Just a colossal fukking choker. Up 4-2 in the USO Final & loses 16 out of the next 20 points. Only reason she didn't choke in the AO SFs is cuz that's physically impossible against an even bigger choker, Magda Linette. In retrospect beyond shocking she was able to beat Rybakina in the Finals..would've probably choked if she was up a set & a break instead of coming back down 1 set.
Sabalenka has one of the best serves on womens tour. So her serve plus 1 is a dangerous combination. Hard defending serve to get 3-4-5 rallies with her to wear her down
Jabeur in set 3 was reading the placement of Sabalenka serve insanely well. Wasn't giving away free points. That's how you beat Sabalenka...which of course is pretty damn hard. She is still having amazing season
