Yulia Putintseva vs. Wang Xinyu Full Match | 2024 US Open Round 2

women singles match going to get things underway on serve she's in the near court against Julia Putin saber 151 31 4 L start by Wong so far two balls coming up the line the serve Ace and then that ground stroke off the Baseline game one how about that a one minute hold to start long will feel good about that comes from a sporting family her dad was actually a tennis coach for the Chinese Federation for many years still travels with her but is now coached by Goran toich and we mentioned that Olympics silver medal also won the doubles last year at Roland garos with Shu way so we've had a lot of a lot of different successes for Wang jinu in her young career at 22 Putin SAA one of two kazak women here in the singles draw remaining also Elena rakina 20 champ Tiny But Mighty is Putin SAA f fo 4 packs a punch from the Baseline 15 a nice souvenir for someone in the stands there's the coach of Putin SAA they've worked together since earlier this year Matteo d a former touring Pro from Italy they knew each other from the Juniors Putin SAA hired him just at the end of last season 15 Toady reach 160 in the world they won their first title together at Birmingham earlier this year she be Isa tomanovich Putin SAA in that final on grass that was just a couple weeks before she upset eish fiant at Wimbledon what a huge win for Putin Saba 30 15 14 15 Putin sa is one of those players too Sam that just she always backs herself doesn't she no matter who's across the net from her absolutely that's what makes her such a great competitor week in week out oh oh there's that power off the back [Applause] end a great angle from that position in the court there really using a left hand well all well wow just made it 99% out is 100% % in that's the electronic live line calling here that we have you see the cameras all around the court nice hold for the 30th seed to get on the board Putin save was not happy with that call but got to let it go got the holds [Applause] that might be a play we see a bit from poens today I think Wong can have the tendency of getting a little far behind the Baseline especially when returning as well good awareness there from Pensa see your opponents back behind the Baseline [Applause] there scoring toich the coach of excuse me mtin I'm going to we're going to go with Goran toich sure's yeah Sam's got it too Goran toich is who she signed in with we discussed that this morning on practice that's all right Goran toich has been now with Wang jinu for a little bit there can be a coaching Carousel out there on tour right it's hard to keep up Sam even for our Graphics team G toich as Sam was telling me off air has been on tour for a long time now and that's a smart move from Wong to have someone who really knows the tour as she tries to slowly make her way up the rankings [Music] [Applause] ladder so first point of tension here here on the Wong serve 7 minutes into this match just getting settled both players oh that's tremendous hitting from both and SAA with the patience there break point to look at here oh and misses that one wide W so the break to Putin SAA early door is here but she's got the lead any surprises here so far just that mishandled ball from Wang Jen Yu now three unforced errors off her side yeah three unforced errors but she's hit four winners so still in the the positive but that's what tennis is it's about winning the important points and first bit of pressure there on serve in this second service game for her and little unforced era so I think we'll see puttina probably trying to extend some of these ra I feel like if if she can extend them that's where she's going to really uh probably be in the positive here yeah we mentioned Sam that head-to-head it is 30-0 W xen Yu but man all of those matches have been really tight including a nearly 3our match last year in Osaka and then hen that was over 2 hours 63 in the third so take what you want from that yeah I see tennis is a matter of a few points here and there so you can see a score line 63 in the third but potentially one break of serve one point the difference and the results very different oh out 15 LEL W there's some huge power off the four hand Wing that time from Wong 6 feet tall played in The Doubles here with Jang saai they lost in the first round actually to Bolter and Kalen skaya little bit of an upset there 3 15 oh what a return caught it perfectly wow from deep in deep in the court too great timing off that ball maybe a little luck there as well Bo and SAA trying to consolidate this break out 14 nice first serve right into the body good action on that ball [Music] [Applause] and able to get a little extra zip on those ground strokes there so much power from Wong off both Wings oh Sam there's that drop shot play again Advantage 14 [Music] really good serve there and then a couple of different options there I was waiting for the forehand down the line so very well disguised there with the the drop shot and