The Ukrainian is not going away as she breaks back for the second time in set 2. Hitting some very good positive shots in amongst the moonballs.

7-5 3-3*

Ukrainian breaks for 5-3. Emma needs to fight back now. Doesnt want a third set. May run out of steam.

She was so in control but she kept playing badly when ahead in games. I wonder if she's got nerves that this would be her first final since 2021...

Broken again.3-5*

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Emma's serve could and should be a strength if someone could truly help her work consistently on it, not that anyone's around for that long. Instead just now it's relatively lob it in and try not to double fault.

Emma in a 3rd set. How does that usually end?

Taken a break before the third. Seems like a good idea.

Treatment on the shoulder. I can see the reason for a loss if it happens.
Big set coming up. Really won't have a better chance to make a first final after US open. Her opponent is playing at a decent level though. First few games will be huge. Emma will either stay in it or fade away to another 6-1 final set surrender. Really don't know how this will go.

In the last 4 - bakery products against Emma.

As far as I can see, she has not won a third set since June, losing her last 6.

I should think it is hard not to get irritated by all that moon balling and lose concentration. You just have to be very very patient and wait for her to make a mistake or for a certain chance to open up.

 If you play too passively yourself she is quite capable of ripping a good shot past you. I'd say that the coach ( Alexis? ) was quite right to be saying really go for it when it is on.
