2023 US Open SF: Keys vs. Sabalenka

[MargaretMcAleer]

K Saba rushed the overhead idoit

 

[Moxie]

Not a bad play, though.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I wonder if Saba has a sore throat after every match she plays

 

[kskate2]

MK has to keep holding. Apply SB pressure. That's how you break Saba down in the decider. Look at all her previous SF fails and it comes down to the decider.

 

[the AntiPusher]

It's funny the kicker serve got her into the TBR then she decided to go back to the flat serve and brick the volleys...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maddie has a good tee serve when it connects

 

[kskate2]

@MargaretMcAleer I'm sure she owns stock in Halls

 

[the AntiPusher]

All she needs to do is return the ball to the center of the court and let Saba beat herself

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

K LOL!

 

[the AntiPusher]

MM that's true but it wasn't connected..stick with the kicker which opens up the court

 

[kskate2]

3 bp's

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The DFs and UFE have come back to haunt Saba she changed her racket

 

[the AntiPusher]

Did you see Saba went wide on the second serve but missed

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maddie Breaks!

 

[kskate2]

see what happens when you hold serve?

 

[kskate2]

you get a chance to break. Now she needs to expect some haymakers to come her way

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

AP Kicker is good, still mixing it up to me is a better tactics

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maddie stop with the cross court bhand to Saba

 

[kskate2]

haymakers promised and delivered. back on serve 4-3 MK

 

[the AntiPusher]

Maddie dont listen. She tried to serve up the T..no no serve kicker first serve or body service
