[Music] 15 so shme L definitely a first serves are particularly effective in these uh high altitude conditions 650 m above sea level oh that wasn't quite she had an opportunity well the unforced erors coming in thick iner [Music] altitude well the first break oh perfect use of the court and that's such an effective shot schmidova former Slovakian player not just that heavy hitting penetrating tennis she also has the angles the Drop shots now that's a shot she absolutely loves to hit the back hand down the so three games played and well got there [Applause] eventually I through the air a whole lot more and they stay very low kick serves as well particularly on these oh Magic Touch Magic [Applause] Touch that's always been something that has impressed me about the game of Kenan so many shots in her repertoire not just those harder oh and I thought that one might have just had enough Top Spin [Applause] big striking combination give you a comparison here in Madrid it's 650 m above sea level yeah too good so Schmid lover another one who broke onto the scene and qualified for Miami but then lost to Wang X and right now it is just a picture and that's better just bringing in those margins Miss can miss challenging the call on the left forine the ball was called out back into this first set she did uh lead by sorry she did Trail by three love 15 callers of return first devil fault of the well it hasn't been the start to the season that Kenan would have wanted and it certainly hasn't been the start in consistency at the moment last loss in fact was oh well it was the back hand down the well it was the back hand down the line that set up that opening there but it was the execution of this drop shot that had the magic on it on the world at the time defeated garbino mugara in the final who of course has just announced her retirement oh what a [Applause] shot when it came to topping the podium K 50 [Applause] not true missen is challenging the call on the right Baseline a was called out and it has to be said she didn't get off to a brilliant start in the first set but she certainly did pick up the pace as uh the set progress along that trajectory and whether she can turn this match around [Applause] 1 15 oh going for a little bit more on the first serve and behind that's what she so for her well it's interesting isn't it sometimes it's the same characteristic and it's that Fier oh [Applause] and those are and those are the types of shots I mean who tries those shots from the position that she was in there are very few players [Applause] oh using every single nook and cranny of the Court Lo last year the first Slovakian to do that since Dominica Cil cova's run and sealed with an untouched oh not much that can be done about that one [Applause] [Applause] and that's the uh fearlessness I was referring to just a few points to go despite the fact that her un and it has been a tricky period oh that's much better outside of the top 400 so it hasn't hasn't been smooth sailing for Kennan oh smart Play Good disguise good disguise off that forehand Wing as well she was quick up to the ball and held off for just a couple of millisecs but it was this back and the wrong foot that the fourth match of the day on that Court the final match she's through that was uh in qualifying she was the 20th seed in qualifying [Applause] impressive serving really to the first set but still sitting at 62% which in these conditions isn't bad particularly with the uh poent [Applause] [Applause] three big opportunities now for the slow first time that does just make the courts that little bit faster love was four point four points in a row for Schmid [Applause] L digging herself out of this hole she trailed by love no such bad bounce on this occasion on to court 15 [Applause] well Kenan keeps herself in this match it would be on your own serve just overcooked it slightly she hasn't been helped by the [Applause] net all of the match Sophia Kennan and it sets up the first match point opportunity and one is all she needed
