ATP M1000 WTA 1000 Cincinnati 8/13 - 8/20 2023

Lajovic is a solid player that feels at ease on hards. I would not make much about this loss. Fodder for my theory of parity, and my second theory of how hard it is to carry a streak in either tour.

I am more surprised about Collins. She is a solid hard courter, so that is too lopsided. Even if it was Iga on the other side of the net.

I will try and find a picture. Collins had a pretty strong wrap on her left knee and couldn't really push off on it.

Zheng changed a bit her serve technique and it’s looking quite shaky.

She should be escorted out.

WELL- Zheng apparently fixed THAT problem today. (It was fun when V was up 6-1, 2-1 with a break.)

After a messy start, Zheng finds her range and puts a little more pressure on Williams’ forehand, and that’s all it takes to make Venus disintegrate. Qinwen wins 11 straight games from 0-2 in the 2nd and goes on to prevail, 16 62 61. #AmazingScorelines #tenni

Yes, I’m aware Casper Ruud (7) was beaten by Aussie Max Purcell (70) but that’s not an upset because Ruud is just falling to his proper level which is well outside the top-20. #Tennis

She took a weird bathroom timeout at 2-1 in the second set and wasn't right after that. Hopefully not yet another injury.

Rune vs Tsitsipas now for the 4th seed at the US Open with Rublev, Ruud, and Sinner out.

Rainy. Grumpy players. Injuries galore. It will be good by Friday.
