Really thought zverev would at least make to finals here "at home" - so much for that.

shocking defeat for Zverev at the hands of Garin.. Zverev showing the strains of his upcoming court trial?

I thought about that too.
But let's remember that Garin is not far removed from a couple of stellar years. It may have been that Garin won it, not Zverev lost it.

Yes, certainly.. couldn't see any part of the match, though, not even a YouTube clip..

Rybakina won the first set vs Iga, who is making quite a few errors, more than I'd expect (eye test, not looking at stats).

Iga lands so many returns right at the server's feet. When she has to move a bit to return and can't return as offensively, the opponent starts the point in a much better position.

This should be in the Stuttgart thread...

Returning right at Iga's feet is probably the right strategy - remember, the goal is to push her onto her back foot. Once Iga gets onto her front foot, she becomes a veritable monster...

oops, sorry!
