Aryna Sabalenka produced a moment to forget during her clash with Taylor Townsend, whiffing on not one but two return attempts - completely failing to make contact with the ball on either occasion.
It was a sight few could recall seeing from the world-class Belarusian, and it handed Townsend a psychological lift at a crucial stage.
Townsend had already shown her mettle in the opening game, fighting off a fourth break point with a clinical service winner to hold serve under pressure.
The American's composure stood in stark contrast to Sabalenka's uncharacteristic struggles on the return, setting the tone for a compelling contest.
