Could well happen but this Coco is really a better player..serves better, more positive..I don't think the technical problem with the forehand is fully fixed yet, but we can hope..I can see Gilbert is working on it (practice sessions seems be led by Gilbert..?)
I mean the hype, not necessarily the player. The media and the city are going to hype her like the Barbie movie. It will be insane.

I hear Coco got only 43% first serves in but won 73% of them..clearly, taking more risks...that is the essence of Coco2.0, not any improvements on her forehand..

Lots of room for improvement, then. Way too low to win the Open.

Townsend and anyone is a good combination (Fernandez and McNally for starters)

McNally I agree, Fernandez is too similar to Townsend.. Parks (or Venus!) would be better..

Djokovic struggling with the heat, and humidity today - don't feel like we've seen him struggle like this physically in quite a long time.

No miraculous recovery yet?

He's got things back now - the court is now in full shade. The only reason he's back in the match is that Alcaraz went off during the 2nd set, and gave him time to recover. Alcaraz was too willing to play defense on his own serve, and it cost him the lead.