also Crosscut drop shot which isn't the most regular way to use that shot a and then the slice back hands so indeed Putin sa consolidates the break is she going to be well served to try to mix up the pace as much as as she can today well I think she needs to try and do that that's what she does well it's an asset of her to mix in her slice occasionally when she wants not just if on defense running but she can just throw it in there change the tempo of the rally and against someone like Wong who likes the ball coming onto her likes the pace I think it's smart to use those different variations that you have oh oh look at that hitting seven winers for jenu [Applause] 15 so three of three now on the drop shot attempts for Putin saver I'm going to start a tally cuz I think we're going to see a few of them today as long as it's working hey stick with it that one wasn't even a perfect drop shot youd say but it brings your opponent in off the Baseline maybe somewhere where they're not quite as comfortable [Music] [Applause] 15 hugely successful tennis event for China at the Olympics of course with Jung chin Wen winning the Olympic gold in singles Wang jenu Tri uh partnering with triple Z as we call him Jung xien in the mix doubles that time it was Putin SAA opening up on the return and again putting pressure on the Chinese player serve here yeah pouncing on that second serve opportunity there 30 all [Music] 143 [Applause] stay on long side there that time it was her that was changing up the pace of that rally hasn't quite gone her way yet so far today there's Goran toich second time a charm Advantage 14 here's a point for a double break lead for Putin SAA oh [Applause] yeah that's a nice play for Wong to get into net [Applause] there once again a lot of these points trying to be dictated from Wong's racket there that time paid off moving forward does she need to get in more I think if the opportunity presents itself you see open racket face from your opponent all right well there first ill advised drop shot attempt Putin saver earn jinu a game point after fighting off the [Applause] brakes aduse longest game so far of this match still just 20 minutes old hello Advantage 147 well long Drew Julia in there but then tried to get too cute with that ball see different layers of both these women's tennis so far this game starting to feel more pivotal in this first set [Applause] Advantage 14 T pu sa one of the only a few players who likes the drop shot off both her forehand and backhand sides so w has to be aware as soon as she sees that grip change on that forehand she needs to be ready to run forward on her toes here's a second serve look this is the third break point of this game oh Putin SAA just does not do enough with that return [Applause] though Wong makes her pay you see just in the middle of the Court there right in the strike zone bright point up try and get a little more on that that's nice there's some of the doubles evidence from Wong Advantage Wong much better approach then to then earlier in this game had her opponent On The Run set that up really closed the net well there actually after the after the smash has saved three break points in this game oh what a run down from P sa cuz that was a great drop shot from Wong this was really well executed Sam yeah very good that didn't went around the net to did it great foot speed yeah showing a athleticism Advantage One well about half those 26 minutes we've spent in this fifth game here's another game point how a look at it there Wong but overran that forehand that's a ball she wants back especially when you see your opponent on the other side of the Court but she she went the right way anywhere on that half would have been good [Applause] enough I wasn't far off no 12 minutes of this 27 minute match in this game seventh deuce oh finds the pocket there just that forehand catches it a little late but keeps the target fourth break point yeah that's well executed Putin sa a fired up she should be she's got a double break lead here in the first set well Sam we know that anything can happen here but that was a big game for Putin SAA to get the double break lead and really establish herself as the front front runner in this match oh absolutely after having multiple break point opportunities wasn't able to take them and take it like that she's going to be feeling good here great lead [Music] [Applause] time [Music] 29 minutes here into this first match of the day on grand stand second round women's singles match and it's this woman Julia putina who is in the driver's seat finds the line there Wong 11 winners today from the 22-year-old from China but she also has 10 unforced errors oh there's a flatness to the Wong Strokes too right that back hand she really can open the face of the racket I don't know if it's the Adidas kit but I'm getting Evanovich vibes from wenu I think she'd take those vibes it's pretty good vibes right Grand Slam Vibes flat stroke from Ivanovich and really used her height to her