'23 Wimbledon Day 4 Order of Play and Discussion

[ashkor87]

Isn't Lahyani French? How come he is umpiring a match involving García? I thought they tried to avoid that?

Oh I see he is Swedish...

[ashkor87]

Leylah fighting well but I think Garcia's serve will win the day

[ashkor87]

now, as I feared, Cirstea has beaten Ostapenko.. well, well. Cirstea is certainly enjoying a resurgence.. wonder who/what is behind it..

[ashkor87]

Cirstea playing very well these days, Osta better watch out. Krejcikova too - Andreeva is quite capable of knocking her off, on grass..

both came to pass, in very different ways, I guess.. Cirstea is probably the most under-rated player in the world right now..

[ponchi101]

I won't go to the extreme that she is the most under-rated player right now. She had a good early season, and then went off the map.
Tommy Johansson is working with her now, and it has been a good partnership.

And Ostapenko: when she loses, it is usually because she keeps hitting balls at 100% on every shot. And somedays, they don't land in. And those days are not infrequent.

And lives in Spain

I can't keep track of Cirstea's comings and goings from relevance/dangerous status.

[ashkor87]

Cirstea has moved to a different level this year, rather consistently now.

[Suliso]

I'm pleasantly surprised that both Vekic and Bencic won today. Both had tough opposition.

Cirstea has moved to a different level this year, rather consistently now.

What kind of different level? I'm not sure what you mean. She had good tournaments in Miami, and Indian Wells, and won a 125 event in May but otherwise it's been first & second round loses

[skatingfan]

Fritz out to Ymer, the Younger, in five sets. Fritz let two sets to love.

[mick1303]

If Rybakina survives one more round, her chances will increase significantly. This would mean that she's over that phase, associated with recovery from virus.

As with all tennis siblings- Mikael is to be known as the Good Ymer.

(Karolina= Good Pliskova, Kristýna= Bad Pliskova, etc. etc.)

Fritz record in Slams are not good so no surprise here losing after being up 2 sets

[skatingfan]

This implies that I remember which Ymer is which - I only know he's the younger one cause they mentioned it in commentary during the match.
