I was thinking that, too. If Daniala finished the 2nd set quickly before
the rain delay, they could have started the third set earlier (before the
rains), and she could have built a good lead to finish the match.

On the other hand, could it be that Daniela did not want to profit from
Serena's injury during the 2nd set? She even approached Serena when she was
down (and looking concerned). Just my thoughts.