Advantage love 30 here for Julia oh out 15 15 14 we seen Putin try and use that slightly heavier forehand down the line there that time not enough on it and Wong we've seen time and time again today step up on that backhand side first time she's had a great Point chance [Music] 1 14 Putin SAA just using every angle on the court there keeping that ball low and short I don't think Wong wanted to run anym in that point and of dumps that ball into the net still has break point chance to get one of the two breaks back too much air under that drop shot from Wong ad yeah just way too much height on that ball she was well inside the Baseline Advantage do you want to see Wong doing anything tactically different here here's another breakpoint chance I think she's using her for uh sorry her back can down the line very well M she just tightens up a couple of these unforced eras I think y clearly if we look at the stats winners and errors from both players she's the one dictating a lot of the points they're on her racket SAA just proving to be a wall though Sam only made five unfor stairs today actually Putin SAA the serve numbers aren't that great she's only serving at 59% but has really protected her serve well and been helped by those unforced stairs from Wong [Applause] [Music] Advantage well handled at the net there from Putin SAA [Applause] well there we go that was a aggressive Point straight off the bat returned down the line and then really was ready to step in and take charge there that ball wasn't coming back 13 winners today makes that 14 wow what a ball an even split between the backhand and the forehand too that's our sixth backand winner she's got five off the forehand Wing shows when Putin SAA leaves that ball without enough depth Long's going to jump on it no problem with depth on that point drew the era another long service game here yeah this time on Putin Savers delivery oh well there's the negativity that can creep in for Putin saon she's just got to keep that in check here she's got a double break lead Sam absolutely and that was a that was a tough return too I think she's been a little hard on herself there what do we rate the racket toss half committed to it another break point [Music] now Putin SAA has tightened up the service numbers a little bit now serving 64% she really struggled in the first round against NSA when she didn't get her first Ser in Sam she won only 37% of points mhm yeah she doesn't have the the quickest almost bouncy second serve so making first serves is always going to be very important for her Advantage 14o daady there court side for Putin SAA game point you first double of the day there's some of that pressure that she feels on the second serve 10 minute game I pting [Music] over ad use oh too good Advantage Putin sa we're really seeing Putin saver using that wide serve on the juice and Wong's being pretty predictable with her forehand cross on that return and able to take care of business on that one yeah we hadn't seen that play from her yet today the t- serve for the holds almost a 12 minute service game is the one person Sam 35 to 20 9 in total points played but it's 5-1 Putin SAA has won the important points absolutely tennis can be cruel like that sure can our scoring system double-edged certainly being a closer set than a 5-1 lead would suggest each of the three times they've played the player who wins the first set wins the match so a little extra on this opening stanza love of them go 15 on 15 it's just been the story today for Wang jinu 17 unforced STS know she's going to hit more you usually than our opponent but 15 winners 17 on Force you usually want those numbers to be a little bit in the black for the winners oh Ball's just flying on her a tad bit off the Baseline [Applause] 30 m time the Hop step there on the backand she doesn't mind that one yeah I like when she does that goes yeah who originated that jumping back hands oh off the net cords there and now this is set point 45 minutes we've played aome big Power there from and she's taken the first set the 30th confident coming off that first set score line against a player she's never beaten [Music] [Applause] all right coach ster you got to put your hat on here coaching hat for Wang jenu looks like she was more aggressive there in that opening Point what she got to do to turn the tides here in set two well I mean obviously I like the aggressiveness but I think sometimes she just needs to bring those margins in just slightly give herself a little more space and if be just be willing to hit another ball another good ball if required and actually on this juice side Putin of serve is going wide a lot if she can find maybe some forehands down the line so she can mix that up and then potentially have a backand on that next shot you see again another wide serve now second sered she can take some of these down the line I think she can open up some space 15 13 didn't take your advice there that's a ball that she wants to make regardless of where it's