Weeks 27-28 - The Championships, Wimbledon (grass)


Harriet breaks but Wang breaks straight back. She got a little fortunate with an accidentally stunning defensive lob winner and it gave her an opening and some momentum.

3-2*

Wang holds from 40-15* with some much better forehands.

Harriet needs to get careful here...

*3-3

Huge hold, saving break point after Wang really gets the forehand going. She's being tested now in this match and needs to stay strong.

Wang playing better now and Harriet is starting to show signs of getting flustered and frustrated.

She's missing more and more first serves but Wang sprays three sub-65mph second serve returns and she escapes the game.

5-4*

Oh no! Harriet battles to deuce, great defence but then missed the easy putaway into the net. Wang then holds with a net cord.

*5-5

Ouch. That was a real chance.

Ugh. I think that might be that for this one. Wang is slowly finding a better level.

In a little trouble here now though. Terrible error at *15-30, but she saves the two break points only to dump a forehand into the net. A random ace to save it, doesn't hit many of those! Gets lucky with a sprayed return off another puff second serve. Gets a short return, such a routine put away, and nets! Oh no third time she's done that now on crucial points.

On serve again. Ouch.

First time in the match Harriet now leaking a few errors off the ground having been so so solid. Cannot believe she missed that forehand for 4-1*

Argh, she's really letting Wang back in here. Has 30-0* but wastes it with the first loose returns she's really hit and a forehand in the net. Wang needs a couple of deuces but holds.

I don't like this... She's getting really agitated now.

*3-3

Oh this is a real collapse. Wang is playing better and she's just not coping with it.

Just as she never recovered from missing the easy shot at 5-4* deuce, she's not been the same since missing the sitter on game point at *3-1.

3-4*

Her balls are getting slower and shorter every game. Agonising.

Oh Harriet

Gets a break point but misses the forehand inside-in and Wang eventually holds. It's over a few moments later as she crumbles through an extremely ugly final service game.

6-3 5-7 3-6

Agony.

She created the chances but just couldn't get it done against an opponent who was really struggling to find her tennis consistently. Credit to Wang for digging in and finding some better quality as the match went on, the scoreline was absolutely not just about Harriet. But gosh she had all the opportunities. So sore that one.
