    You hit what should be 3 winners and still lose the point. So damn demoralizing.

    Yeah the great thing for her, she has a nice 12 month run now. 413 of her 956 points are the last 2 weeks. So not much points to defend for 11 months for her

    Berrettini with the classic strategy of winning 1st set TB vs Fils then promptly retiring before set 2.
