WOMEN'S DOUBLES ALTERNATE SIGN-IN CLOSES AT 10:30 AM
SIGN-IN LOCATED IN THE REFEREE'S OFFICE

[Owendonovan]

Is it horrible of me to want Penko to lose today in doubles?

[ashkor87]

Is it horrible of me to want Penko to lose today in doubles?

Well, she can't lose alone, unfortunately!

[ashkor87]

I fear for Coco today

[ashkor87]

Alexandrova very impressive thus far.. doing better than this even I expected...and she is one of my faves

[Owendonovan]

Iga's being challenged, though she should take match up a break in the 3rd.

[JTContinental]

Venus and Leylah take out the 6 seeds Perez/Kichenov in straight sets

[news727]

Wonder what's with the men's side today and their excessive durations that upend the schedules?

We start off with three 11am 4-setters:
- Rublev/Boyer (Grandstand): 1:58pm ending
- Wong/Walton (Court 10): 2:01pm ending
- Shapovalov/Royer (Court 7): 2:39pm ending (two tiebreaks!)

Then due to back-to-back-to-back 5-setters, we are able to have night sessions in three courts:
- Riedi/Cerundolo (Court 5): 12:35pm to 4:12pm, next match didn't start until 4:30pm
- Khachanov/Majchrzak (Court 11): 12:20pm to 4:55pm, last match didn't start until 5:15pm (2-0 comeback too!)
- Brooksby/Cobolli (Stadium 17): 1:05pm to 5:38pm, next match didn't start until 6pm

Over on the women's side, only 4 matches so far are 3-setters.

[JTContinental]

These two women are distraught! I’ve never seen Gauff so emotional on court before. Grim stuff.

While I think too much was made of Coco’s double faults in the first round, her serve has absolutely been a factor tonight. Fortunately for her Vekic is serving even worse than she is.

ETA: When Vekic took an MTO, Coco casually cranked in 10 straight first serves, and then double faulted on the first point of the tiebreak.

[ashkor87]

Coco playing badly, Vekic playing worse..and both in tears.

[JTContinental]

Pam is still in Vekic’s box

[Owendonovan]

Coco needs a month or so break.

[ti-amie]

Coco needs a month or so break.

For sure.

Someone also made the point that allowing on court coaching can be more stressful for a player because the player can't take the mental deep breath they need sometimes to calm themselves and focus during a match.

[ashkor87]

Anisimova finding the court too quick..not setting up in time, specially on forehand. I don't expect her to do much here

[ashkor87]

Commentators don't know enough about tennis to recognise something as basic as this
