00:00And there's a reception for Igor Sviyontek, the second seed, the world number two, formerly a dominant world number one for a total of 125 weeks.
00:14A.O. or Mark Edmondson?
00:17A.O.
00:18A.O. OK, actually perfect.
00:20A.O.
00:21A.O.
00:22This one.
00:27You go.
00:28Your serve?
00:29OK, perfect.
00:41A couple of seasons ago, the serve was one of the things, she kind of tweaked a little bit.
00:51And that was just an ice cold final, wasn't it?
00:54Six love, six love.
00:58She's such a good front runner, Sviyontek, she understands how to do the basic things so well.
01:07Oh, that's much more positive, though, from Kalinskaya coming in, trying to take the initiative.
01:24The initiative...
01:38Nothing's stopping Igor Sviyontek so far this evening.
01:40this evening. Strolls to the first set. 6-1 in just 24 minutes.
01:57So good with the return. 13-14.
02:10And at the moment you wouldn't be surprised if it's Callan Skjaer going through to meet Madison Inglis.
02:40Third time of asking. And the second set is in the back.
02:53And that is the biggest winning margin in a set for Anna Kalinskaya since March 2024.
03:01Dominates set two. And we're heading to a decider here.
03:05This is a very businesslike start from Igor Sviontek.
03:17Sending an early statement.
03:19As deep as can be from Igor Sviontek finds the baseline.
03:45Absolutely tremendous from Igor Sviontek.
03:54New Borsley's bottom.
03:57Kalinskaya is on the chase here. Sviontek has the early break.
04:01And Sviontek slams the door.
04:03Absolutely tremendous from Igor Sviontek.
04:08New Borsley's bottom.
04:09Kalinskaya is on the chase here and Sviontek has the early break.
04:13And Sviontek slams the door.
04:17And Svantec slams the door, we're going to have another look just to check these computers
04:40don't get it wrong. Well, we won it for a while, didn't we? And she lost her first set of this year's tournament, but the question remains, are we looking at the next member of the Grand Slam club, the women's final is a week today, it's a big week, plenty of big tests for Iga Svantec to negotiate, but she's taken another step towards cementing
05:10her place amongst those six great names of the game.
