Zheng Qinwen vs. Amanda Anisimova Condensed Match | 2024 US Open Round 1

for me this whole set it's been the placement of it that's just not clicking tell you what though she can just squeeze through this game she was cruising towards this first set is just long and three set point chances come and go for amander and is him over it's a good holds from 1540 down there L [Applause] 15 oh a double fault she hit two in her previous service game did well just to get an isim over to hit the extra ball [Applause] there oh that's a gift why would she try and hit that return so big 1 it's well played from the Olympic gold medalist that's a good start 5 3 [Applause] 15 out ow it's just long to soak up quite a bit of pressure early on in that point Chun Chim went oh this time she makes absolutely sure what an opening St that was and in the end anisimova takes it six games to [Applause] four out lck 15 loty she's going to feel even more nervous 15 13 [Applause] out [Applause] oh yeah big fist pump from amander and it's over love 30 down there so that's 15 in a crosscourt ralles I [Applause] get what worked for her so well over the summer was the forehand with a bit more shape down the line just so good that backand can do anything she wants with it [Applause] sixth backhand winner good holds from over that was 21 in the world the best that she's got to so far yeah fa a few years already yeah winning our first title when she was 17 and it's him over that wide seres come back she's just going for a bit of a shorter slice serve in the Box out 14 15 four races in the game for J chin that'll do it second round one other fourth round but not much to say that you know she deserves to be in that conversation with with Aon teken oh my goodness can you believe [Applause] that 1 14 out so couple of loose forand from Amanda Anisa MOA and it is the number seven seed who hits the front in this second set to lead 3-2 15 [Applause] 15 13 have been pretty special if that caught the line the ace counts flying up though yeah out 43 game well fortunately for it doesn't make any difference she still comes through the game she backs up the break love 15 out that's where you see that she just doesn't have that natural knee Bend 1533 it's just long just another rock solid point from J chinen and a chance to get that all important double break that's too good 1 for i' be saying just do that just do that every point just do that every time it's not hard yes [Applause] oh wow what a way to save another break point anything midcourt is getting ADV shim just winers Galore right now that was a good second serve from for over 100 [Applause] milph it's very straight forward there another quality backand from amander and it's him over double break in the last game the back hand is just on fire again from anissimova again it's so hard to do when the ball's coming on to you that quickly [Applause] 30 15 out just beginning to have a few second serves to look at in this game out 4 good serve equals her quickest serve of the match so far [Applause] oh wow what a second serve oh it's incredible defending from junin when couple of wonderful backand in a row from anisimova looked as though that was going to do the trick but J chin Wen right now out 15 l [Applause] [Applause] 3 14 I'm sort of in awe at how big both of these players are hitting it [Applause] 14 when it's an unexpected short ball she's good moving up to it when she's expecting the short Ball but they're just could have been a little bit quicker off them that's too good again from manim overa and jimw will have to try and serve this second set out herself at 54 out 15 make every shot count 15 again it's just great serving 4 15 well that's a great response from Jang Chim when who dished up a little bit of a serving clinic in that second set and we are heading the distance out here on Armstrong takes it by six games to four she's going to start us off in the decid that's one way to start off the third set players if any some overthrows in any first serves that sit up out 15 out 15 thir yes has been an excellent start from Jin well the movement's starting to play a part as well isn't it for me that does favor Jen just because she's a lot more skilled defensively and there it is perfect start so far so good in set three 15 left there's the slice oh didn't seem to bother her too much with that out four 4 15 it's a great second serve from Chim W and I'd be more concerned about the foot to be honest if you feel like then you're going to start to go for more in your shots which too good yeah it's just going to result in more unfor narrow in her stance and quite high up in her legs but still trying to hit the same shots Genji just took the right hand off the racket there and it's him over anxiety and and pressure over the last few days and then you get onto the court and it's so intense out well this final set is in danger of spiraling rather rapidly out of control here for Amanda and isova love 15 La 30 what's going on with the one-handed backand as well yeah that's the third time I've seen her do that not even going to try and help out okay game on again here and L 15 [Applause] him over she uh yeah she's actually selling her own paintings to try and raise money for charity oh that is a joke of a forand heavy hitting here the depth on that back hand it was actually a good retrieval from Jen oh and now it's Young's turn to paint the line so two games in a row for amander and [Applause] over feel as this is an important service game here for Jang chimen just to try and [Applause] out well if J out stole that point away away and this him over that was going long stopped moving didn't she she stopped there was no way that was going long look at the dip the rotation around the ball that's her bread and butter yeah we saw that time and time again it's a loose start to the game [Applause] still in it solid from a miss him over that's great defensing defensing defending going say great defending skills well that could well be that that's well done excellent point from [Applause] anisimova and for the match the net points one for anisimova is actually pretty high eight out of 14 it doesn't really feel like she's come to the net 40 where does that come from [Applause] 15 too good well that's Ace number 12 well we always knew this one was going to be a tough start for both of these two it was a match really that wouldn't have looked out of place deep into a second week of the US Open but it is Jun chinen the Olympic gold medalist who makes it through to the second round here in New York and she never stopped believing after the end of the first set sat down with such clear intentions to get herself back in the match was defending so well the serve lifted up and from there she was able to play her best tennis when she needed it most so shangin Wen fights back from a set down to get it done 6-2 in the third
