Anisimova is nowhere to be seen....
And at the same time, Barty is playing top-tennis.
*4-0 Barty... this could be over in 30 minutes at this rate....

Anisimova is getting used to the cirmumstances (slam SF + wind)... 5-0 down, but holding her serve an now even taking a break back...
5-2*... hope that she can hold serve here...

Anisimova playing like she did vs Halep, and back on serve!
Amazing tennis from this 17y old player. Bencic, Osaka, Kasatkina were nowhere near this level when they were 17...

Still not in the pocket: Barty is good too...

What a set... Anisimova wins it 7-6... served for the set at 6-5, gor broken, was 2-4 down in the TB and then won 5 points in a row...

I saw it all: great defense, variety in speed and direction, comes to the net, uses drop shots... what more can you want?
I hope she does not lose that overall variety in the next years

Mental blow for Barty, I assume, when you lead with 5-0....

7-6 3-0...

She is ridiculously good... amazing, perfectly executed dropshots from the baseline on the return of serve, ROS winners, never giving an easy ball...
Easy to get overexcited, but if this is her normal level at 17, then the sky is the limit.

Pyotr, I disagree with the chocking: Barty was given a free-ride in the first 5 games: Anisimova was a shadow of the player that we saw yesterday...

It is not that Barty her level dropped: Anisimova started to play better and stopped with giving presents... As you can see, the moment that Anisimova her level drops a bit, Barty is back.... form 3-0 to 3-3 in the second set...

Both still can win this. This is the real final for me.

Not watching Vondrousova: followed on the scoreboard and saw that Konta was in the lead all the time until 5-5....

Missed the third set...

This SF was going to produce a great finalist anyway... And Anisimova will get her opportunities anyway.

So Barty or Vondrousova will become the next new Slam winner.
