Talk About Tennis 2.0

so, who is Lukas Klein and what is he doing to hang with Zverev? 5-5 in the 5th?

Swiatek will not win this tournament. My money still on Rybakina.

Pegula has been unwell..not surprised she lost today . Some GI illness I heard, must be making her weak...

And my favorite Michelsen won! Beat Lehecka...has a lot of potential...

Collins has announced she is retiring after this season!

Kasatkina and Davidovich Fokika out as well.

Kasatkina is not a surprise, she was playing a great player...

Why did Pegula lose? Is my diagnosis above correct? That she was unwell ..?

a major champion is a major champion.. class is permanent, form is temporary

Would you still say that about Murray or Wawrinka?

Of course yes
In Sloane's case, she is not injured or anything .

Rybakina's lack of foot speed is really being exposed today.

I'm at work so not watching, but clearly Rybakina must be struggling mightily against a nothing special opponent. If not her who else is the favorite from the top half of the draw? So far none have impressed. Maybe Svitolina or Zheng?

I think her ankle is injured....
