Barely visible but Laura I believe !

steven · Tennis legend

Of course, Laura is getting known for her 2nd set wobbles, so there's still hope fro mthat point of view.

1st set

1st serve %: LR 64% IB 31%
BPs: LR 2/2 IB 0/1
Points: 26-15
Key stat: IB won 4/4 points when she got her 1st serve in, just 1/9 when she didn't!

2nd set

1st serve %: LR 61% IB 65%
BPs: LR 0/0 IB 2/5
Points: 22-32

This time, both girls won less points when they got their 1st serves in than when they didn't (29% & 33% for Laura, 47% & 55% for Benesova), but clearly the increase in Benesova's 1st serve % was key here, perhaps she tok some pace off and tried for more accuracy.
