2023 Wimbledon QF: Swiatek vs. Svitolina

[kskate2]

Gael said that Elina got pissed off by our Keli jajaja

You tell Le Monf to come on back here anytime he wants truth. I can even drop some knowledge in the ATP forum if he's looking for a late career surge.

Wow...first set to Mrs. Monfils! Go, girl!

Playing well with controlled aggression and deserved to win the 1st set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Light rain falling they are going to close the roof, play suspended on outside courts, covers are on them
Players were struggling with the wind, though Elina controlled the wind better

Svitolina could always play and was a favorite of mine, but I really did not see her being able to hurt Iga. Since I am in my office, I wonder what is going on there.

Elina has done her homework well, going hard and flat into Iga's fhand and getting the errors, especially on a fast surface like Grass and HC

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play has resumed on CC and court 1 with both roofs closed

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Elina still switched on, after the break with a love service game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

From 3 games points from Elina to a BP for Iga
Iga breaks and leads 2-1
Iga consolidates the break and leads 3-1, Iga is directing her shots into the Elina bhand and getting errors

 

[the AntiPusher]

Elina was way too careless on that volley. It may cost her this set!

She still hasnt got over it, though held her service game now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great returning from Elina going hard and flat down the middle and breaks back
3 all 2nd set

 

[Kieran]

Iga is not far from the precipice now..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A love service game form Elina she has put that game when she was up 40 love and got broken
Elina leaves 4-3
Iga to me has to change her shots on grass to have more effect, make her shots 'flatter' the spin on a grass court just sits up and gets punished

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

4 games all now 2nd set.....massive hold from Iga

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2 BPs for Iga snuffed out from Elina
Good tough hold Elina
Elina leads 5-4
Big serve for Iga to stay in the tournament

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good love service game from Iga she need that
5 games all 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a cross court passing shot from Elina she leads 6-5
Iga will now serve to force a TB in the 2nd set 5-6
This is like the Bencic match from yesterday lol!

 

[the AntiPusher]

What a cross court passing shot from Elina she leads 6-5
Iga will now serve to force a TB in the 2nd set 5-6

Iga is getting out IGAed (is that a word) jajaja

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There is still doubt in her mind on the grass from Iga, at that last shot she stopped to see if the ball was going in or not? Hmm

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A couple of good trade mark fhands from Iga
We now have a TB for the 2nd set
