Compartmentalizing everything else and here we have them.
She'll be the 30th player.
It seems a strange question but is this a better matchup for Coco than the one yesterday?
In terms of the ball that's coming at her or not?
You know I think it's different.
You kind of think that the backhand is that much more comfortable hitting it a little higher.
The contact point doesn't mind it if it's coming down on to her.
If she has to play down on the ball.
But I think Coco is also going to enjoy that pace coming in.
She's won so many second serve points.
50% for the tournament and that return was so aggressive.
The forward momentum.
North to south, west to east, everywhere.
Yeah and it's not just the speed.
It's the anticipation and that first step that gets her there.
Once she settles herself in she can be devastating.
Rebaka finding out first hand tonight.
Yeah and you can see here that Coco Goff sometimes people think that she's only a defensive player.
But her great strength is that she recognizes short balls on time.
And is up to them quickly and takes time away from her opponent through that movement.
Takes the first set.
Just got to be so careful.
It's a break.
Moving slightly in that shot right now.
So much intent.
Goff that plus one shot right there.
She secures the second hole of this set.
Final set.
That gets Goff's team on their feet.
Those numbers emphasized by those shots taken inside the baseline right now.
Which are as high for both as they've been all match.
And Goff has been trying to get forward a bit more.
And it is tough.
Book her a ticket to a first US Open final.
For the first time in 13 years here.
The final will be contested by the top two seeds on the women's side.
The incoming world number one.
Rekava Shma set down to prevail in 2 hours and 8 minutes.
