    Scratchy in clutch moments which isn’t unexpected, but Sakkari-Andreescu is fun

    Good girl. I was hoping she'd have enough left to give Sakkari a good shake. :dennard:

    Jeez, Garcia and Jabeur competing with Kasatkina for the title of most out of form player in the top 10. The 3 of them are awful right now. :facepalm:

    I think I know who he is, but that still a hella bad loss for Zverev. Still a ways off his best.

    Didn’t think Eubanks stood a chance down a set and a break to Coric, but came all the way back. Biggest win of his career I believe.

    For sure but to serve for the match in the 2nd set is a rough one.

    Only getting a QF and R32 out of the Sunshine double is a pretty huge whiff for her given her form this year.

    Agree because she was on fire to start the year.

    Im honeslty scared for her if she doesn't win a Slam by the end of 2024. She might get into her own head

    Pegula over Collins 6-1, 7-6 (0) is wonderfully bizarre.

    If Khachanov strikes the ball as well as he did today then the less than 100% Tsitsipas could be at risk

    Not at all. He's like 4th or 5th in the race for Turin. He's leveled up for sure.

    Elena just continues to win. Would probably be top 3 right now if she got points for Wimbledon.
