Cori 2.0 was on full display in that match. There was a point in the first set where Iga broke and Cori broke right back playing good tennis eventually winning the first set in a TB 7-6(2).

I expected Swiatek to adjust and Cori to come down from the high of winning her first set ever against Iga and Iga won the second set 6-3.

The third set was good, thinking on court tennis and adjusting to what your opponent is doing and Cori won it with her mental as well as physical game. Gilbert and Riba gave her a standing ovation when she wrested control of the set and match from Iga pointing at his head to indicate good thinking.

This was a huge win for Gauff and with next week off it's going to be interesting to see her form and draw for the US Open.

Sabalenka was up 4-1 vs Muchova. It's now 4 all first set.

About Coco: did everything finally clicked? That happens to all great players. Eventually, at one point, the whole package gelled.
Of course, I did not see the match because they did not show it. So I rely on your comments. Is she truly a 2.0 now?

Seemed to be an ankle injury - she received treatment in the 2nd set and wasn't really able to continue after that.

Sabalenka loses and line-drives the ball into the stands in anger after match point.

Luckily a fan caught it on the fly (proud baseball town, this), but players need to stop doing this (expletive) ffs.

Sabalenka out to Muchova who fixed her first set jitters and won 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-2.

To me, the most beautiful game in the game right now. Muchova's.
