That is pain and years of practice, not a double fault, but it does show that how strong a sensation is and how much you mind it can be two different things.

Haley Baptiste was asked in 2026, after beating Irina Sabalenka, how she had reset after smashing a racket in one match and being broken while serving for the match in the next.
speaker_0NARRATOR
I just decided to stop fighting myself basically.
speaker_0NARRATOR
It's a decision that you just make, pretty much.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Either you get over it, or you sit in that feeling.
speaker_0NARRATOR
And sitting in that feeling has gotten me nowhere.

Haley Baptiste, Press Conference, 2026.
speaker_0NARRATOR
She does not say the feeling left, only that she stopped fighting herself.
Matthew RobertsHOST
So I really don't have the answer, but that's kind of just how I compare the two.
Catherine WhitakerHOST
Makes me think of Andrea Petkovic's take from, I think this was ahead of the US Open, but it still very much stands, which is that she thinks the loss to Hayley Baptiste in Madrid was critical.
Catherine WhitakerHOST
I mean, obviously, you know, Madrid is the origin of the decline.
Catherine WhitakerHOST
She'd won everything pretty much leading up to that.
John SilkHOST
It was a tough one.
John SilkHOST
It was, was it Baptiste? Hayley Baptiste, maybe? Yeah, where
NickHOST

quarterfinals.

6 MINS LATER
Myles DavidHOST
... who, who do you want to be those last...
Myles DavidHOST
Okay, you know what? I'm gonna circle back around 'cause we were talking about Leylah.
Myles DavidHOST
We were talking about, um, Hailey Baptiste and Victoria Mboko.
Courtney PierceGUEST
Yeah
Alvin OwusuHOST
Jung is 2-1 against her.
Alvin OwusuHOST
Um, I mean, you even put Hayley Baptiste in there.
Alvin OwusuHOST
They've never played before.
Alvin OwusuHOST
And then Iga's 25, and she's 2-7 against Iga, right? But I think Iga is just a little bit of a, you know, as you would say, a spanner in the works in that her prime was before her prime.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
Sabalenka has lost against six players outside the top 15 this year.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
Hailey Baptiste, Kristea, Diana Schneider, Alexandra Drova, Sarah Bailik, and then now Bartonkova in Beijing.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
So she's now gone nine straight tournaments without a title since the Miami Open in March.
Mike GoldsteinHOST
Oof.

I, I always find it interesting because I'm like, some of this stuff is really cute and I would wanna take it with me, but obviously players have a set amount of luggage that they come with.
Blair HenleyCORRESPONDENT
And unless you're Hailey Baptiste and buying multiple suitcases [laughs] wherever you go, you don't have room to take it all home, I wouldn't think.
Kim ClijstersHOST
No, no. Um, I remember, um, in Tokyo, uh, years ago they used to ...
Kim ClijstersHOST
It was, like, the, the, the culture.
