AO 2026 Semi Final: Sabalenka v Svitolina

[britbox]

Sabalenka called for a hindrance?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elina is holding her own at present

 

[britbox]

Yes, she's playing well. What did you think of that hindrance call? Seemed a bit harsh to me.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba made a noise after she hit the ball the crowd booed the umpire

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Agree it was too harsh

 

[britbox]

Good break by Saba. Great power, really drilling those returns.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

She is just lethal on returns Saba

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elina has to mix it up more she can't over power Saba from the baseline

 

[britbox]

Yeah, as good as she is at redirecting power, it's still no substitute for being able to generate your own. Elina desperately needs to hold here.

 

[britbox]

5-2. Elena still hanging in though... You never know with Saba if you refuse to go away.

 

[britbox]

First set Sabalenka

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba breaks 62 1st set

 

[britbox]

Elena breaks. This could just get interesting. Saba's first serve has gone AWOL.

 

[britbox]

Saba ranting at her box

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba with a poor service game and Elina breaks

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba ranting at her box

Lol

 

[britbox]

Momentum swing.

 

[britbox]

Sabalenka steadies the ship.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elina you can't beat Saba from the baseline

 

[britbox]

That might be curtains for Svitolina.