going though second serve that was just 75 miles an hour right in the strike zone 15 14 well that one finds the line on the return and here's a couple break points she's 0 of five today that one found the line too first break of the day and you wonder is that the little bit of lift that Wang xinu needs couple zingers in that game yeah I feel like Putin sa was ready to hit that one Let It Go potentially thought that was going long Wang Jin Yu we mentioned the Olympic silver and mixed doubles she also played singles there at rolling garos the Olympics on clay for the first time since 1992 she lost to Barbara kova and then in Cincinnati lost to Sam sonova in the first round Sam and then had a win over blinkova and lost to the eventual Champion McCartney Kesler at the Cleveland event and then as we said she beat Rodan NOA in the first round 5 she was a top Junior Wang Xin Yu still hasn't had that senior level breakthrough on the the WTA just been climbing slowly little by little moonball works there from Putin sa a little indecisive there from Wang what to do with that I think she thought about going back again hitting one back and decided to for taking it on the rise Wu currently 40th has been as high as 32 in the world that came last October that one finds the line as [Applause] well you told her to bring the Targets in Sam she hasn't done that she's like well I'll just hit the lines thanks thanks for the advice I'm good though if it's in it doesn't matter exactly 17 winners on the [Music] day 40 15 this is where p and sa needs to be careful here she's up a set 61 playing well doesn't want to get in a hole here and start talking too much to herself bringing out any of that sort of negative energy she's still got to lead in this match it can be a tendency for Putin saber that's a known piece of playing her in the locker room 40 30 well handled there from Putin SAA didn't try to do too much with that ball yeah very smart couldn't go for an out right winner here was too far back was happy just to get it down low at the feet for for your opponent to hit up hit a half volley which is never easy and then she got the opportunity on the next ball oh Advantage 147 this is a 405 lead that has now shifted and we talk about how close the points one are W jinu just hasn't really been able to execute today when she's really needed to on return and here on serve use good depth on that second serve though High Advantage boting T Puttin SAA overall three of seven on breakpoint chances today [Applause] ad it's never a bad thing to see your player smiling on court yeah just trying to stay relaxed and then she kind of maybe look little I don't know stop moving her feet on that smash had a little laugh about it Miss had looked over at gorant toich well Wong got up to that drop shot but then just did not make the right choice with her own response yeah had time to do more with that ball potentially could have even hit over it regulation forand oh oh that's an excellent point and Putin SAA gets the break back one game all second set 8 Minute game there how pivotal will that prove to be we've hit the one hour mark we've only played nine games had a few long ones including that 8 Minute exchange we just had Theo Dena there this is legal this these exchanges now Sam the coaching court side some advice on a serve coach the start of a swing take it a little slower can sometimes help find your Rhythm what she's been rushing that stroke a little a little bit I guess in their [Music] eyes so says the coach [Applause] that that's a huge forehand great shot that'll just perhaps stick in the back of P save his mind next time she goes to hit a second serve sa now pulling a little wider on the first serve staying there on the second 1 15 she does t to stand a lot wider than most players and that's where that ball down the line if a Wang's able to make some of those now just change the pattern of play a little little bit 14 15 lead for service game pu so Putin sa breaks back lead by two G to one and by one the [Music] [Applause] my [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] time day four here of the US Open Women's second round action this is the first match on grand stand Nick marara alongside Sam ster and it's this woman Julia Putin SAA who has the lead in this match 6-1 Bron serve in the second set taking on Wong Jin Yu please behind the players thank you Shinu leads their head-to-head 30-0 but it's been pretty one-way traffic so [Music] far Sam ster we've just seen such solid tennis from Putin saver yes it's what we've come to expect from her even there I don't always love a crosscourt approach but she really put something on that slice got it really deep out just lift it on that forehand there m timed it off the frame but overall she's been pretty steady she's had good variety she's moved her opponent around the court on the Baseline pulled her forward with her Drop shots well it's an easy line for us to express from the booth but it's just been those unfor stairs