Sabalenka 0-2 Keys* (*denotes server) Sabalenka nets a backhand on Keys’ first serve and after a high volley the world No 14 makes it 40-30. Sabalenka goes wide in the final point and what an excellent service game from Keys to back up that early break.
*Sabalenka 0-1 Keys (*denotes server) Sabalenka starts with a double fault but a rocket of a forehand down the line makes it 15-15. But the Belarusian double faults again and Keys faces a break point … the American works Sabalenka into the corner and breaks the champion serve. Early unexpected nerves from Sabalenka! Has she got it out of her system?
