I reckon Jelena Ostapenko vs Yulia Putintseva may have been an expressive match

Ostapenko won 6-3 6-1

Hev got into winning position being the aggressor but then started to play passively. Same in this set, steps in to create the chance, but then backs off on the break point itself.

Two very nervy points at 30-30 but Brady plays two terrible errors

5-4*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Brady holds to love.

Hev saves several break points and eventually holds on a second serve ace

6-5*

PaulM · Tennis legend

Blows two match points. Return then a forehand into the net.

Gets a third (Brady making big errors off block slice returns this game) but a big serve takes care of it.

Misses a return then saves game point with a stunning lob. Brady plays two great points and holds.

*6-6

PaulM · Tennis legend

Plays a pretty atrocious and nervy game but digs out of 0-30 (with a lot of help from Brady)

7-6*
