Gabi is playing now and is on livestreams. Another blue sky blustery day with a tall blue gum tree in the background, which seems to characterise Aussie tennis settings.

The match is on serve so far at *2-3, but Gabi did well to get out safely from her second service game after multiple deuces. Rybakina hits the ball harder than she does, so Gabi is going to need more angles to outwit her, and at the moment she is not getting them. The windy conditions make that harder too, but when Gabi plays it straighter she is generally being outhit in the rallies.

Moves Rybakina around more in her next service game and holds more easily. Is serving reasonable well so far. 3-3

And 2 BP's for McPhee to try and get it back level.

Rybakina loses some focus in the wind and Gabi takes advantage, keeping her shots in play much better. Gabi gets two breaks in a row to win the set 6-3. Second break, Rybakina had her shoulders drooping almost immediately in the game and went 0-40 down, but then two Gabi errors got her back, to 30-40, but then another R error gave Gabi the set. Needs to stay focused and minimise errors second set too.

Katie up an early break in the second as well.

A poor second set from Gabi, who was the won to lose focus this time. She had a good chance to hold to get it back to 2-3, but lost 5 points in a row from 40-0 up to go 1-4 down instead, and that was effectively the set. She's going to need to regroup and focus much better again third set if she wants to win this. That set wasn't close at all. 6-3 2-6

An important hold for Gabi at the start of the third after being 15-40 down. Gabi keeps the ball in play and Rybakina with the errors. Gabi's going to have to do move Rybakina around more to win this though.

What's your gut feeling at this stage Michael (in the Gabi match)? Bookies have it 10/11 vs 10/11, taking into account Gabi is 30-0 on serve.
