Must view with the sound on.

"Filthy".

^ And that was only about the 5th most impressive point of that match!

Final match from the looks of it. I was watching. Andrea and Belinda had a very long hug at the net, said some words, hugged some more. It was very nice.

[ashkor87]

the key matches today :
of course, Raducanu versus Cornet.. I hope and expect Raducanu wins
Fognini versus Karatsev - no idea who will win that one!
Zheng versus Ostapenko - how good is Zheng, really? If she can beat Ostapenko, I will start believng she can win this whole thing ..
Goffin - Musetti - same question for Musetti - how good is he, really?

Not sure any answers came up here, except maybe Zheng is as good as I think she is ..

Even her son side-eyed her.

Very solid play by Cornet today...lovely drop shots too...

Yes. We should not forget that. It is not as if Raducanu handed it over. Alize played well.

[skatingfan]

Raducanu must be set for one of the largest ranking drops for a player that wasn't able to defend a Grand Slam title. Also the largest points drop for any player ever as the first qualifier to win a major title one year followed by a first round loss the next.

[Deuce]

Down to #85 or so, I read.

thanks y'all

[Owendonovan]

She was never going to defend after the last 12 months and I think we all knew that. First round a bit of a surprise, but not much of one. She hasn't had the right people around her for tennis, but she's been marketed well and can take some cold comfort from that. She's done nothing tennis wise that would warrant any particular positive attention. Could be a good thing for her to no longer be under as much pressure to be the next "it" girl (Bouchard) and get back to real tennis and what that really entails. Enough with the fussiness, or languish in 80-120 rankings for good.

[ashkor87]

Happy to see Osaka hitting flat...she was topspinning it a bit too much in the previous tournaments. Doesn't really help on hard courts...

[Owendonovan]

Is it me, or is there a real lack of aggression towards seconds serves in this tournament so far? I see a lot 2nds in the 70's and low 80's that should be pounced on but aren't. Both men and women.

[ponchi101]

A few more players adopting the "I will return from the parking lot" position. That hurts a bit for aggressive returns.
But Osaka and Collins are bucking that trend.

[ashkor87]

My picks not doing well! Osaka, Rybakina, Raducanu gone,.hoping Zheng and Leylah will survive the jinx .
