She somehow won the set 7-6 though!

PaulM, nicofrance - that's really funny - all three of us posted almost identical assessments - I'm sure emma's team have better things to do than look at this forum but, you know, maybe they're missing a trick

Does well to save 2 break points, only to double fault on her game point and get broken anyway.

4-4*

Here's a break point. Osario eventually goes long.

*5-4

Camila is doing a good job hitting deep into the corners.

Her second serve has been so good, even in the first set (the one thing that has) - and then two double faults .... :(

Absolutely dreadful stuff from Emma.

If this goes to 3 sets theres only one winner . Hard to believe Emma won the US Open , her tennis has gone backward and this mostly passive tennis is never going to do the job .

On the whole, a much better tiebreak from both. Better, more assertive hitting. Camila covering so much ground to keep the ball going, still getting deep into the corners and Emma really struggling to get the ball away, having to work very hard for each point.

Emma goes up 5-3*, balloons a second serve return long but is rewarded for some great defence of her own to get an error from Camila. 2 match points...

Superb second serve swinging out wide and the return is wide.

7-6(5) 7-6(4) in brutal conditions. An hour longer than it should have been but she won. Lovely embrace at the net too, I really like Camila.

I wouldn't be shaking Camila's hand at the end of this, that's a very covidy looking cough!!

Or worse, a hug...

She did well to win a few of those TB points.
