Breaker.....Sevastova held easily. Favoring Sevastova in the breaker, but we'll see.

3-all.....Sloane blowing chances to come forward and press the matter, glued to the baseline like Osaka.....

Sloane finishes with a nice backhand winner down-the-line after Sevastova gave Sloane a point on a loose return. Matter-of-fact, Sevastova beat herself in the breaker with 5 loose returns, unexpected given how well she played her last 2 service games leading into the breaker. Sloane into the semis.....

Was too busy today to even watch the scoreboard.
when I tuned in, it was 3rd set tiebreak 4-4.
Congratulation Sloane. I wonder what the atmosphere was like in that stadium.
Will watch the replay later.
Sloane's 2nd trip to a Grand Slam SF after Azarenka stole her win in Australia... :)
Could she win her first slam here? Only 2 matches to go.
Good luck !!
