Leylah Fernandez vs. Ons Jabeur | 2024 Madrid Round 3 | WTA Match Highlights

I think that makes Laila Fernandez in particular so challenging today. She really stays up on that baseline. And a very aggressive start and you're absolutely right. Laila just seems as if she's... Oh, terrific combination. A bit of guile from Anshjepur to say break point. That is nifty. She learned her lesson on the previous drop shot a couple of points ago. Oh, well done. After losing the initial point, Jhepur... And Jhepur will contest what she believes is out and should end the set for. She'll challenge for a fifth time the opening set. Believing that Fernandez's ground stroke was beyond the baseline. And indeed it was. And Anshjepur mounts a significant comeback from a three-lap deficit. She goes on to win six of the next eight games. And she's in the driver's seat now in Madrid. One set up on Laila Fernandez and she seeks a spot in the Sweet 16. And that's long. Jhepur will challenge. She will wait to see the replay. And she might as well if the call stand sets over so she can overturn it in any way. Did it find a sliver of the white line? It did not. And that'll do it. The last four games of set two go to Laila Fernandez. And they will go three in their third round encounter in Madrid. Yeah, that's entertainment. Amazing acceleration through that ball. Just held the wrist. In the contest today. At that time she was expecting it. Oh, and a sense of urgency from Jhepur up until her last stroke when she left it hanging. Fernandez all over it. Make it eight in a row for Anshjepur in Madrid. As in the words of the American baseball player turned philosopher, Lawrence Peter, you can call me Yogi Berra. It's like deja vu all over again. History repeats itself for a third time as Anshjepur outlasts Laila Fernandez in a third set in their third meeting to move through to the round of 16. What an effort put in on a day she didn't feel particularly great physically. Takes it 6-4 in the third. Yelena Ostapenko is next.
