A good hold in context there, stops the flow of games, and at least a TB earned. 4-6 6-5*

In recent matches, she's had some set tallies that were 10 Aces, 12 DF. Perhaps she's taking a bit off to try and get good serves and not give away more points than she earns?

Into the TB, 1-5

ugh!

If that were the case I am not sure that is the best strategy.  I think if you have a weapon you should always go after it.  It's not like she has a load of other alternatives.....

1-6 in the TB becomes 3-6*
And, that's it,

From 5-1 in the second set, this went south at light-speed
4-6 6-7(3)

The serve it comes, the serves it goes, these days it almost seems a kind of random event. Such a pity. It made her a top 100 player with one or two breaks a set being enough, even TB chances against very good players when it was really consistently firing.

And now facing 5 MPs in theTB

4, 3, ...

4-6 6-7(3)

Another disastrous Naomi nightmare. I fear it may be the last at a Grand Slam

Certainly not a good serving day. Just 31 points won on first serve out of 81. One ace and four DF in the whole match - most unusual for Naomi.

Of course she had to have a bad serving day today and not yesterday.

Should have taken it to 3, but she's finally got her first win since May. It's been a very lean patch and she needs to schedule smart through the rest of the year

Really tough draw for Jo against Caroline Garcia

Random thought - I think the US Open website is the easiest to navigate of the grand slam sites. My order: US / Australian / Wimbledon / French.
