Should use it more often. Against Coco would probably help too.

Emotions get in the way with Saba, we saw it in the final at RG, it is just in her DNA, she plays her heart on her sleeve

 

[Federberg]

She cant beat Saba off the ground, she needs to use slice etc and vary her game

yes exactly she's playing into Saba's game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

yes exactly she's playing into Saba's game

No player can afford to do that against Saba, she has too much power off the ground and her serve is lethal when 'on'

Coco has given everyone the blueprint to beat Saba. Keep it close, use your legs. Don't give her the same ball twice and most importantly let her beat herself.

Also make Saba play one more point, like Coco did at RG

Mark Petchy looks like he is about to have 'kittens' lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Emma using the body serve more often now, Saba has love 30 on her and she holds here serve and consolidates her break leads 4-1
Emma feeding off the crowds energy
Maybe Saba has to re think her game, Emma getting use to the power game of Saba at present
Here comes a point for a double break
Deuce
Great serve Saba holds serve

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba putting more spin on her fhand for more control
Saba breaks back
I love Saba's facial expressions at times she knows she hits a wrong shot
4 games 2nd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Saba has 3 BPs
Saba that was a Brain Cramp btw
Saba breaks and will serve for the match 5-4
Saba playing with Freedom and has 3 MPs
Saba d Raducanu 76(6) 64
Saba will play Mertens next

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

2 seeded players lost today
Madison Keys No 6
Svitolina No 14

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Emma Raducanu has lost points, as she was defending points here last year, now #45 in the live ranking
Katie Boulter is the new British No 1 as Katie went up 3 spots
Lets see if Raducanu can raise her ranking in the coming hard court season
Emma being a past USO champion will receive a wild card into the USO

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW
No press today for Madison Keys due to illness no wonder she looked as 'flat as a pancake' to me, bad luck Madison

Order of Play for Wimbledon, Day 6 Round 3, July 5, 2025

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There has been a rain delay for the womens matches scheduled in the morning
Covers have come off and players have warmed up again on the outside courts
Only 2 CC and Court 1 with roofs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

First casualty of the day seeding wise
Samsonova (19) d Kasatkina (16) in straight sets 62 63

Andreeva (7) d Baptiste 6`1 63, though the score line didnt indicate what really went on in this match, some entertaining points from both players and it wasnt a walk in the park by any means for Andreeva

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rain again play suspended on the outside courts, might be the order of the day with this rain hanging around Meh!
In saying that it would not be Wimbledon without having rainy days!
