Watching 49ers vs Green Bay.
Good opening drive from the Packers, 7-0, but since then it’s been garbage.
We now have seven possessions in a row without a score - six punts and a fumble - and the 49ers have a total offence of -10 yards so far…

All she could do on forehand was try and spin it back, no power at all.
There was a moment when she actually made a forehand winner, and both players laughed out loud...
