Noooo..from 40-0 up... Jo gets broken again to lose the second set.. She saved the first set point, but unfortunetly, hit her forehand long, to hand Sakkari the second set point...

Sakkari has upped her level... The first few games in the final set will determine the outcome of this match.. Whoever gets the momentum in the first few games I feel will go on to win this.

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

Oh God, Jo stay away from the net, that was awful. Remaining solid on serve and from the baseline is the best way to take this.

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

Damn, Sakkari's brought out this high kicking second serve, which Jo is struggling with.. Sakkari holds to lead 2-1 in the final set.

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

Jo keeps missing that down the line backhand shot...She's also not dealing very well with Sakkari's dropshots. She needs to be mroe patient.. Oh God, two BPs to Sakkari with an awful UE.

First BP- hits a fantastic forehand DTL.

Second BP- Sakkari takes it with a massive forehand... Eeeek!

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

Argghh..a real chance for Konta to break back in that set but unfortunetly handed it back to Sakkari with an error of an attempted forehand dropshot....

Jo really should establish early on in matches in her dropshots/volleys are actually working and if they are not, just avoid them at all costs!

 

[Mr.Sparkle]

That was just too good from Sakkari.. Brillantly timed dropshot.

Jo serving bombs out there. The best I’ve seen her serve since 2017. Takes the opening set 6-1

Best I've seen her return too. Hitting backhand return winners or just big returns to take control of the point.
