and the racket speeds back.

That's basically the whole sport! Played last night and couldn't hit a barn door, slammed down one ace and was suddenly playing like Federer

Alice In Wonderland · 4 Jul 2025 at 20:58

Oh gosh, that fall was a bit worrying but hopefully she'll be OK!

Yeah, she's not exactly renowned for picking herself back up and cracking on after a tumble

CaptainRAVE · 4 Jul 2025 at 21:00

This is better than the final will be.

Been an interesting one! Sabalenka started horribly, then Emma fell off. Last couple of games have been really high quality though

Merlin5 · 4 Jul 2025 at 21:01

Wow, Emma is doing really well!

Agreed but she's just taken that break which is awesome!

I just hope it's not going to affect the rest of her time playing.

It’s ebbed and flowed, but what a battle it’s been so far.

Exceptional from Sabalenka, no let up in this game.
