[7] Sabalenka vs. [10] S. Williams
[15] Swiatek vs. [2] Halep

So very quiet, both on court and outside it. Even days are duds. the 3 main girls matches are the most exciting. Mug and Osaka have never played and have big big games who can kill anyone if they are playing well. Likewise Serena Sab, but that one should be super nosy as well. And Halep Swiatek matches are normally quick where one player puts in a clinic. Be interesting if Novak can get up after a tough game last match.

personally, going for all the favs in the men, though wouldn't be surprised if Novak loses. Yes, i know about the 14-0 record, but he was not right last night. Girls, going for Von, Swiatek, Osaka and Sab.

tomorrows schedule looks decent. Think serve bot has a good chance against djokovic

Great line up today. Looking forward to all the matches.

Depends if Novak is fit

Ch9 have included fake crowd noises in the broadcast today

 

[pepsi]

Seems like the broadcaster has added some crowd noise (clapping) to the coverage. They've also put a big ao backdrop behind the court on the coverage end. Wonder if they are thinking about screens showing fans from home?

Good start to this match, lots of winners off the osaka FH already.

If Novak is in poor enough condition to lose to Raonic, he shouldn't be playing.

 

[Andronicus]

Please Sabalenka.

Please.

 

[pepsi]

Muguruza playing very well. Smart tennis as well.

Hsieh is disgusting. Like I honestly can’t stand her. Yeah, yeah I understand what she does and how she uses angles and manipulates the ball but I l just can’t stand it. Getting comfortably beaten in the rally and she chucks in a giant moon ball. I hate tennis like that.

 

[Hamingja]

At least put the main game on your secondary channel if you are interrupting it for this bullshit

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Muguruza looking awesome

 

[JackNah_8]

Hsieh is disgusting. Like I honestly can’t stand her. Yeah, yeah I understand what she does and how she uses angles and manipulates the ball but I l just can’t stand it. Getting comfortably beaten in the rally and she chucks in a giant moon ball. I hate tennis like that.

Me too. I don't like her style of play

Can’t wait till she gets flogged

What a time to interrupt

At least dan isn't talking

 

[pepsi]

Hsieh has a 2-0 record against Muguruza if they meet next round.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Really good match this

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hsieh has a 2-0 record against Muguruza if they meet next round.

Then I hope Osaka gets through

 

[Drummond]

Really good match this

This is easily the best women’s match I’ve seen this tournament. Ball striking and even serving has been excellent.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Dont like the fake noises.

its all very fake..... The silence was deafening but better than the audio track of people talking that they are using during the points.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Vondorusa needs to grow a brain such a silly game plan

 

[BobbyMorri]

Vondorusa needs to grow a brain such a silly game plan

heard she was injured. either way, it is a good tournament for her after being injured for so so long.

needs it as well, as her points from the French open final will be coming off soon.

Very high quality. Loving the constant shifts in momentum.
