Second set: Barty 6-1 5-4 Hercog* (*denotes server): Likely the longest rally of the match goes Barty’s way as – you guessed it – an unforced error from Hercog decides the point. And that is all the opening Barty needs. Another unforced error – Hercog’s 30th today – settles the game as Barty breaks. She is now just one game away from wrapping this up.
Second set: Barty* 6-1 4-4 Hercog (*denotes server): Oh the scourge of the unforced error! Hercog will live to regret this chance, as gilt-edged as they come, holding two break points only to hit long and usher Barty back into the game. The Australian hits a deep winner, takes the game to deuce and holds.
