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.

Ali Riske just took out Bencic.

 

Kei needs to do more of this in early rounds of Slams:

 

 

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.

I'm in Tennessee and missing all of this 😫

 

😂 

 

 

Barty out to Ali Riske, so no back-to-back Slams for the new world No. 1.

The Coco Cinderella story at Wimbledon ended with Halep, who won in straights. Hopefully again she has good people in her camp to ground her.

 

And Pliskova is out. Barty will remain No. 1.

Ugh. Petra, you had one job.

 

This might actually open the door to SW24, but she has to be on her game from here on out. 

Berrettini completely rolled over.

Pella beat Raonic. And meanwhile, his next opponent...

 

 

 

Oh good lord.

 

 

Tennis journalists are the WORST.

Fognini makes a terrorist statement and hit with much less.  But folks will continue to debunk Serena's [very valid] sexism and racism talk.  Why hasn't Fognini been suspended?  Why is Nick still getting away with his sh!t?!
