What a hold to love!
Look at those people!
That's a bit of a nervy looking double fault, wasn't it?
That's a serve there.
Impressive.
Moment.
Right on the line.
I think it's fair to say Kostiuk in the pass.
I think in the pass, no, though.
The thing is, because she's such a beyond tech in that regard.
She cannot believe that the racket...
Just pull it back.
Cancel.
You've got to keep accelerating.
Much better second serve there.
I think a slightly rusty serve is...
You just get into trouble.
Oh, she was in the right spot.
Salek Medeva could have gone...
And she has it.
That's one of the breaks back.
Does it help?
New balls in play here.
Accelerating at the ball.
Pressure here.
Looked out.
Kostiuk is going to give it a double check.
What a moment to chuck it.
With a double fault.
Kostiuk converts.
That's really going to hurt Salek Medeva.
Into this set.
A restart to the set.
It's a toss of a coin, isn't it?
With the second serve.
Whether it goes in...
Oh!
It's not just a double fault.
It's...
Medeva has.
She needs to work on that.
Half have been missed.
I'm not surprised to see a double fault there.
Because it's tough to miss a first serve.
Very good number.
It was wide.
If you're hitting that many double faults...
To the body, surely, from Salek Medeva.
It's been apparent at times.
I'd be surprised to see her serve a lot better in her next match.
Right over the top of that one.
Didn't see that.
Bit of a worry here.
Legality.
She will be looking for a quick break of serve
to get this to the first game of this second set.
It's on to her chances.
Salek Medeva.
First ace of the match.
