Petra is up 5-0 in the second set. I have no idea what is happening.

After I saw 6-0 Ostapenko in the 1st, I had an urge to post something like "This match can change rapidly, though", because, given Ostapenko's impulsivity, she could feel like she's got this match in the bag and start going for crazy winners everywhere... and Kvitova being the veteran would be able to exploit that.
I chose not to post it, though - just in case .
Now that that's been done, I suppose the 3rd set will be a 20-18 tiebreak...
R.I.P. Amal...

Ostapenko is ill and has had the Physio out to check her after dropping 9 straight games. She seemed to be coughing terribly sitting there. She has now lost 10 games in a row and is down 4-0 in the 3rd set. Something is definitely not right with her all of the sudden.

Appears to be a continued spanking by Petra.

Ostapenko has now lost 10 games in a row and something suddenly is not right with her. She is now down 4-0 in the 3rd set.
She finally breaks the streak and gets a game. She is down 4-1.

This was always going to be a tough upset, as Coco hasn't lost to a player ranked outside the top 50 since the AO last year.

I cannot get a read at all on this Petra/Ostapenko match at all. Just when I think Ostapenko is done she rolls off two games in a row and is now only down one break in the 3rd set. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if she rolls off 4 more games in a row and wins the 3rd set 6-4.

Certainly possible, but I just might have given the counter jinx to Ostapenko saying she would win the next 4 games and win the 3rd set and match.
But she has evened the set up at 4-4.
Kvitova wins a crazy match over Ostapenko 0-6, 6-0, 6-4.

Tsurenko withdraws again right before her match with Sabalenka tonight.
I don't really quite get this withdrawal. It was the last match of the evening session and Tsurenko had to have had all day to work whatever the situation she was dealing with and to wait till a few minutes before the match to start to withdraw, that doesn't make sense to me.

ESPN says that this is Tsurenko's 8 w/o in her last 11 tournaments. I checked her stats, and she was RET or W/O 6 times since Eastbourne.
