Coco's movement on grass is spell-binding - long time since I have seen anyone move so fast and so easily.. a big asset on the grass - now, if only she can fix that forehand...

Interesting encounter next- coco vs Pegula...I would bet on Coco, since it is grass..interesting, though .I think Pegula won the only other time they have met...
the prediction on the tennis site is 58.5% gauff - roughly correct, I would say. Analytics is sometimes not too way off..

They were correct, and the score was not even close.
That last part surprised me.

Both Alona and Caroline Garcia retired today after dropping first sets. Giorgi and Kasatkina go to the next round.

Gauff vs Keys! yet another intriguing matchup.. on grass, Coco's movement and defense should prevail over Keys' power...

Keys' game is suitable for everything. When the balls are landing in.
it is that sooner or later she can't keep the balls in. But her strokes are so excellent.

Yes but she doesn't always get in position..footwork isn't world-class, to say the least

didnt surprise me at all.. Pegula is simply another of those somewhat over-rated players.. it is not that Coco is a Wimbledon champion, it is just that there is nothing that great about Pegula's game! But of course, most people here would disagree - that is fine.. I hope it is ok with people on this site if I say what I think.
No disrespect intednded to Pegula - she is a very good, solid Tier 2 player, just that she is not a Tier 1 player or even close (which Kvitova, Ostapenko, Jabeur are).. I repeat what I said earlier on another board - Pegula is comparable to Bencic, only slightly inferior to her. Alexandrova is better. Again, my estimate, people should not feel affronted.

I'm not affronted, but I don't think anything that you wrote above is true, except about Kvitova being top tier
