    Fantastic win by Serena. Unreal level of tennis in these first two women's matches.

    He ain't coming back this time. Dimitrov is a much smarter player than Kyrgios, and he's fresh.

    What the hell is happening with the men today? :idk:

    Edit: Holy shit, 5-0 already! He can't be fit, surely.

    Wow. Dimitrov or Karatsev (so Dimitrov) will be in the semis. :shocked:

    Halep-Swiatek is good.

    Who do you think is the better chance to beat Williams? I need her to win this match...

    Simona's looking like shit the last few games. Easy wrap-up for Iga in the first set

    Normally I’d say Halep, but Simona just hasn’t been at her best level this week. I’d very much like to see Serena’s power against Swiatek’s all-around game.

    Iga just self destructing.

    paulski Well-Known Member

    Probably the better result - either of them would test Williams, but Iga is still a bit of an unknown quantity. Simona can certainly beat her if she brings it.

    I was very confused by his tweet initially, where he referred to '18yo Kenin' - I thought this was a years old story about the players... :blush:

    Don’t even care what happens here just need Raonic to put more miles on the tires. Based on how it’s going if he can take just a set it’s another 3 hours.

    If it accomplishes nothing else, it'll make Djokovic look even more foolish with his bullshit 'torn muscle' claims when he wins this in 4 sets.

    You can almost set your watch by the guy, huh? :meh:

    I don't give a damn how many slams he ends up winning - he will never be the GOAT for me. Won't even be in the grand final, either.

    Would love for this to be a good night for the American women. Both Pegula and Rogers are live underdogs, and Brady a healthy favorite.