that was the 24th today from Wang Jin Yu that's been her Achilles heel today 15 14 first double fault and now it's starting to really feel like Putin saa's match to win the consistency paired with those unforced from Wong game 14 [Applause] [Music] over 14 over leads by three gamers to one second well usopen.org is your online home for Point BYO live scoring you can find highlights stats and draws everything you need this US Open it's just on usopen.org now it's starting to feel like a a mental battle too for Wong isn't it yeah excuse me yeah absolutely now she's starting to press a little bit more kind of maybe needs to bring a bit more energy again get herself pumped up ready for the fight here thir 11 SAA has been to the quarterfinals here before did it in the pandemic year 2020 also a couple quarters at the French Open 2016 2018 thir for playing for a spot here today in the third round winner of this match gets pishkova or Pini it's the top half of the women's draw anchored by eish Fant that's a good play there from Wang [Applause] jenu just five of 15 though at net today can see a little breeze swirling on this grand stand court that can happen can hear it in our microphones got away that one there little conservative with this approach but made it and Putin saver little annoyed with her there she knew that was an opportunity to do more with that one yeah that approach actually Putin saver didn't seem to get her feet set on it here's a break point to get back on Surf game one Intrigue here Putin sa very frustrated long second on serve in the by one L all right little roller coaster action here as the pendulum swings did you like did you like playing on grand stand guessing you played there a few times didn't you I played on the old grand stand a bunch of times well I remember your uh US Open title run in 2011 you played your semifinal on that grand stand and quarterfinal quarters too yeah yeah so because of all the rain yeah I played a lot out there that was a unbeliev very intimate coure this I mean new grand stands amazing as well but it's a little bigger again more of your conventional sort of rounder Stadium but play one or two matches out there I think some dubs yep so I mean there's so many great Stadium here on the grounds the wind can get tricky though right these quarts it tends to it comes through queens and it kind of swirls when it gets into these venues yeah especially this one so you can see it's quite open up the top twoo so little more comes down and this one's nice for the fans there's a little bit of shade there around the top of the stands too so they needed that yesterday okay where do we go next in this one 1 hour 11 minutes on the clock it's been a lot closer that first set 61 score line but Wang Jin Yu breaks back after losing three games in a row she's been broken today though five [Music] times love she was given a little bit of a Lifeline there in that last game from Putin saver so let's see if she's able to really take advantage of it now with her service game pu SAA threading the needle there 12 winners today for the kazak oh [Applause] [Applause] 15 [Music] [Applause] 15 that outright power is just gargantuan look at this backand so smooth steps in really well [Applause] there's [Applause] he Jin you find yourself Sam in trouble on serve again and we look at the stat sheet on serve today she's just not been able to find the number she needs serving 53% for the day winning only 40 % of first serve points it's pretty surprising for a player who has such a big delivery 3040 and in trouble once again go that's a good one should that's the opposite of a commentator's cur there right hasn't been too many quick easy points so she'll take that one to level this game at juice oh oh no Advantage completely mishit from Putin save on the return but then Wang Janu mishandles it she had so much time to think about that shot too much time what a drop shot clean winner where did that come from that was very very well executed maybe even surprised herself look at that disguise stayed low didn't give it too much height so really stayed low and moved off the court you see Putin saver giving it absolutely everything to try and get to it yeah and pu sa was so fast what a shot just don't that doesn't warrant that response from Putin SAA and that's again where it can really get in her own head this is just a routine Miss pretty good strike though H it clean yeah but better execution on the racket throw too from the earlier one this is game point use and excuse me I'm making light of it it don't encourage that behavior of course but it can show you the tempers can boil quite easily at times this game really turning into an important one third Deuce huge difference between three all and two4 for Wong Jin Yu already down a set Advantage One Goran toich watching court side you can hear some of the mandrin throughout the stadium here Flushing Meadows Queens huge Chinese population heard that a lot in the Heyday of Lina that's a m hit