Good chance Machac will knock off Djokovic..
Kostyk is much better than when Badosa beat her last, could be a good one..I would bet on Kostyuk
Osaka-Bencic looks close but only if Osaka loses her head .Osaka is a class better than Bencic..also, is a bit further along on her comeback..
There are some nice doubles matches to see though..Siniakova and TT have a good team of opponents, Hsieh/Osta are also in action..

Osaka has played some great tennis this year and she is feeling confident. I think she will come through. Could knock off Gauff but I wouldn’t bet on it. Gauff is in top form right now.

Djokovic hasn’t looked as sharp as usual. Even footwork. An upset wouldn’t surprise me.

[ashkor87]

Agree about Gauff. I think she is going to win this tournament..of course Saba has a chance to, as does Swiatek and so too Rybakjna

[ti-amie]

Siegemund down 1-6, 1-4 to Pavs...

Tauson putting up a good fight against Sabalenka in the first set.

Shnaider/Vekic in a first set tie break.

[Fastbackss]

Tauson served at 4-4. Very long game. Sabalenka broke.

Figured would be easy hold for the match but she was very "nervy" and was way more stressful than I anticipated

[ti-amie]

Shnaider vs Vekic is - tense

[jazzyg]

What an epic gag by Shnaider in the last four games after going up 5-3. She could not keep a ball close to the court. Strange.

And the announcers on ESPN+ are totally ignoring her collapse and acting like Vekic won it.

[ashkor87]

Kostyuk seems to be coming apart mentally

more words of 'wisdom' from Steve Tignor! how many of these do you agree with?

[jazzyg]

I did not agree with his picking Osaka over Muchova, and he was right.

[ashkor87]

I did not agree with his picking Osaka over Muchova, and he was right.

And this time?

[Suliso]

This time Tignor was right. Happy for Bencic (always liked her), but not at all happy that Naomi didn't last a full match.

[JTContinental]

What’s up with Sabalenka and the close sets? I haven’t watched her yet but I was assuming she would cruise through to the later stages. Is she playing a notch below usual or are opponents playing a notch above?

[ti-amie]

Gauff routined Leylah 6-4, 6-2 as expected.
