Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 10

[LukeParkerno1]

Would Ash's game hold up against the likes of Osaka/Serena? They're so powerful off the ground, I'm afraid they'd just hit right through her.

Yes her game will hold up but I’ll caveat this by saying the courts are ultra quick this year which does hurt Barty

Fake applause unrealistic. Needs a ton more OTT Aussie bias.

It's unbearably bad, almost to the point of me having to mute it (much like Hewitt's commentary)

The good old injury time-out momentum shift

Makes a difference lol

How players can't sustain a normal level after a MTO is beyond me.

 

[Sempfy]

She started off well with an ace, all downhill after that though

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

Ash's level has dipped a bit here, Muchova also playing much better.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Typical Ash just wanting to make things hard all the time

What? She usually wins her matches easily lol

 

[danielnajdek]

She lost all her momentum after the MTO.

 

[Sempfy]

Good hold in the end

Dropping serve for the sake of it happens too often even last match she did this

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I’ve seen this script flopping break points to lose serve next game and lose the set

 

[juice t]

I don't think the concept of hitting a smash to the forehand side went through Muchova's head then

 

[Sempfy]

Sometimes she needs to take it on more with the double handed backhand instead of the slice

Yep went very safe on break points. Dumb play

 

[Sempfy]

The slice has its place and is very effective for her but sometimes the point is there to be won, not allow the opponent back into it with a defensive slice.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

And the next game started well...

Honestly her biggest issue isn’t her game plan it’s keeping the foot on the pedal and not defending to a win- she did this last year against Kenin!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

And this set is over...

Ash my goodness

 

[bato]

Seriously.... Muchova playing like peak Graf here lmao.

Ash only has herself to blame
