Because Deminaur is so fast, and will run forever, and Novak has his injury, I will give Alex TWICE his usual chances of beating him.
2%.

Bencic was up 4-2 first set. Sabalenka is now up 5-4. Bencic levels it at 5 all.

It's rather ironic that Sabalenka won the 1st set on a double fault...

Nobody does drive volley like Bencic!!

Bencic is disappointing thus far.
She had the 1st set by the collar... Sabalenka was frustrated and making errors... Then Bencic just disappeared and Sabalenka has taken full advantage.

Bencic is doing Bencic things. It's why I never think she's going to do well in a major.

I have that view about Sabalenka in Majors.

I agree. They're two sides of the same coin.

Doing well in a major, to me, is the quarters.
And both Aryna and Belinda have been there. They have done well before.

Yes, generally...
But I think that when you're in the top 10 or so in the rankings (and/or among the top 10 seeds or so in a Major), the standards should be higher... to the point where multiple participations without at least making the Finals can be seen as underachieving.

All three women's matches currently being played are intriguing...

Magda Linette hung in there and stuck around after being behind in the first set... got it to a tiebreak, which she won rather decisively.
Garcia has to do more efficient problem solving if she is to win this one against a stubborn opponent...

Vekic won the 1st set easily - 6-2 - over Linda Fruhvirtova... but the kid came back to win the 2nd 6-1. Going to the 3rd now...

Pliskova steamrolled Zhang 6-0 in the 1st... Now on serve at 4-4 in the 2nd...

Oof - Garcia was hanging tough and then a double double fault.

Linette serving for match - at same time Vekic breaks to do the same
