Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Varvara Gracheva | 2024 Cleveland Round 1 | Match Highlights

love 30 [Music] 40 30 D come excellent use of the drop shot by graa as well and it's the French player who takes the opening game just wide little glance from bozas Monero she's not convinced but no pickup at all there from Bas mono converted at the first time of asking and I have to say bozas Monero never really settled into that service game l yeah the wind perhaps taking when you 25 trophy as well in Turkey one of those yeah this time she makes the connection and signs of life for Bas mono I do fear though that there are opportunities is for boas mono that's a terrific forehand though that's a gorgeous shot from gacha that's a gorgeous shot from graa this was a high looping ball in the wind as well did really well to get over the top of that one and apply the control on the Finish as well really well played either a 500 or here at a 250 and a double fault as well for good measure and all of a sudden it's long on the back hand as well careless from boas Monero and it's a second break of serve nicely finished off again once more high ball difficult to yeah sent B from GLA just waiting for boas Monero to commit one way the other great points incoming though for boas Monera her first of the match just a little bit too aggressive on that return of serve just a little bit exuberant Maybe quick opportunity buas mono just about finding the line first readily admits that's one of the reasons why that she's playing well or better than she was on court yeah that one has found the line that's a great [Music] serve well that must have been close no no complaints though from gra but it won dece good serve again down that middle that line of attack close again my goodness me but well played really good change of attack there from boas mono longest R of the match I think well she's got away with that one again nothing really on that first serve at all from G trouble is just wide and 30 break point once again well as was the case in game seven she couldn't quite convert at the yeah look at the deviation on the ball there it really kicked back and yeah it's wide don't know why she didn't go down the line there there was so much room to work with as she's managed to deal with the conditions a little bit better as well love and it could well happen it could well be that graa has the final say well terrific defense from GLA but there was only really so much she could do in the end but a second opportunity quickly arises for and this time she finds a way through boas Monero wide with the backand and nicely steered away on the forehand as well 15 tce but never has she had two clear break points 30 40 mention that sequence yeah long on the back hand it was an awkward pickup for graa it was graa who had the final say with that break of serve in the final game of the [Music] opener the bigger picture is that Bas Monero is the on top player but it's gacha who has the set yeah there we go down the line I really think she should employ that a little bit more than she has been yeah unlucky on the defense 30 40 yep again going down the line okay boas Monero made the connection but it was a very really awkward pickup for her all of which in start contrast of course to that run to the final pedigree over the last two seasons as a whole [Music] 30 40 I just wondered for a moment whether Bas mono heard the call she looked to carry on yeah nicely played again the back hand once more down that line doing the job finding the angle clearly wasn't herself she retired during a match in Berlin just before the Championships after a nasty fall clearly wasn't as 100% that [Music] day early exit at Wimbledon and no participation in New York as well 40 30 yeah wide from graa two games yeah well played 3 could have taken it on at the first time of 304 well well well POS us yeah just a little bit cautious I feel there G and boas Monero loses three games to two coming out on top in 30 love oh that's careless from Gra 4 it is very small and it is very 40 30 not quite as uh decorative as all of a sudden double fault brings it back to juice yeah and Little W she's for yeah just overcooking that forehand advantage point okay yeah and it's gone that was possibly the moment for gra yeah that's found a way through as she made her way over to the advantage Court as well there for B esero she clearly found a lot of value in that one as well just one of two signs that she's starting to attach that I was talking about earlier on 4 yeah lovely combination from graa slice down the line love 30 that's drifting that's harsh on in position once again to make her move graa at this second set it's just long not by much but enough to allow boas Monero back into oh a double folds coming at the worst possible moment yeah got there in the end but my goodness me she had to play a couple of extra shots that she me she had to play a couple of extra shots that she might not have been anticipating again excellent defense and excellent pick up from that ever but all in vain in the end 1530 yeah and I think boas Monero would absolutely love to wrap this
