    You were correct. Crowd is into it though right now. Daniil not fucking around and I assume he’s going to break Nicks soul shortly.

    Good for Danil. This is why I can't watch Krygios matches - the crowds he tends to attract are indeed low IQ cretins with no respect for the opponent. :meh:

    OOP for tonight is pretty great.

    Alcaraz-Matteo is a huge match, Shapo-Opelka and Korda-PCB are quality. On the womens side, Vika-Svitolina, Kostyuk-Badosa and Krej-Penko all in the day session.

    Two flashy women's match early in the morning. Osaka-Anisimova with Amanda as a live dog there and Barty-Giorgi.

    Underdog with a legitimate chance of pulling the upset. Darren Cahill has worked his magic with her.

    Yeah she really needed a good coach. The unexpected death of her dad had put down a spiral. Im glad to see her game has come back

    It just looks like sebi is tired or sick. If he doesn’t win the point on his serve, PCB has such a major advantage and is working him

    I'm shocked.

    Hilarious that she had the nerve to complain about the time violation she received. :rolleyes:

    They were both murdering the ball. Amanda serving and shot selection has gone from non existent to absolutely insane. Amazing.

    Karatsev in his third match, not even half way through and he's approaching 10 hours of tennis for the tournament.

    Can’t believe Carlos didn’t come through after coming back from 0-2. Matteo got hurt in the 5th set as well

    Alcaraz winning 3 points in a row after missing the overhead to give Matteo match point at 5-6, 30-30 in the 5th is some killer shit. Kid is just 18!

    End of Anisimova-Osaka is on TC. Amanda's just thumping the ball, and her body language is so.much better than it used to be.
