it's a very interesting discussion because sometimes stubborness can be your your biggest it's been Dar in here Sam son [Applause] that's a really clean game from Sam son decision to return to the tour she had to of course build her ranking now just inside the world's top 200 [Applause] nice 30 oh that's where that type of serve actually does help of that sh off Pace kick serve close to the body got all the answers right [Applause] now keeping Osaka on the Move 15 who would have thought the way she started here samova just to take her off balance positive territory in terms of her winners to unforce darus [Applause] 40 love can see so cold minded and focused some son not every player can feel it or make it happen it's interesting you say that a cuz she talked yesterday after what's the best advice you'd give someone who wants to learn to before you start playing that's nicely played yeah I think it has to be on a real Court real clay Court red clay just needs to get something going here Osaka e w bit of a lag there for Osaka there fora very much needed right now course said was best known for working very precise serve from Sam great kick and of course you playing against okasaka you you know that you couldn't you cannot place the [Applause] just looking that close side Court really close and was thinking I think it's really important to focus what a set this is from s oh 405 these are the easy days so smooth and Long Reach and the technique is just quite smooth and Flawless of course that's awesome you have to say that's near perfect set of tennis from yeah I mean after this kind of returns not much you can do of course for Asaka she just have to find the way to got yeah point after Point she just keep attacking that forehand side deep know about [Music] you now the really are starting to flow from her [Applause] ret truly [Applause] outstanding outstanding [Applause] 403 [Applause] [Applause] struggles on a second serve continue she just hit her first double F she's now just headit off f go [Applause] then love 13 yeah that's better from mosa that's better from [Applause] M love to show that F pump and yeah nicely play what sort of message would you send as a coach to a player in this situation if it was Osaka where you're down she just wasn't missing those in the opening n g I think everything when you play on the court yourself everything when you play on the court yourself it feels more dramatic than it is right and you can't judge completely cold mind the situation as it is that's why coach sometimes see better yeah that's the one that hurt the mosta [Applause] it's like when the two hitters big hitters play got those options again on the got those options again on the forehand and as you know the B uh coming getting off of course coming from the pressure score pressure serve short out that's really good [Applause] 40 15 that's where you use the conditions to your advantage two doubles though got LU on that one son of [Applause] a bit too far behind the Baseline you can see doesn't move great set do you think a player should have to hit the I always used to go for the shorter that's long and that was incredible how in tennis matches you can be in do start as they did early on this is Uncharted Terri [Applause] afraid she talks about forand being a Best Shot special she's recognized the struggles of her opponent two set points [Applause] [Applause] oh some is the one who's too far away back he always fell that was likely to [Applause] happen oh that's so much better [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] see is on the Miss right now she does more Aces in the last [Applause] year in the win to bring the win for the team nice that's why you remember didn't take long to remember that because it's just like always there and I have to she can't really see from the other side of the Court that's why she was3 oh what's happened here maybe good reaction from Samson [Applause] Jud your match the qu a lot of short [Applause] points both women those matches though you win you feel like a million dollars get more confidence from matches where you don't play your best and you kind of turn it around E's a here yeah you're on a good [Applause] run 4 love she's on a good run at the moment Osaka uh free yeah which she's doing now two outstanding [Applause] points great serve it's brilliant real character she showed in that [Applause] game a backing a three Drop shots in this game all of them [Applause] successful o that must have felt so good off the racket [Applause] a drop shot master class this one you wouldn't say it was [Applause] that the surface length can here the passion coming from a master class in how to hit that shot and actually hit that shot and actually with Osaka I think she's moved pretty well side to side but doesn't not as comfortable moving forward makes it number five in this game and all of them yeah for oaka to play oh a rocket aied in the opening set which was 65 see what the back moving backward [Applause] out good hold [Applause] from It's Always risky to take that shot on slightly late trying to take it on Down the Line by [Applause] W it's a bad timing break point then because of in this game actually there hasn't because of her serve in this game actually there hasn't been much Rhythm for Sam son an ace couple of big
