Sabalenka and Pegula even early in the match

Both players have held serve during the early part of the match, and through four games it is 2-2. Sabalenka is trying to establish her forehand and cut down on unforced errors, while Pegula, despite double-faulting twice, is doing her job in returning it most of the time. Good pacing in the early going, as neither player has taken control.
