Pammy excited got out of her seat....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Barbie no need to go for the lines?

 

[kskate2]

Oh, that dropper. Not a good choice

 

[kskate2]

Donna didn't break at 3-3 and true to script, she is broken the next game. Saba to serve for the set 5-3

 

[tented]

Sabalenka serving for the 1st set. And it‘s still Wednesday in Melbourne.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If Barbie could place her serve better she might find life easier in this match
Trying to go Big, is resulting in DFs

 

[Moxie]

OMG, how much wider could Sabalenka have pulled that shot?

She should definitely serve more to the body. But most WTA won't do it. It's an untold mystery.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That is a great return from Barbie

 

[kskate2]

Saba serves it out 6-3

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was a complicated 1st set 63 to Saba

 

[kskate2]

It's a very nervy match and the quality isn't great.

 

[Moxie]

First set Sabalenka. Whew!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Barbie 9 DFs and 1/10 BPs not going to cut it

Passing Pammy some medication she needs to 'chill'

 

[kskate2]

After seeing some of Linette today, it's not a given Saba will get to the final. Magda's defense is outstanding, her serve sneaky effective and I can see her forcing a ton of errors.

 

[kskate2]

Too much poor serving and errors, Barbie is broken again. 0-1

Let me think about it, make a prediction, then we’ll know the opposite will happen.

Saba up a double break its all over Red Rover
