Sad to see Bianca struggling to get some form back, she suffered injuries as a junior as well, at her best she was one of the best players on tour and I think a future number 1 player, those days have gone.

Yeah she was very good years ago when healthy. A shame.

Agree a real shame

I think Saba woke up everyone in Coachella with that 'Roar' lol! actually seeing Saba play live at the AO this year, her roar isnt that bad, I find it worse when I am watching her on a stream or on TV at times I have to mute.
Saba breaks Osaka and leads 4-3 2nd set
Saba just trusts her serve which gets her out of trouble time and time again
Saba 5-3 2nd set
Osaka really needs to work on her movement., though has kept her numbers up on her serve in the 2nd set 63% overall
Saba will serve for the match 5-4 and a place in the QFs
Well done Saba 62 64 over Osaka, Saba played a 'flawless' 1st set, Osaka showed positive signs, though Saba too good today,
Osaka will either face the winner of Mboko or Anisimova in the QFs

Impressive 1st set of tennis from the Aussie Qualifier Gibson, a big hitter
Jaz gave away easy points, at present there is just no spark in her game
Gibson 75 1st set
Lets see if Jaz can find her spark and will have to take the scenic route it she wants to make the QFs
Thats more like it Jaz you are on the ball and dictating the points winning the 2nd set 62
Going 3

For the love of tennis Jaz this is just poor from you in the 3rd set not taking away from Gibson

Aussie Q defeats Poalini 62 26 61
Well deserved from Gibson
Back to the drawing board Jaz
