And this is going to be another step up for Goff.
Yeah, a match that's hard to call and you can't separate them.
Clear blue skies yet again here in Madrid.
You cannot ask for any more than that.
15 degrees.
Do the talking here.
See how this one pans out.
It is fourth round action from the Matois Madrid Open.
Belinda Ben.
She'll take that.
For a start for Goff.
So much scrutiny.
Yeah.
Forget about solid start.
Benchic still.
It's capital.
So Benchic comes through.
Yeah, that's a good point actually.
When you look at the last match.
Oh, I tell you what.
I was about to say what a brilliant.
She'll be disappointed.
And holding to 15 in the second.
It's an excellent start from the number four seed.
Benchic.
Never in doubt.
Just get it off the line there.
Can't you see that sun in the shade?
Oh, wow.
That's a beautiful forehand.
Excellent recovery from Benchic from 15-14.
Well, Goff.
Oh, well.
Yeah, beautiful.
Beautiful serve out wide.
Again, minimal.
Goff done it again.
With that ferocious forehand return.
Just wide in the 30.
That forehand drifts long.
Too short.
And the backhand this time.
Bringing up.
Yeah, Goff could.
Still hasn't completed a third service game.
And it's another great point.
That Benchic has got to try and defend it.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
Oh, wonderful play.
Oh, chance that one.
First double full of the match.
From Goff.
Wow.
Well, there you go.
The pendulum has swung back, Benchic.
That is just super play.
I don't know how many times we've seen that this morning.
So Benchic, good recovery from 4-2 down.
She'll be looking to tap into the quality she showed earlier in this set.
That's a good start.
Well, I said that Goff needs to tap into the quality from earlier.
Well, she'll be mopping up the short stuff.
All match long, Goff.
Wow, how often do we see it?
Oh, wow.
On the second service, wow.
Oh, what?
Well.
Oh, dear.
Well.
But this time, the first serve really working.
Up at 86% of first serve points.
Oh, wow.
The hand comes up.
A little fortuitous.
She's done the same here.
In fact, that's back-to-back holds to love for Goff.
Because she's also held to love.
Do you know who that one loss was against?
Well, the forehand has been magical at times.
Oh, just enough.
And not only is she getting through the...
It's drifted.
Brilliant defending.
Had to rely on a couple of mistakes on Goff to keep herself in some of these service games.
That's a mistake from Benchikov, the backhand there.
You see the frustration.
Opportunity could beckon here for Goff.
Yeah, here we go.
Firefighting on serve.
But in fairness to Benchikov, and she's not through.
She can't.
It's another second serve that had hit me, written all over it.
Forgettable service game.
Which allowed Benchikov to break straight back.
A lot of unforced errors.
And it's looked really, really shaky on the second serve.
Oh, what can you do though?
How Goff has played in this match so far.
So, so impressed.
This is more like it.
Still feels even if she does get it.
You compare that to Benchikov, who's been OK on first serve at 62.
Ooh, wow.
And she has it.
Just about on the line.
How good has the second serve been?
From Goff.
And she found it there.
And she's powering towards.
Well, there you go.
That is where we find ourselves now.
Ooh, that was a good return.
But a second back.
And it's gone long.
That's just happened too often.
Cheap points.
Well, Benchikov.
But against Haddad Maher.
Brilliant.
Brilliant from Goff there.
It's long and it's a maiden Madrid.
