Such a lucky draw for Begu...

Boy, Kovinic let Iga off the hook serving at 5-5 in the second. Four errors, I think.

Iga is showing that she isn’t immune to pressure and some shaky play. Honestly I think she is beatable in this tournament. Definitely on a faster court. She can be rattled. And the serve isn’t that great.

When she loses it will be because her level dropped and her opponent will play a superb match. Stating the obvious, but that combination will be needed.

Yes of course. And a good strategy - I think there are some attackable parts of her game, where an opponent could put pressure on her. I think the streak will creep into her head at points, too. Kovinic had a decent chance today once she broke back and had the momentum.

I could see Badosa doing it if she gets in a first strike.

This match may help Swiatek in the long run as a player always have one difficult match

Maybe. She got through a patch of nerves but didn’t play her way out of trouble. I could see Zheng taking it to her.

Going back to when she trailed Halep a set and a break, Zheng has won 19 of her last 20 games.

That's quite the run.

Kasatkina is playing solid tennis. That was a quick dismantling of Rogers.
I say she has a very good chance of beating the winner of Sabalenka/Giorgi, as those two can go bonkers with their shots on court.

Rough day for the French players so far.

Cornet did not win a game before retiring. Simon has lost the first eight games against Cilic, whom he has a 6-1 advantage against in their head to head (the one loss was a five-setter at the U.S. Open when Cilic won every other set he played in the tournament).

JeanJean almost lost 6-1, 6-1 before a brief comeback attempt against Begu.

It is showing why Simon has to retire. That game simply will not work anymore at tour level.

What happened to Badosa? they just showed she retired, but the last point did not say much. She didn't even call for a trainer.

Kudermetova was playing great against Badosa, was looking like she was going to win today, up a set and then a break. And then Paula retired from the match so suddenly that it didn't even air on what I was watching and the commentator didn't even know it occurred, said he was writing something down quickly and she was gone. Said he'd never seen a decision and exit made quicker. Coming out of a commercial break that was no longer than a minute, the next thing we saw was Veronika putting on a jacket.

Veronika had the H2H advantage over Paula, so this isn't a shocking win in the least, but that was a strange exit for sure.


ETA: No interviews done post-match because the exit was so quick, they didn't have any warning they should set things up.

I saw Badosa had called the trainer to do something with her leg..thigh region...so yes, an injury

Missed the Giorgi match though..anyone see what happened?
