@gveurselfgrace Mahirap basahin serve ni Noskova. She tosses the ball in the same place. And her placement is very good. To beat Noskova you have to hold your serve and then drag her into rallies where her error rate increases. She's very solid.
@islandtennisace Yes, these are the types of players where you need your service to hold. So Alex still needs the endurance/consistency.
She also had more difficulty reading Noskova's serve, which compromised her return game and allowed Noskova lots of plus ones.
@NotLite_03 maybe she will. maybe she won't. that's what makes sports more interesting.
but as long as she continues her progression and avoids injury, she probably will.
@Reach2Heaven@josemorgado She needs to maintain her serve. Her serve speed and first serve percentage has been dropping as the tournament went on. Without the serve she can't control points on her own game as well.
