7-Point Tiebreaker in 3rd set of 2019 Bronx Open

Things to watch for:

 

  1. Correct serving pattern and side changes for a tiebreaker.
  2. Both servers take the step mid-serve with their back foot, before reaching up to hit the ball.
  3. Watch their service motions: one is much more abbreviated than the other; both are very good.
  4. Both returners take athletic stances and are moving prior to the serve being struck. Watch for the split-steps.
  5. At 5-6, watch the backhand volley by Italian Camila Giorgi. Awesome!
  6. I recorded this with my phone, so cut me some slack on quality. Say hello to Sid at about 1:48.
