Looking forward to hearing about this ad nauseum and TC preempting a match to show birthday tweets from minor celebrities.
With Roland Garros just around the corner, get ready for our Survivors' Pool, You Can't Win Jack and Predictions contests.
For our SP players, remember: just the LAST NAME of the player, unless two players with the same last name play on the same day.

Paolini has been quite the revelation - beat BHM and now LF in short order.. both lefties but that probably is not a factor..

from what I could see on youtube, Paolini's footspeed is astounding, and Leylah didnt seem to have adjusted for it..kept hitting drop shots that Paolini not only reached but put away..

Vekic stands up to power very well.. remember how she thrashed Samsonova at last year's AO.. filling the gap left by Bencic?

Data for my theory that, unless you are a Roger, Novak, Rafa or Serena, you can't take that much time away from this sport. Too tough to come back just like that. Practice will only get you so far.

Only the really talented can afford to take much time off, I agree...

Yes, but are they aware that h2h was 5-2 for Vekic before the match?

Sakkari beating Navarro in straights looks like a quality win on paper.
