Tough first set. Did well to hold in her first game, but then the set pretty much ran away from her. 1-6. Just the 2 points won on Iga's 4 service games, and one of those was a DF.
I'm warming up for Emma's match tonight by currently watching her v Belinda Bencic at US open. She lost the first two games but didn't bat an eyelid and just got better and better. Sadly, it seems to me that at 18 she was a much better player than she is now - I hope to be proved wrong tonight.
It's not even remotely close.
I suspect she is currently carrying an injury that is hindering what she can do but even then, the lack of penetration on her shots is extraordinary. So many major problems with her game right now.
Iga was in devastating form. If she aimed for the line she hit the line, if Emma aimed for the line the ball landed just over the line. Nearly every shot of Iga's turned to gold, whatever she tried she couldn't miss. Emma got taken out of her game early on and never recovered.
