This is a bummer for Aryna.

(It also messes up the draw, which is what many were afraid of if Novak withdrew late.)


(And it nullifies the bet I had made on Bektas)

So Raducanu dodges bullet #1. Zarazua will be a 45 minute match.

And Azarenka out too. I really can't remember a grass season in which so many players went down to injuries.

Why was the roof closed on Court 1 while play continued on outside courts?

I would assume to be sure that the Sinner match would get completed, if darkness had become a factor.

A big everything, including a big frame. His movement on grass is difficult.

Who had Erika Andreeva going farther than Mirra in this tournament? Big win from the younger Fruhvitrova over the younger Andreeva.

Well probably no one, as Erika had lost last week, and only got into the draw this morning.

Not literally… Although one could have gamed it out knowing Erika was in qualifying.
