Well, you want your ace to shove in big moments, and Connie Ma shoved right there. Yepifanova played well, but Ma kept her off balance with movement, forcing tougher shots, and that spiraled a bit when Yepifanova. Ma was down 0-40 or 15-40 at several points in that second set, but Yepifanova couldn't finish those games and she must've lost every single deciding point (of which there were several). And on the flip side of that, Ma looked unflappable. Down 0-40? No worries, just get right back at it.
Doubles final will be at 3:30, they just announced, so not much rest for the weary here.
Yepifanova definitely seemed tired. She looked calm and collected against Alsola earlier, but against Ma, she wasn't anticipating shots as well, and she was a lot more vocal when hitting her shots, which I hadn't heard from her yet.