there from H SAA that's a big hold for jinu it's a big turnar around from 3-1 saver almost was ready to run away with this match and a few little errors crept in Wong stepped in a couple of times and now we see ourselves in a more of a battle again certainly looking like she's got a little more purpose in her body language and last game's energized her looks over to the team as she reies to return here suddenly really feeling the touch is w [Applause] malfunction what happened to the sock is that her sock in her hand yeah okay but I have and I'm beding uhoh she said she's so telling Alina Roa in the chair Putin SAA that she's got a blister that's bleeding don't see that on our monitor yeah let's look at this again thanks guys oh just took her shoe off yeah I thought it came off on the Run mid game sock change I haven't seen that before wow I mean Sam ster has been around a while everyone hasn't seen a midgame sock change love 15 here Putin sa have a serving long J You On Target 24th winner today letting out her first big come on too after that that point she senses this an opportunity here what an angle 15 13 is 15 14 Wu has leveled up in these last 10 minutes or so how about our first Ace of the day Putin saver I don't remember a serve going so close to the te either really starting to potentially mix it up she's loved the wide serve out on that juice side saves one of the break points oh that's the best point of the match from Wang jenu and she gets the break 43 now she's the front runner by four gam three in this second set how's the break in hands how about that momentum change or it feels at least to me Sam like that's a big momentum shift Putin SAA had two break points to go up 42 and now it's Wang jenu with the lead yeah this is certainly turned around here big service game coming up here she can keep this momentum and she's had some battles on serve so if she can get off to a good start in this next service game kind of put the foot down and say hey I'm here I'm ready to take this opportunity could be in for a long one well and it wasn't you know we were talking about bringing the Target in and going up the line it just she's just raised her level she's still going for the lines but now she's making more of them when you can see now she's got a little bit of that positive energy fist pumping a little low she took a chance from her opponent who maybe didn't try and put her foot down when she had those opportunities to take that two game lead time it only takes a point or two for that momentum to swing and it's certainly happening right now she's ready to take it to three wants more electrolyte drinks made up for it it does actually show a player when they're asking for you know more electrolytes or snacking on bananas Etc does show that hey I'm planning ahead I want to go three Mangin Yu now with the advantage in this second set [Applause] 5 she's gotten in the head of Putin SAA as well let's Che on service 15 good Target there Putin sa not trying to do too much that shorter ball eight winners off the forehand Wing today 1 15 [Applause] [Music] 40 [Music] 15 game one just much more free flowing now long jenu her entire that's really probably the most convincing service hold she's had the whole match and mentioned earlier first serve percentage was very very low it's ever so slightly creeping up now 56% for the match win percentage is getting up there too and that shows from from that last hold four games in a row from 6131 love [Music] [Applause] H and Sao would just serve herself so well here to hold and ask the question of Wong to serve out this second set Thursday 15 [Applause] 14 to 15 [Applause] oh game 14 over so indeed the hold from Putin going to serve for the second set well here's the trainer for Putin SAA we earlier saw her do the midock excuse me mid game g sock change and trainer confirming the medical so the three minutes soon as the physio says they're happy to have the 3 minute treatment period starts they're going to start the clock and get that blister treated can happen in these humid conditions players tend to sweat a little bit more [Music] refueling as [Music] well ladies and gentlemen Julia is now receiving medical Di [Music] [Music] [Music] just for [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] to watch [Music] [Music] [Music] are [Music] [Music] time all right so medical timeout finished for Julia Putin SAA that was a blister treatment we did see the sock change earlier and then got that tended to how does that impact Wang Jin Yu that timing of the medical timeout she does have new balls though to serve with here serving for the second set oh that one finds the line I love [Applause] his just catches lot of wind coming through this court now oh [Applause] 30 15 she really trust this shot it's been good pretty much all day and again lots of power great accuracy isn't afraid to change direction on the ball W gen you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] big Point here for the Wong Camp