Pliskova Upsets Top Seeded Sabalenka
Since losing the first set of her opening round match against Donna Vekic, Pliskova has been in some form alright. The former world number one, who also made it to the final at Wimbledon, hasn’t dropped a set since then and stormed into the final with a rasping win over Aryna Sabalenka last round.
Pliskova defeated Sabalenka 6-3, 6-4 to reach the final, needing only an hour and 23 minutes to seal the deal.
Aided by her brilliant serving which saw Pliskova hit 10 aces and win 78% of her first serve points, the Czech player took an early lead with a break in the third game of the opening set. She closed out the set with a second break in the ninth game.
Things went to serve till 3-3 in the second set before Sabalenka showed why she had entered the tournament as the top seed by clinching the only break-point she got in the seventh game.
Not to be outdone, Pliskova broke right back and then made it two breaks in two games to end Sabalenka’s stay in the tournament.
She will now look to overcome her Olympics nemesis in this one.
