    I play volleyball twice a week so I'm hoping I'm okay but that is a huge concern

    What a crazy net cord at 0-30 to change this first game

    There is just no way TP can hold this service game after blowing the tiebreaker like he did and not converting 0-30

    That point was absolutely just the best tennis can offer and just a bad mistake from Sinner to finish the break

    This was such an interesting matchup. I bet Navarro pregame at + money, hoping she took the lead, with the plan on taking Badosa + money live. Worked out this time

    Hilarious that Zverev Fritz is a top 5 match up on the mens side anytime or anywhere.

    Zheng is pretty good. And stunning. But for some reason I just don’t want to like her. So glad to see her getting stomped

    I will be really excited to see Emma play Saba assuming this holds. Crowd will be electric if she can frustrate Saba early.
