Sofia Kenin vs Yulia Putintseva • Abu Dhabi 2021

This may be filled with drama 😂

Let us all hope for a 1st set to Yulia,
then we may see tears in the 2nd

Lets go Yulia 🔥

This shit is fire. What a encounter, 2 match point saved for Kenin and broke racket at the end of second set by Putintseva. 🔥

...oh yes

I think Yulia will win this, she’s a tough player and knows how to make it really uncomfortable for the opponent and that’s something that might drive Kenin mad.

Yup yulia!

Unfortunately samiruffsankey so does Sofia..... knows how to make it uncomfortable, I mean, by finding the angles into corners she always does.

I tried to hate her for a while, but I had to respect the skill with what she plays with when she works out an opponent.

She's great at what she does.

.......& so is Yulia .....to a certain extent

@Mr. Mensa she is struggling this tournament though, I would usually expect Kenin to win this matchup but the way they are playing lately, Yulia seems to be better right now plus sometimes I just like to go for the upset.

....Sofia is a bit rusty but quality player....good match for her....and...she have beautiful outfit 😂😂😉like Yulia but ....no

Kenin starting to get frustrated

Crazy tennis happening here

Go on Yulia, take the 3rd

Kenin is playing so much better. What mentality

.....i do enjoy that match aaaaa lot😋

Yulia is going crazy now.

Bet she is not loving those ANGLES Sofia is making

This is great back & forth

Yulia needs to stay angry.

What a shot to break

That's what Sofia does.
Finds those angles

Annoyingly Kenin looks to have found her way out of this 😒 as she always does

This set is the best Kenin has played in the tournament so maybe the match between Sakkari wont be so straight forward- I didn't see the Muguruza one but I know the Spanidard isnt as mentally strong as Kenin

I agree @Mocke although I think Sakkari can beat Kenin. That’s if Kenin wins this

As long as we get great matches it doesn't really matter

I agree

To be honest I gave up on Sakkari last year, something isnt there in her game. 😔

She has a great blend of defence and attack and an improving serve. She lacks variety a bit perhaps

The drama here is intense

Brilliant match for Sofia....

What a fight! Very good match.
