Is it? I'm going with Tiafoe. You too?

Probably not. Goffin is a wily veteran. I wish Tiafoe is that reliable and I hope he wins. Probably going Alcaraz.

I'd take Sinner over Alcaraz, butbI won't because it's an unnecessary risk.

Coco is gonna lose.

Really great 3rd set though for Amanda.

BTW, Harmony freaking Tan. Sorry, Korpatsch!

What a win by Anisimova! Impressed albeit I still stick to my Badosa vs Zheng SF for now.

Pretty surprised by this. Next gets Harmony Tan then Halep, likely. So sorry, C4C. I'm sure you're a little sad to see Coco go out.

A very solid 3rd set from Anisimova, and Coco was a bit lost.
Good for Amanda, who has also gone through some tough times. She puts me out of contention for YCWJ, but that's ok.

I think Amanda can get past Harmony but she is playing out of her mind.

Who wrote here that there is no way Anisimova would trouble Gauff on grass?

As for Harmony let's not exaggerate. Anisimova is a far stronger player.

I have to update my SF: Still have Jabeur vs. Ostapenko. Now going with Halep vs. Pegula. I think Badosa loses to Kvitova today and Rybakina takes out Zheng in a tough one today. Then also the big prediction upset of Iga that I have been saying . That is gonna open up that side for Pegula and Halep.

Time to head out to the courts. Gonna be picked up in a few minutes.

Crush a few forehands for us

Two games into this match, and you guys are right: Cornet will beat Iga. Iga can't keep the ball inside the lines.
And I know it is early, but she is looking very bad.

I don't think he gets bored when not playing a top player - he gets scared.
Nick is so insecure that he's terrified when playing lesser players - he's scared that if he loses, people will look down on him and question his talent... Whereas if he loses to a top player, it's much more 'acceptable', and people will still respect his tennis ability.

I don't think she has prepared appropriately for this Slam. Understandable, maybe next year.
