Ashleigh Barty didn't have her most impressive day at the office on Thursday, but in this game it's not always about who plays better tennis, but who can work with what they have to win. The Aussie was trailing Kristina Kucova 2-5 in the deciding set, but it would be hard to tell from an observer's point of view.
There was no anger or frustration as she made errors or chose the wrong shot. Instead, she kept calm to deny a match point and win five consecutive games to take the match, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5.
