6-3, an easy first set for Jabeur. Basically one player has great variety and a ultra high tennis IQ and the other player has a impressive power game but is afraid to play in the forecourt and now her nerves are rattled, too. It will be hard for Rybakina to get back on track against somebody as smart as Ons. (Then Elena immediately breaks at the start of the second set, ha, ha).
2nd set: 6-2, Rybakina. Did not see this coming at all. Elena gained confidence, even hit a couple of forecourt winners, while Ons became increasingly frustrated by her missed opportunities.
3rd set: Another miss from Jabeur and Elena breaks in the first game again..... 3-2, Elena up a break. A real nailbiter. Will Elena hold her nerve? Will Ons stop being her own worst enemy? Who is Tom Cruise rooting for?...Rybakina comes back from a nervous love-40, 4-2. Wish both these women could win.
5-2 Elena with two breaks but she is an awful closer. She closes it out, though, showing about as much emotion after the final point as if she had just won a first round match in Des Moines, ha, ha.
