Azarenka breaks the second half in the second set!

Group B: Osaka 1-6, Azarenka 0-2 *

Osaka’s bad day at the office takes a turn for the worse as she falls behind in love – 15 then 15-40 on her serve, giving Azarenka two love-breaking points. Osaka saves the first goal with a header in the afternoon, 93 mph down the middle. But Azarenka converted with a backhand at the next point and is ahead in the second set.

Azarenka breaks in the seventh game of the first group!

Group A: Osaka 1-6 Azarenka

Osaka chips in an unintended No. 13 serving and suddenly Azarenka is three points off the set. Osaka hit back and won at 93 mph, only for Azarenka to push them to the tie. From there Azarenka finished the group, defeating Osaka for the third time in 26 minutes with a back kick.

Group A: * Osaka 1-5 Azarenka

Still swinging in the opening match, Osaka mixed in the 10th and 11th easy mistakes Azarenka made in the 40-15 race. Osaka nudged the ball to overtake Azarenka’s foul, followed by a 10-kicks-winning forehand. But Azarenka held on easily from there to consolidate the break and Osaka would work to stay in the first set.

Azarenka breaks in the fifth inning of the first group!

Group A: Osaka 1-4 Azarenka *

Azarenka nudged it to 30 goals in the Osaka service after Osaka’s eighth smooth foul (against two winners). Osaka then misfired for her second double mistake of the day to break point … and Azarenka switched it over as Osaka pushed a long forehand early in a starting rally. Vika rises a double break after only 17 minutes. Osaka’s serve is well below the level we are used to seeing in this tournament (or in either of the previous two major tournament finals).

Azarenka remains ahead after drifting into another easy grip. She won eight out of nine in her serving.

Group A: Osaka 0-1 Azarenka *

The Osaka Scribble Service game, which starts with an unintended foul from a forehand, begins at the end of a 12-stroke core rally. You only score a base winner on the next point at a speed of 15-40, and give Azarenka a pair of early point break chances. She saved the first, but gave Azarenka the break with another incorrect frontal blow in the second.
