At 3-2, Choinski has served five aces already, and against Hurkacz, not behind the door in that department himself, we may find ourselves enjoying a few breakers. He’s started well.
Niemeier has started the better on Court 12, Muchova forced to save two break points – which she does, the first with a superb backhand from baseline to baseline. A double, though – her third already – cedes another … so she skips onto a half-court ball and punishes an inside-out forehand winner that sends up a puff of dust as it kisses the sideline. From there she holds, and will feel more in the match now, I’m sure.
