and draver to get us underway lovey St nice uh sigh of relief from the important thing for Andrea here is to go out with her game plan be play some high percentage tennis and put Jang on her heels be a nerve settler certainly if you can get that first service hold try to put up the barricades there and dra but Jang able to batter them down 14 early on from Andrea but unable to handle the second rling shot from Jang there racket out in front but too much power here on the second one fight that wind will probably blow it in later game way that goes so it is Andrea [Applause] love that's nice from and pouncing on it beautiful serve out wide from Jen nice to [Music] [Applause] FS great start from Andre I think the wind certainly played a little bit of a part there Katrina another good return deep down the middle she constructed that point nicely just couldn't quite apply the Finishing Touch there Andre there a big win for her over Collins Collins is having her best year just overcooked there still a couple of break back points though a little bit wild that time on the forehand side from Erica and draa 15 love first solid serve p left big booming serve right at the start of the year it is and an upwards trajectory for Jen 15 now the plans are allowed to move freely in between the very beautiful well struck weight moving into the court nice combination stay down on that you can see she was committed to that forehand down the line great balance 14 15 good stuff from Erica and draa whoes in front this tight opening set so far [Music] La 13 15 good adjustment good well done yes good positioning oh well a little bit of a Topsy Turvy opening set this one and Erica and dver makes her move again it's not coming back [Music] too much behind it on the the backend wi maybe very solid stop it was a terrific return there from Jen that's what the best players can do just turn up the dial a little bit and that's what we saw there from Jang that's good stepping in taking command the seven seat another good look at just the power of Jang nice one two punch from Andrea too much there from Erica swinging serve just cannot lay a racket on it Andrea good St from Jen [Applause] back 13 left here in this opening set and and really only winning 58% of those it's a good one there great placement close 15 well competitive match so far Erica and draa holding her own here ni [Applause] there beautiful that one was a little a little deep but it was effective was able to find the opening there on the passing shot well done on the stretch thing just couldn't quite get there 14 strong serve again a that's clever there was a lot of space to work with there for an D Jen was someway behind the Baseline soft touch from Andrea and late disguise it's all about there this guy in that racket right really with Arthur stadium in the background a well done 30 number 75 right now doing enough for this [Applause] game Nails it what a strike and what a reaction as well from Andrea right in the corner games to that's terrific [Applause] death it's important for Jane to continue to serve well and she does just that here in that point the pressure on Andrea [Applause] there we go with a thank you very [Applause] much one Z well she did get there but it just couldn't apply the Finishing Touch gets one back good serve to finds good second serve [Applause] though Nails this [Applause] one perfect placement spy and draa who's just a couple of points away from taking a big step in this match drop L that was trouble wasn't it for right off the strings yeah trying to change it up out of position on the Baseline easy pickings for J certainly was but it is Andrea who moves to set points and well could there be anet Brewing on ground stand in the sunshine Erica and Tra takes the first set here ice cold water 5 oh big serve from Jang what she can do better here in this second match to turn this match around she say listen I'm not that far off I lost his set in a tie break but I didn't really take control of the match I need to tweak some things starting off with a great Opening Service [Applause] game it from Jen [Applause] 13 [Applause] love 4 love game good stuff from Andrea solid from Andrea just doing everything right at the moment putting the microscope she's drawing the errors from Andrea 30 good set 15 left another nice start from Andrea 13 left overcook that backand down the [Applause] line outstanding play moving forward with purpose now putting more pressure on the server nice aggress too much behind it too many occasions she's just slightly lost her radar in this match Jen [Applause] 4 some pressure now on the shoulders of Andrea oh beautifully disguised from Andrea hang back on her heels well beyond the Baseline looked as if she was about to just kill that forehand and just drops it over delic with the drop well it is the break through that's what she's been searching for [Applause] 15 [Applause] C lovely touch that is such a a delicate play there from Andrea drop shot and she disguises it extremely well waits for the very last second to cut underneath the shot well disguised 14 just finding her spots with more regularity now is Jang so first serve percentage looking good [Applause] f [Applause] l 15 on oh well done there good balance St focused on what the game plan is it's just a break great strike just up in anti there 14 not this time just misses that shot up the line easy to do emotionally it's a learning process oh wow big shot from from [Applause] Z nice shot from Andrea well that would have been some shot had s Jen made that one a lot of power came off the racket of Jen on that another tough game buse eye you followed up with that excellent play [Applause] very effective there back to back 1450 there's one Cen off it's got a couple of set points to go back of business is Jin went one at all one set a piece a little over an hour and a half played in this tussle much more like it from the Chinese number one perhaps a very solid start Mikey Pereira in the commentary box alongside Katrina Adams has slowed down a little bit um with her game it's fallen off quite a bit you think back everybody so we'll see how they come out here and and get things going as we've seen on these couple [Music] points 15 15 couple of break points here I'm not questioning her [Applause] Fitness not physically but it's the mental part right with the Fitness in this heat and the pressure Bullseye needed that big bold striking there another look at redirecting this forehand down the line good balance great extension good patient play again from Andrea little little overeager to take that one off advantage j comes and goes finding some very good tennis with her back against the wall here Erica and draver oh oh what a great combination from Andrea beautiful combination drop shot and then the Top Spin lob great execution good racket head acceleration on that slip through the fingers now of Jen back to juice that slips on by again very first game of the deciding set feels like a very very important one five so good that's one of the best constructed points we've seen from Jen there's an excited fan about it as well see in the middle of the Court really controlling it great body control shoulder shoulder turn look at that racket H break point number six for Jen and that comes and go huge game this is turning [Applause] into that's a tough shot to try to redirect down the [Applause] line it does seventh time lucky as Jen makes her early move in this deciding set look at that 12 minutes that [Applause] game oh good catch in the crowd there very sharp hands 30 solid well is she just going to keep her foot on the gas here Jang I mean she's really serving well and I think that's something that it's 85% of our first serves 14 to turn this around but it's not going to be easy with that sort of serving from Jen stages of the match right [Applause] [Applause] clever shot really does have that one in the locker she's played that so well the line [Applause] was wise to it was Jen got up to it but it was nicely played by Andrea just taking enough of the the pace off the [Music] ball sharp on the return [Applause] great [Applause] combination but that just helps her so much time and time again there's another that is vicious out [Applause] wide I like this resilience though from Erica and D these are Big moments for her advantage j rock and roll serve again spe K now [Applause] Miss Jen she's now at seven 1 15 allow her to breathe a little bit 14 15 there you go good stuff ER Andrea tell you what she is still in the conversation here it's just the one break of sered three games to two final sets can't you keep on ticking off the games or will Andra just caus some problems here [Applause] even though she's got a resilient Erica Andrea at the opposite end finding ways to 4 the serve is still on fire you have to give her a lot of credit 14 [Applause] 15 terrific serving once again from Jen [Applause] and that an absolute beautiful a lot of room there tra came in look at that problems here they are mounting for and draver she is nearly there now well over 200 Aces this season for her well as well as she not quite Saw the space couldn't quite found the space there another that's a teasing one g finish style why not everybody there's another [Applause] race and another win coming from a set down for the second time this week Jen kinen she means business here in New York and a smile to light up grants that what a way to finish I mean Jen just really took it up another level after dropping dropping that opening set
