Keep running her ragged Mirra.
She's nowhere near as fit as you are!
You don't even need to go for winners at this point.

She was cruising at 30-0 and suddenly got distracted with something and double-faulted. Didn't win a point after that. She should already be heading to the locker room but she keeps giving lifelines to a never-say-die player, which is a dangerous thing to do.The one thing with Mirra is she needs to slow down and take some breaths, don't let things run away. She rushed that game and got broken back. She's still the better player but has some maturing to do. Saw it in Brisbane as well and through last year.
That was a legitimate distraction that she complained about.She was cruising at 30-0 and suddenly got distracted with something and double-faulted. Didn't win a point after that.

I don't question the fact it was distracting, I just want her to work on her mental consistency.That was a legitimate distraction that she complained about.
I saw the whole thing develop.
Ball kids need to be trained to just leave it alone!
It was a ball that had rolled astray. So by the time the kid had retrieved it and was running back into position he was clearly
in Mirra's line of vision.
I was distracted by it just watching her serve!
She managed to win the first set tiebreak with a couple of shots hitting the outside of the line. Todoni practicing her "I can't believe this ****" face.Also, in her first match since choking the Final of the WTA Finals, Zheng Qinwen is doing some more choking.
She led 5-3, had a set point on Todoni's serve, then when serving for it herself she had 3 more set points but got broken. Now Todoni leads 6-5.
Ugh, I watched that match. That was torture!Same with Jana Fett when she had Wozniacki on the ropes... and the rest is history.
I was so upset at Zheng choking the WTA Finals I can't even fathom being her fan.
Same with Jana Fett when she had Wozniacki on the ropes... and the rest is history.
It truly was, I remember vividly a number of us here commenting on the match, I think a few of us even joked and said watch Caroline go and win the whole tournament now. And that she did.Ugh, I watched that match. That was torture!
This in insane. Two matches featuring both gs winnersSome seriously good 1R matches:
Sabalenka v Sloane
Andreeva v Bouzkova
Gauff v Kenin
Osaka v Garcia
Ostapenko v Bencic
Svitolina v Cirstea
Navarro v Stearns
Kalinina v Jabeur
Alexandrova v Raducanu
Swiatek v Siniakova
Also Swiatek v Siniakova. Former #1, current #2 and 5x slam champ vs the current doubles #1.This in insane. Two matches featuring both gs winners
And one between gs winner and gold medalist
I didnt include siniakova because she is doubles specialist. That match shouldnt be a threat for iga.Also Swiatek v Siniakova. Former #1, current #2 and 5x slam champ vs the current doubles #1.
And Osaka v Garcia. Both unseeded now but a former #1 and 4x slam champ (twice here in Melbourne) vs former top 5 in singles Garcia.
well gauff is the only one to beat sabalenka on gs hc recently and has the game to run everything down. that being said iga is probably eating nails waiting for another chance at her after united cup lol@Mark-Touch can you edit the poll to let us change our vote? Wish to switch to Sabalenka. Had voted Gauff.
Thought the same thing and Gauff beat Sabs at the WTA Finals. But Sabs is unstoppable at these hard court slams and didn't struggle to beat Gauff in the SF here last year. Hearing that stat has me wanting to change back to Sabs. Seeing her in Brisbane crushing Andreeva in the SF for revenge for the French Open QF loss was something else. Sure she dropped a set to Polina but still won the final.well gauff is the only one to beat sabalenka on gs hc recently and has the game to run everything down. that being said iga is probably eating nails waiting for another chance at her after united cup lol
She's on 9 Ls in a row any draw is brutal. Not sure what her previous record (after that US Open win).Brutal draw for Sloane
Just edited it.@Mark-Touch can you edit the poll to let us change our vote? Wish to switch to Sabalenka. Had voted Gauff.
Collins getting night session for Margaret Court arena while #2 Swiatek and #7 Pegula v Aussie Joint get relegated to John Cain Arena (which is included in ground day tickets) is wild to me.
Collins is the most entertaining player on the lineup.Collins getting night session for Margaret Court arena while #2 Swiatek and #7 Pegula v Aussie Joint get relegated to John Cain Arena (which is included in ground day tickets) is wild to me.
