Fu Yu vs Sabine Winter - WS R32 - #WTTFrankfurt 2025

You can't just pick it up and start playing. And that's what Sabina Wintour has always had. She's had that feeling. She's had that birdie. And she's got that really... Well, I think what you find again with Sabina Wintour as well is that she's always been a player on the scene. She's always been in that... The squad always had her there and thereabouts. And if someone is that kind of person, the one around you, then that generally bodes well. They throw the ball up before they serve sometimes at the beginning of the match to just get a feel for it. For Sabina Wintour to come and do this is very admirable. But you know, she's got the weapons, she's got that forehand, and she's going. She's really got to do something more with the points. It feels like she's dominating the rallies and predicting and dictating. She's going to have to get in and attack, otherwise she'll be on the defensive and you don't want to be on the defensive like that against Sabina Wintour. Yeah, again, look at that. She's really unable to get anywhere near that. A millimetre and it would have been on the edge. Perfect placement. There we are again. This time stepping into the table. A little flick sets it up a little bit for her. Again. Again, time and time again we're seeing. And the ball sort of dies on the table. No coincidence, though, that he struggles really seemingly to get out there. Five game points. And that's it. And it's an 11-5 second game and she is absolutely marching on here in Frankfurt. The form of Montpellier carries on across the continent. Yep, there we go. That'll give her a little bit of heart, a bit of confidence, able to finally get in there and play an offensive shot. A little bit of indecision. Oh, and that's great reflexes. How about that? Right place, right time and the direction wasn't terrible either. As she did last week. Give me an assessment of the all-round game. Of Sabina Wintour's game? I mean, has she got everything she could do to go all the way, for example, here in Frankfurt? Face the number one seed, Miwa Harimoto. Four, five. What a match that would be in a round of 16. That would be like the final, wouldn't it? When it comes at her that hard. Seven, eight. You feel there's only ever going to be one winner in those kind of exchanges and it was Wintour there. Well, that time the 46-year-old just about made a recovery in vain, though. But you can see that it dies the ball. Harish is raced now to three match points and that might be that. And indeed, that is that. So, to the delight of the home supporter in the Affinity Arena, it's a smile on the face of Sabina Wintour. She will face tougher challenges. I think it's probably fair to say that, Maria, but how impressed were you today? I think she's shown exactly what she's capable of and it's matches like this that if she wants to compete at the highest, highest level that she needs to sort of get through quickly.
