Did you see at any of the pressure moments, did she handle the pressure moments like we're used to seeing Serena Williams do?
7:36
I think she did.
7:37
I think we saw signs of that, considering that she hasn't played in such a long time, as you mentioned.
7:43
That's what's hardest to get back instinctively, to make it like it's breathing.
7:48
That usually takes a lot more time.
7:50
And she looked very good.
7:51
I can only imagine how she will be after she's had a number of matches under her belt as she gets, you know, maybe another tournament or two.
11:23
And, and, you know, if you're, after seeing her today, what's one takeaway that you would leave viewers with about her game and her comeback right now?
6:24
Mm-hmm.
6:24
And, you know, she has one kind of hiccup on her serve, and you could kinda see it.
6:30
The game wasn't even over, and she just was more irritated and upset than that score line indicated.
6:39
And if you had looked at both players at that time, you wouldn't have been able to tell maybe who was up or who was down, and that, I thought, was the, the odd part of it.
6:47
I mean, we have seen Sabalenka kind of, you know, get emotional, have that part of her personality maybe take over more than she would like, and it has cost her some matches, and I think it did there as well.
7:00
She just couldn't quite recover or even keep a sense of the moment well enough to continue playing the tennis she needed to play.

Yeah
35:56
... back on court and seeing her back on the grass, but it's not surprising maybe that it is the grass, um, the, the first tournament, the first match back for her.
