00:00Alright, tennis fans, did you catch Coco Goff's epic showdown with Leila Fernandez at the China Open?
00:05This one had everything. Momentum swings, heart-stopping rallies, and some serious mental grit.
00:10Let me break it down for you. So, Goff takes the first set 6, 4, but Fernandez isn't backing down.
00:16She claws her way back, snatching the second set 6, 4. Now buckle up, because the third set?
00:22Absolute chaos. We're talking 15 breaks of serve in the match, 8 just in that last set.
00:27Goff double-faults 9 times and gets broken 7 times, but she keeps fighting.
00:32At 5, 2, Coco's serving for the match, twice. Both times, Fernandez breaks back.
00:38Honestly, it looked like Leila might pull off the upset. But Coco, she's not done.
00:42She saves not 1, not 2, but 3 match points. Ice in her veins, you guys.
00:47She breaks at 5 all, then finally serves it out, sealing at 7, 5 on her second match point.
00:52This wasn't just about shot-making. This was a masterclass in resilience.
00:57Goff's been working on her technique, especially her serve, and yeah, it still gets shaky.
01:01But she finds a way. That's what champions do.
01:04With this win, she powers into the fourth round for a blockbuster clash with Belinda Bentic.
01:10They're head-to-head, super tight. 3, 2 for Goff, tied 1, 1 on hard courts, and they've traded wins this season.
01:18Plus, with World No One Sabalenka out of the draw, the door's wide open for someone like Coco to make an even deeper run.
01:24Goff's title defense is still alive, and after the season she's had, new coaches, new mindset, it feels like she's just getting started.
