It is astonishing to think that Venus first played here in 1997.

It's clay! Did you expect it to be quick?

that is what we call a slower ball. An AK Schmieds special. would have been 70-80K i reckon. cost Venus the set as it was there to put away.
Schmieds moving Venus around well now. Conditions are suiting her

It would have been slower than Sara Errani's serve lol

Don't think it's that bad, I've seen plenty worse

Edited for accuracy
but yeah, really gotta attack it. Venus did well when she chip and charged the 2nd this game. Schmieds now has the jitters(which is normal Schmieds). that one a while back didnt reach halfway.

that was an epic racquet smash by Benchetrit. will try and find it later.
Feel sorry for Venus here. She just can't hit a winner. The court is just too slow and Schmieds is just too fast. It is in her mind now. (as I say that, 2 break points. Oh please no Schmieds, not yet)
This main commentator can go and get stuffed though. Schmieds beat Venus here in 2013, Venus would not just thrash her if she was playing at her best here on clay.

2 hours into the De-Minuar match. 4-4 in the 2nd set.
Matt might get to watch the end of the match in the morning with the way it is going.

Feel for the 3, 4th matches on that court!

For the first time since 2015, Schmieds is in the 2nd round of a grand slam. Now that the floodgates have been broken, I am expecting a deep run. Azarenka is next, Serena in the 4th round to complete the Williams double. Halep might be a bit tough in the semis though. right?
Hopefully the Azarenka game is early

Found a version of it.
also, that male commentator for the Schmieds match was worse than Basil Zempilas

Agree, this guy hardly made a dent in his racket despite all his efforts. I suppose the clay is a softer surface. Definitely give him points for trying though!

Karma is a b1tch. Go Cats!
Glad I didn’t stay up all night to watch De Minaur lose in straights. Thought he’d do better than that. Guess he’s s*** on clay.

It's extra slow this year because of the conditions

I saw a bit of his match against Goffin, impressive young player. I didn't expect him to beat Goffin in straight sets

Yeah, I made the right choice. This is a terrible surface for Alex but the more concerning thing there is the 6-0 3rd set. That shouldn't be happening if he's a fighter.
And I don't rate Thompson but to only take 6 games off Albot is laughable.
Was hoping for some Murray magic too, damn...

Not a shock, both had awful draws. Watched a bit of ADM yesterday and it felt like the first set was crucial and it was.

Same for everyone though.
