In the second match, Sabalenka won 3:1, but Nick made a comeback and won the match in two sets.
Each had only one serve without a second ball.
It is also worth noting that the share of the field on which Sabalenka plays has decreased by 9%. Despite this, Arina still could not keep up with the blows of Kyrgios, who was already playing at half strength.
