Apparently she has a shoulder injury - that's why she hasn't played since the Olympics.

by ponchi101 And Thiem has retired.
Over, under or just the correct achievements?
I always felt that he ran around his excellent BH too much.

Early on in his career, I never found him exciting he watched so I was very surprised (still am) at his achievements. Overachiever for me.

He may not have been my favorite, but the injuries are a very unfortunate derailment to his career and I'm glad he made the decision to stop before he wrecks his body further.

by JTContinental Mertens down a set to Kudermetova—she had a better draw before she replaced Jabeur as a seed

by ti-amie Townsend looked as if she was on her way to a third set against Trevisan but she upped her game and walks away with a straight set win 6-2, 7-5. That third set was a battle.

by ti-amie I'm not an expert on court speed but I watched the Qinwen, Cori and Taylor matches as well as part of Fritz' match and the courts don't look to be playing extremely fast. The real heat as far as weather is concerned will come on Wednesday in NYC and then the temps will drop again.

by dryrunguy I will miss Diego. Very much.

by ponchi101 I won't miss him one bit. But, what a career for a man that played at a disadvantage on every match. One truly gutsy player, and one that I believe will be a great coach, if he goes that way.
For certain he will be DC captain one day. And likely a good one.

by JTContinental Azarenka stunk on ice in that first set

by JTContinental Looks like Tiafoe is working with David Witt

Oh. :shock:

Has Witt ever worked with an ATP player before?

You called the Nakashima upset.
One has to start wondering about Rune. I know, there has been an incessant change of coaches; mom remains glued to the chair and one has to wonder if she is the one calling all shots.
But, eventually, if you are really good the results come, even if sporadically. Is Rune good? The serve is not bad but it is hardly impressive. All the strokes are solid, but nothing is outstanding. Is he like a Gasquet, who was expected to win majors and a lot of other tournaments, and then didn't?
I know, too early. But he has been in the tour for a few years now. And the recent results are extremely pedestrian.

by ashkor87 Rune has no real weapons, I feel...he is at best like Bautista Agut..

and Nakashima is a seriously underrated player..

by jazzyg Rune has a lot of weapons. The last two posts are recency bias at its worst.

He just needs to get his head on straight, which is no guarantee. He moves a heck of a lot better than Gasquet, who was a below-average athlete.

by jazzyg That Stephens-Burel debacle is right up there with a Venus Williams-Mertens match on clay from about five years ago as the single-worst match I've ever watched.

Stephens was up 6-0, 3-0 and two breaks, then 6-0, 4-1 and two breaks, blew that lead with shockingly awful tennis, then was up 2-0 and 4-2 in the third set and served for the match at 5-4 before losing 0-6, 7-5, 7-5.

Under - the fact that he never won the French - had he stayed healthy he would have had more chances.

by ashkor87 Impressive debut by Jovic! Looking forward to more but hope we give her time and space, she is absurdly young...

Could be, I haven't watched Rune much lately, probably nobody has...

I am not putting you on here. But please, tell me what are Rune's weapons. I don't see them.
And about recency bias. RECENTLY, he made the Semis in Cincy. But before that, he has done nothing for quite a while. Which is why I am asking.

It was bleeping terrible. It was one of the worst matches I watched. They took turns being awful for stretches. It was coupled with seeming "experimentation" by ESPN where they wouldn't show the score for points at a time.

Thankfully Tiafoe was playing on the other ESPN channel.

by FredX A very shaky performance by Tiafoe. His play is as sloppy as the way he manages his belongings during a match. A sweaty and disorganized mess haphazardly strewn in a pile on the floor.

ESPN had a power outage that knocked out most of the cameras, and equipment for a period of time last night.

He moves really well. His forehand and backhand can do damage. He has good court sense. He's the total package. You don't win 19 matches out of 21 in a month with four consecutive finals, including a 1000 tourney win with consecutive victories against Wawrinka, Hurkacz, Rublev, Alcarez, Auger-Aliassime and Djokovic, as he did late in 2022 without having a big game. He also is a big head case who does not look to be giving it his all in a lot of matches, and I'm not sure that's totally correctable. We will find out in the next few years.

But he got an extended close-up of the Cadillac logo on his signature Big Foe sneakers that he only wears to/fro the court

Yes, 2022. Which is the point. He seemed really promising and that run at the Paris Masters brought big expectations.
And now he is losing in the 1st round of a surface that suits him. A mystery to me.