she's worked hard to get back in this match a set and 31 down let for service [Applause] 3040 just couldn't get under that last ball Shinu game well what a point for the break it brings Mato dady to his feet Putin SAA evens the set again impressive stuff there from the 30th seed very solid game didn't give much away was willing just to hang in that last point and eventually Wong wasn't know would have stay in position and hooked it for a unforced error so now see we can take the lead again in this set [Applause] tremendous dep there on that backhand from Putin SAA drawing the error you can see that number there forced errors that's when your opponent so your opponent brings the error out of you whereas that last ball docked as an unforced Wong was in position for it Putin sa really riding the momentum right now for 3 15 doesn't overthink this one again when we talk about margins and targets that ball she left safely inside the line didn't go for too much [Applause] there how lethal is that backhand when she's got time to set it up well I think the the hard part for the opponent is she can go both ways she can go crosscourt with some pretty good angle she clearly really likes the one down the line as well so kind of got to be hedging kind of in the middle there till you really get a good read on it mhm 34 which is a little bit the opposite of a forehand forehands very much favors the crosscourt a little more predictable here's Xin Yu trying to steal back the momentum oh that's just excellent execution Putin SAA initiated the drop ball and then chases down the counter drop shot nice touch there yeah wasn't a bad response unfortunately going crosscourt with that one really exposed her line to be open nevertheless good point from both players really break point saved let for service Advantage 14 over oh to good this is just right in the Wheelhouse for w jinu was the right play with Wong being so far off the court but you can see the frustration [Applause] second break point this game what a point ad feel like she had that point. one till the last shot she was in 21 shot rally standing o from Matteo dennady man we've had some long games in this match this one joining a cluster third Deuce oh [Applause] ADV there's some inside out action on the Four Hands the forehand down the line on the return set that up inside inside out there and then buried this smash o had to reach for it oh [Music] [Applause] what is that indecision there that ball up the middle of the Court sort of not uh you know she want she's going to want that bag you going to want to be a bit more purposeful on that get your opponent moving if you can and second serve for service fourth juce here just past 1 p.m. local time first match of the day on grand stand Advantage putting [Applause] T Putin save on this 10-minute game she's saved three break points this is a second game point oh 14 indeed the hold for Putin SA [Applause] to stay in the match [Music] by well we've had a few different streaks here Sam in this second set Putin SAA LED 3-1 Wong won four games in a row and Putin sa has now won the last three love my main in tenis yeah exactly sometimes it's hard to get but it's even harder to keep it [Music] so a steady steady last couple of games from Putin sa there the quality stayed though we've seen some really great exchanges from the Baseline both women trying to move each other around Putin SAA using that drop shot you've called out the Wong going up the line on both the four and backand sides oh absolutely you can see both plays trying to stick to their weapon stick to their strengths doesn't always come off it's hard to execute every single time but you can see what they're both trying to do put their opponents in awkward positions play to what you do well and that's something that this woman right here is going to have to do in this game is stick to her strengths play a good game here to try and stay in the match and take it to a tie break [Applause] Wong Jin Yu just served for the set at 54 now she's serving to stay in the match at 5'6 done 5 [Applause] [Applause] tracked down well by Jin Yu got it into the corner what a shot from Putin SAA that pass thir here for them good point there using

clock in this match these two have played a couple tie breaks in their first match they split those Sam in her career Julia Putin SAA 86 and 75 in Breakers pretty good there whereas Wang jenu is 38

get under the ball when the ball's sliced to you Andy of a very good slice is these last couple of points oh there Putin save a little hopeful there with that jumping drop shot so they'll change ends there's their tiebreak record actually that pretty much reflects their career records pretty well Putin save just above 500 and W just below doesn't feel like there's much between them right now Sam in terms of their tennis quality No Sa just needs to stay a little locked in that was average shot selection on that point to try and get this lead in the tie break and close out this match three
