changes serving in and around the [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I mean my goodness [Applause] oh big for a backhand return from Ani Moa m not been without error in this but more often than not she's been very solid off tried to go big on the forehand probably didn't need to go that [Music] big well played that's more like it [Applause] Court midcourt oh great play what a way to seal the first set with a clean backhand winner for the but anim MOA not hanging around at the moment one and two in the opening rounds t for orango to try and find some momentum here her opponent has rattled off the last four games now well that's a good hold for the quartery nicely put away by Nim MOA such a clean swing on that nice footwork from oranga Nimble across the court that's a bad Mish hit that's an excellent Drive volley not easy especially running forward former Wimbledon quarterfinalist and rolon garos she is break point down here though and that is long MERS no doubt frustrated with herself concentrate being said but Ani MOA disputing the call oh good footwork again from Morango well this is much more like it and a heavy slice of luck there for anim MOA that's a massive forehand return another big backhand this time and again from an MOA absolutely rattling off the winners and that generally it has been him over in ch and another mistake there played the point really well foothold here in the second and another over hit on the forehand side well that's three well it can be low percentage chenis at times but and it work she doesn't miss that one arango being kept constantly on the [Music] [Music] defensive that's a fine inside in forand return from anim MOA and another one swatted up the line well played rolled it up the line time to [Music] left herself open on the approach and put away neatly by arango that's an [Music] Rango but some gutsy turn from the Colombian and some errors like that from anim MOA ver can understand an M's rustiness hits the ball so hard and so fast when she's in that sort of [Music] Rhythm and a well executed drop shot and orango didn't really get a snip of a chance in that service game [Music] well good footwork good hustle from arango but could [Music] over a little bit of anger in that smash maybe from arango and positive way well a strange Miss but and she takes the opportunity another error first percentage stubbornly just above 50% that's nicely [Applause] done watch the ball carefully onto the [Music] well she wins the point after the frustration this is by distance that second serve not seen many doubles in the match [Music] any well unbelievable defense Morango but she couldn't keep hanging [Music] on well anisimova can't believe it crucial really to her even staying in with the chance wasn't much behind it but bad Miss from Missy mvy you have to say [Music] and it's another eror and it's almost unbelievable that the overhead at the back of the court on the first point that's more like it she does punish another well it's again very low percentage chennis to take on a Rango is defended well and that's Miss Long miss him over again [Applause] a much more clearly got the weapons but over hitting has been a massive issue for her and it's one eror and unbelievably she's done it we go to a decider the American appear she never seems to give up that's a delightful back hand a swish of the rackish one [Music] [Music] that wasn't an easy shot and that's a great chance that's an absolutely huge backhand return and too many of incredible noise elsewhere here at lar maika at the Madrid Open crowd here over hitting again and it's him overa if she doesn't get a grip on it again apologies if you Nim moar a little bit of luck gets one of those and it's a break of serve back straight away for emilano arango [Music] can she channel the frustration in a more striking now can she make her opponent feel the pressure too much on the slice [Music] straightforward hold for arango she surely [Music] [Music] it's uh another strange Miss [Music] got to it no it [Music] was again it's highrisk stuff from anisimova it's not paid off and the and it is a break of serve could that be the decisive [Music] [Applause] break good hands backhand drop volley even in these [Music] a bit of frustration in that return but very good strike of the ball she knows how big a point that was well that's a beautifully angled backand and she does break back that's a response of Great Character [Music] oh she's made it with a roar of delight for orango onto the line had to make it inde did [Applause] [Music] good defense initially from Morango but in the end worn down by the power of the forehand didn't need to make the volley the approach was good enough what body language is changed now from Aim overa now she's getting her range back a bit here and is him over well slightly strange shot selection there [Applause] it's dropped in and anim M gets made it onto the line seeing some of that attacking ability anissimova follows it up with another very nice double-handed angled back hand that from but he him over to [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's excellently done put it away ruthless with that forehand [Music] G well there's big pressure on her Rango here but she has much better return from an [Music] and that's a gutsy hold of serve for Aang crowd increasingly getting right behind arango prisim overa to throw in a double fold four to one [Music] wild card at this tournament the 2022 [Music] quarterfinalist missed [Applause] it over hitting again and orango has done it and isima just cannot get the job done [Applause] that's a bad time to throw in a relatively rare double fault over the course of the match for wasn't much behind that serve either missed the volley puts it away and Nim over breaks backto back breaks of serve here on Court and Nim over misses again on that four hand [Music] and that's one of the better exchanges of the match and the point w by the dogged [Music] Colombian it's drifted long it was a good call by Nissim MOA to let it drift before though at just three points away oh no that's uh you can't believe a Miss like that really that's a wonderful end to a magnificent [Applause] point and she's got the break that's the story of anisim over's match
