Does Nike hate Alcaraz, or is Alcaraz colour-blind? What is with these colour combos for his shirts, and his complexion, and then black shorts?

Impressed with Keys win over BHM .. of course the court doesn't help BHM at all, and Madison doesn't need any help...

Looking forward to Osaka-Gauff next, will tell us a lot about where they are...on past record and fundamentals, Osaka should win..the court is slow enough that her power can make the difference...

On past record meaning...?

They are 2-2 head to head

Osaka is a 4 time major champion, Gauff has one. Osaka is a former champion here, Gauff isn't.

Rublev lost to someone I've never heard off (yet to reach the top 100)...

Only one player (Madeleine Pegel with 29) since the open era has had a longer string of losses, and that was back at the start of the tour when I'm sure there was a wide range in the level of skills for players.

And of course...she won her next match too.

I picked Osaka for Predictions, but She has not recovered her movement. For all her power, Osaka's movement on hard courts was very special. Without that, it is a different game for her.

Bu Yunchaokete recently qualified for the US Open.
