[ashkor87]

Am very interested to see what happens in the Wang-Anisimova first encounter..both young players, both very talented..AI gives AA 80% chance..I think that seriously underestimates Wang..it is 60-40 at best..

[ashkor87]

I am no Pegula fan but I always thought it absurd that Keys would beat her here..the court is fast and Keys is nowhere near her 2025 form..

[ashkor87]

Wang's second serve is awesome...

[Suliso]

Anisimova did beat her relatively easily, though. As for Wanf I wonder why she hasn't done more on the tour so far.

[ponchi101]

Anisimova is playing well. Let's see if that 0-3 record vs Pegula has any meaning.

[jazzyg]

Musetti is, without question, a better player than Fritz (and Paul for that matter), who peaked with his US Open final two years ago but already has gotten the most out of his ability.

I understand the skepticism about Musetti's ranking to an extent since he has not won a tournament in three years, but I think he has a case for being the third-best player in the world right now. He certainly is more fun to watch than any of the other contenders.

[Suliso]

He'll have a golden chance to prove it by beating a well past prime Djokovic at a Slam.

[Suliso]

I agree he's better than Fritz, but is he better than Djokovic and Zverev? We'll find out very soon.

[jazzyg]

I forgot about Djokovic. Let me rephrase. Musetti has the case for being No.4. I think we'll find out he can't beat Djokovic in two days' time.

[ashkor87]

I dont think Fritz is 100% physically.. dont read too much into this result.

[ti-amie]

Hey AO fans

It seems this year at the AO there are coach’s boxes courtside on the corners.

Musetti has 4 people in his coach’s box.

Fritz’s is empty.

Why is Fritz choosing not to have his coaching team in a position where they can help him?

They interviewed Russell on ESPN before the match and he said it’s a better view from the stands vs on court

[JTContinental]

I dont think Fritz is 100% physically.. dont read too much into this result.

Yes he is dealing with knee tendinitis

[ashkor87]

Knee tendonitis sounds like a real long-term problem.. will not get fixed with drugs and exercise..hope he gets back in shape soon..good guy, we need him on the tour
