Not really surprised about this, but watch Sakkari pick it up and knock her off in 3 sets.

And Taro Daniel just took the 1st set tiebreak off of Norrie.

Kalinina is now up a break in the 2nd set. Which was just erased by Sakkari and now 2-2 in the 2nd set.

Sakkari seems to have rolled through the 2nd set winning it 6-2.

Ruud continues to disappoint this year. This surface should suit his game just fine.

For some reason Zverev handles 5-set format worse than Daniil Medvedev. But if you look at his resume outside slams - it is very impressive. After the big 4 era we had only 4 players with multiple masters: Zverev, Medvedev, Tsitsipas and Alcaraz. Even slam winners like Wawrinka, Cilic, Thiem, DelPo had only one masters each to their credit. Zverev has 5 masters, 2 YEC and Olympics. Even in his diminished state he is formidable.Scoob wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 3:47 pm I've got to say some of today's matches look intriguing, especially on the women's side. This tournament so far has had some pretty good tennis to watch.
Today it is once again tough to select an upset from the men's draw, but I will go with Emil Ruusuvuori to upset Alexander Zverev today. I am not really sure why I picked this match other than the fact, I still don't feel that Zverev is 100%.
On the women's side of the draw, I am taking one 18 year old over another. I think the young talented Linda Nosková will upset the other young talented Coco Gauff today. For me, this match is going to be the premiere match up of the day.

I'm not sure if it's an injury, or just a return to the mean, but Ruud does not seem to be the same player so far this season - maybe once the clay court season starts he will find his game.

Garin is not so bad on hards, but indeed, this is a poor result. The problem with the return to the mean idea is that he was very high for almost the entire year (2022). RG, USO and YEC finals. That seemed to say he indeed reached a new plateau.
But: not too many other explanations, right?

What I like most about that point is the apology. Ruusuvuori knew that his framed return set up the entire point for him, and apologized for that. Nice.
