Some really tough ones to pick today very good days session on RLA

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Tsonga in 5
Federer in 4

Pavlyuchenkova in 3
Muguruza in 2

 

[Kaan]

Stan in 5
Federer in 3 (Going to be very anticlimactic IMO, no idea why it's the night session)

 

[Lotus]

I really want Mischa to win, just hoping he can play well tonight. Night session in a packed RLA with the roof open against Roger is an amazing experience for anyone.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

What is Seven's strategy today? Pump up doubles tennis like it means something?

 

[Johnboi]

Tsonga in 5
Federer in 3

Venus in 3
Mugu in 2

 

[ChookMFC]

I reckon Pav is a massive chance to make the final from this side of the draw. She's playing very well and it's a very weak field on this side.
Pav in 2

Coco is also on fire and has the aggressive play to beat (an admittedly back-in-form) Muguruza.
Vanders in 3

Wawrinka has just done what was required, but I think Tsonga has flown totally under the radar this tournament.
Tsonga in 4

Federer will wreck Zverev with his sheer shot selection. I hope I'm wrong though
Roger in 3 (Want Zverev in 5)

 

[adammania9]

Tsonga in 5
Federer in 3

V. Williams in 2
Vandeweghe in 3

 

[ChookMFC]

What are you doing Pav? You're wrecking my predictions already!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

More like the Pavs we know

 

[Demosthenes]

Federer vs Zverev will be the best netfest in years.

 

[Demosthenes]

Venus is not a player I'd count on to win matches any more. Way too up and down these days.

 

[BobbyMorri]

This game just seems to be heading in just one direction. Pav just hasnt been able to get on top

 

[ItsGameTime]

Is Venus going to win I wonder? I want a Serena vs Venus Grand Final.

 

[JackNah_8]

Venus is too inconsistent with her shots to win another slam.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Pav has a small lead again. Hold it now.

nope. given the mini break away again. good return by Venus though.

gets it again. nope, DF this time. come on girl, this is silly now

 

[ChookMFC]

Pav is JUST getting the upper hand a bit here. If she can win this tiebreak, I reckon she'll take the match.

 

[ItsGameTime]

I will take a page from the commentators. Is it too early to call a Serena vs Venus Final?

 

[ItsGameTime]

Venus wins, YES!!

 

[Lotus]

Double Fault ... and Venus through to semi finals.

 

[ChookMFC]

Those double-faults killed her today at so many important moments.

I'd like to see Venus somehow win it all this year, but she won't.

A Serena-Venus/Federer-Nadal set of finals would be a real blast from the past if it happened.
