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.

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.

Paul-Marie from Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮

Muguruza lost to Haddad Maia. Meanwhile...

Yikes. I thought Stefanos might actually turn things around in that match. Holy moly. And Gauff just beat Venus in straights.
