First day of no crowds > So, I dont think the organisers give 2 hoots who plays who where. Kontaveit-Rogers is officially the weirdest match to ever get the prime time slot. Heard a conspiracy that it is because they think Barty will withdraw. Nah, not buying it. This side of the draw is a bit dead. Go Mertens.

Tbh I'm not that upset to be getting a refund on tomorrow's day session at RLA.

Alexandrova for the upset. She's mighty fine and can trouble Barty.

 

[FreoRicci]

Quite a bland line up.
Fognini De Minaur probably only volatile one that could be a 5 setter.

Khachanov v Berrettini is the pick of the games for me. Thiem will be sitting down in the hotel cheering for Khachanov. Berrettini is the QF match up for Thiem IIRC and he smoked him at the ATP cup. Berrettini can hit like Kyrgios but maintain it for longer and very dangerous on the fast courts.

Best match is the Pliskova vs Muchova match on the women’s side could go either way.

Khachanov v Berrettini is the pick of the games for me. Thiem will be sitting down in the hotel cheering for Khachanov. Berrettini is the QF match up for Thiem IIRC and he smoked him at the ATP cup. Berrettini can hit like Kyrgios but maintain it for longer and very dangerous on the fast courts.

that can't be true, as they play on opposite days of the draw.

I will post the draw on the opening page.

[LukeParkerno1]

I hope Pliskova chokes this set away

Hope not

 

[Sempfy]

I've never liked her or the way she plays and she's been known to have a good choke every now and then

EDIT - Case in point lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lol women’s tennis never change

 

[Sempfy]

Muchova to win 7-5 7-5

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Wow Pliscova was up by heaps lol wtf happened?

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Does anyone else think Pliscova looks like Helen Hunt a bit?

 

[atlas1]

Is this match pretty much ova?

[Sempfy]

From 0-5 down Muchova serving for the match!

Pliskova. finding new ways to fail at a slam.

A new coach hasn't made a difference

 

[BobbyMorri]

A new coach hasn't made a difference

I am shocked that I am not shocked. I mean, she was 5-0 up!!!!!!

yeah, there are some demons that will take a lot of fixing. good luck

 

[Acinath]

So many women's tennis players totally lose it between the ears, it's amazing

 

[juice t]

To think it was 2 years ago that Pliskova came from 1-5 and MPs down to knock off Serena

For a so called "good server" she's a trash server
