Coco’s match against Hercog was the highest-rated match in Britain so far this tournament by a wide margin, even topping the hyped Nadal/Kyrgios meeting. Meanwhile, Coco was trending No. 1 in the U.S. and we got this tweet from a former First Lady: She seems great under pressure, but I hope she’s ready for the corrupt media.

Ali Riske just took out Bencic. Kei needs to do more of this in early rounds of Slams:

Yas of Jordan 🇯🇴

Ronnie from London 🇬🇧

Lee Woon from Seoul 🇰🇷

Ian from Mexico 🇲🇽

Gauff saved match points against Hercog and won a tough three-setter. Cojones. Meanwhile, Novak faced his first big challenge with Hurkacz, but came through with just one dropped set, and Humbert defeated FAA in straights, scuppering the anticipated FAA/Djokovic battle.

Hot.

Anderson out to Guido Pella, who won in straights.

William from Taipei 🇹🇼

Julius from Stuttgart, Germany 🇩🇪

Even though he was super passive on return games, Rafa handled his biz against Nick. Glad he put that dude in his place after all of Nick’s trash talk. Meanwhile, Gilles Simon choked big time against Sandgren.

Barty/Bencic and Stephens or Konta vs. Kvitova could be interesting R4s.

Tavonn from New Jersey

Kerber goes out to Lauren Davis.

Lokesh from Faridabad, India 🇮🇳

There’s a Siegemund/Strycova match today. Can you imagine the amount of ‘tude on court?

Jasper Liang from China 🇨🇳 (who is like a super thot)

Eduardo Sánchez-Ubanell from Spain

Coco Gauff is into the 3rd round after beating Rybarikova.

Interesting take, given how lines between film/TV have blurred (or become nonexistent) in the new streaming ecosystem:

Wow at Verdasco coming back from two sets and 0-3 down against a Brit on Centre Court.

Opelka beat Stan in a long five-setter. He’s in the same section as fellow servebots Raonic and Anderson.
