one lyette she needs to keep the ball alive as much as possible move really well [Applause] and no matter what she needs to mentally wash it and play with it again although you have another know three four very cute models that you can show off nope keeping on to this one oh yes [Music] stay hit what can you do nothing I mean stay hit what can you do nothing I mean Magda put that return in she gave herself a chance to get into the rally but it's enough just you know need to adjust some forehand or backand issues and that's [Applause] it oh great defense skills from savena and she just found her Radar Now hasn't [Applause] she this return Swept Away imperiously [Applause] impiously she doesn't let Magda play it's as easy as that MDA has a good game plan but can she put in think otherwise

magdal Lanette to get this second set under I mean really is pretty stable from both Wings again so close to the line way that goes 40 you know what and she's very strong again full respect from my side I'm sure it's uh she's going through a hard hard period right now hard times because when you have that special person in your [Applause] [Music] [Applause] corner just lost her balance [Applause] slightly I mean no way oh wow no doubt there [Music] 45 the secret is to keep on harassing this these big names no oh gets this one and she is on the charge right now and she is on the charge right now and already she seen saer just showing a little bit of frustration in this [Applause] game just giving sa the runaround not rushing trying to go with the right [Applause] play they
