Keys 1-0 Gauff* Gauff makes 15-30 then sticks in the next point until the error arrives – that’s what we said at the start about making Keys hit a lot of balls. And looking to force the issue next rally, Keys goes for too much, overhitting an attempted forehand winner to return the break immediately. Neither player has settled yet.
Keys 1-0 Gauff* (*denotes server) It’s a shame and maybe even a scandal that Chatrier is so sparsely populated for so big a match. And its first point tells us plenty about how it might go, a long rally ending when Keys – my pick, if you’re pushing me – hits a forehand into the top of the net. But a forehand winner soon gives her 15-3o, Gauff then goes long to hand over break point, and a further error, a netted forehand, gives Keys an early advantage.
