At this Stage
Count it however you like — both players won exactly 116 points — and Dayana Yastremska still found the four that mattered most: match points, saved, every one of them. Aoi Ito, playing on a protected ranking, took the second set and led 5-3 in the decider, standing within a point of victory four times before Yastremska tore off the last four games to land it 7-6(1) 4-6 7-5 after 2h 19m. Forty-nine winners against 58 unforced errors is chaos as a method, but on Court 5 it was winning chaos. The survivor advanced to face Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro in the second round — a match with no such reprieve in it.
