Funny, I saw at least 2 times in that rally where she could have came in and put the volley away because Simo was stretched out. She won the point anyway, but it shows she's not sure when to come in

Did you notice she won the toss and elected to receive? Probably didn't want to get broken in the first game.

That started in my day! You usually served first when S & V was a staple back in the day! You wanted to always be up in the set if serve held! I think traditionally women break more than hold serve so receiving is almost a given with some players! I know I went all out attacking someone's 1st serving game while still cold! If I blew it, we still were on serve! :astonished-face: :yawningface::fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

more wild shots. I don't understand. If you're going to pull that down the line, bring it in a few inches.

Beatriz wild shots all over the court, I cannot see her coming back from this now, she had her chances and could not convert,wrong game plan for starters.

I'd be very surprised if she comes back as well. If she can't break Halep's weak and predictable serve in this match, there's no hope today. She can go home and watch the tape and see where she fell short.

Of course Beatriz gets into another Slugfest with Halep and commits a UFE trying to go down the line
