The set began to take a turn for the scenic when Andreescu, serving at 5-2, 30-15 and in full control of a rally that would have given her two set points, attempted a dropshot to finish it off - only to send it into the net. Suddenly, momentum shifted as Osaka sensed an opening door: hitting her spots as Andreescu's forehand deserted her, the Australian Open and Osaka champion roared back, levelling at 5-5 as Andreescu offered up a second double fault.
But while many of the reigning US Open' champion's matches over the course of her winning streak have been marked by dramatic scoreboard fluctuations, it has rarely mattered in the end. As in the final at Flushing Meadows, where Andreescu saw Serena Williams fight back from 1-5 to 5-5 in the second set, the teenager simply gathered herself to take the set anyway. At 5-5, 30-30, Andreescu won a brilliant battle of forehand angles en route to reeling off the last eight points of the opening act, making no mistake serving for it the third time.
