Watched it ..... Reckon. Sakkari was really really good but Annete did well in the 2nd
Seems a bit heavy - not a lot of excitement - maybe I've seen her more perky
Thought after the first she was here for pay heck but she really put in an effort in he 2nd
She didn't read the play- Maria always serves in the deuce side to your forehand and yet AK didn't stand there and wait for it
AK can defo be top 50 ist she is fit
Waste
Absolute Mess. Go back to Estonia, learn to hit a Forehand, buy a brain and save us from Fed Cup relegation please. Not having one BP on Sakkari's serve the whole match is nothing short of atrocious. She literally curbstomped this girl every time they played, except when she was injured in Miami
I caught this match with the score 0-6, 0-1 and I thought this does not bode well for the pretty Estonian. However she won the next game being the first game of this match that I had seen at love. Hmm I thought perhaps there is hope that game sure was awesome. But that turned out to be a mirage. One thing I noticed that the Greek sure must have respected Anett’s serve. As this was played on an outside court the TV camera angle showed the action from one of the ends. When the camera was facing Anett serving you got the impression she was practicing her serve as her opponent was not in sight. Even on second serve you barely got a glimpse of Sakkari as she apparently was still well behind the base line.
Everyone knew Kontaveit was only showing up for the paycheque so this performance exceeded expectations.
I like both and Sakkari needed this to cement her top 100 position. Kontaveit just needs to fix her body and health, she's been so unlucky with that in her career.
Mynx wasn't injured, just very very rusty and at times simply bad. Also looks slightly unfit. It's obvious that injury hindered her preseason, but she actually wasn't hindered at all this match and doesn't really have any excuses for not winning it. Sakkari didn't even play that well, especially in the second.
