Oh, nearly, nearly.
Schneider.
Yeah, good start, Fahad.
It is imperative that the Australian takes it with both hands.
Just one win in the previous three tournaments.
But she does strike the ball so confidently.
Huge forehand.
And there you go, that's the forehand in all its glory.
And again, no getting to those.
And Schneider breaks to love.
It's going to be tough going for Hahn to try and go toe-to-toe.
It's a shame for Hahn there actually, but she defended the point really well.
That's better though from Hahn, really got stuck behind that forehand.
A super return from Hahn.
Now then, it's a wild one and it's a break.
Schneider, that slip from 40 love up badly.
Fahad, awkward.
Smart play from Schneider.
White to take a second look.
And she's got it back to 30 all nice and quickly.
This would be a shot that made such a slow start.
Schneider breaking her early, this could have got away from her this first set.
But she's growing in confidence.
Should have been heading back to her chair.
Got lucky there, big time.
Schneider frustrated.
Good hold from Hahn.
Back in this first set, she now leads by three games to two.
Feels it's worth another look.
And in the end, that was right on the line.
Came in to meet that with real authority there did Schneider.
Well, there you go, stand and deliver.
Schneider again has just,
Schneider again has just stepped up a gear.
But in the end, Hahn just took evasive action.
Stuck a racket out, but made sure she ducked as well.
That's quite a long way long.
It was almost like, I've made the challenge now, better go through with it.
It was a long way long.
But in the end, it was a long way long.
But in the end, it didn't matter.
Because Hahn has made an unforced error.
Make that one.
Which she should have taken.
Good serve, good recovery.
From set point down.
And that's exactly what Schneider will have to do.
Hahn holds.
Schneider leads.
First ace of the match for Schneider.
Doubles the advantage.
She'll need a fourth set point.
Goodness me.
Not out of the question.
It could happen.
Losing the set four times now.
That four had plenty of feeling though.
And she converts at the fifth time of asking.
Well, not convincing.
I think that's the best way to describe Schneider's performance.
What a pass on the stretch.
Well, Schneider broke Hahn.
But you also feel that Hahn can't afford to give Schneider.
Again, good defensive work.
It's not the end product.
Lots of good work.
Just not quite having enough to take charge.
So Schneider holds to 15.
The idea was a very good one actually.
That sounded horrible.
Schneider.
Eyeing up another break point.
Schneider has the break.
And that is a body blow for Hahn.
Oh.
What an exquisite strike.
Not so good there though.
Schneider.
That's more like it again.
This time off the backhand.
Back up the second break.
Put herself firmly in charge.
Which she does.
With a huge ace.
Second of the match.
Ball had.
Oh.
Hahn's heading back to a chair.
Felt the volley was long.
Nothing coming.
Oh.
And she's made another wonderful shot there.
Yeah.
Nothing at all.
The ace is now beginning to show.
That's a good pass though from Hahn.
Still fighting away.
No.
Again now Schneider.
Position of promise just unravels.
Now Schneider with a chance to hold.
Priscilla Hahn.
What a shame.
Yeah.
Clever.
Again the looping forehand pass.
Well watched.
Well played.
Just saw Hahn moving.
Another sensational Schneider win.
She's racking them up this season.
