That was probably an especially bitter pill for Caroline to swallow, given the animosity between those two.

 

Maria gets Ash Barty next, whom she beat in Rome last year.

Playing like that, I fully expect SugarPimp to plow right thru Barty, who's match yesterday was a total snoozefest.  Sakkari should have done better.  It was almost like watching 2 kids play pitty pat.  Barty needs to go back to Cricket if she can't be an interesting player.

You have been serving ace after ace and you double fault on match point?   Awful.....retire Verdasco!

[ChitHappens]

Poor Verdasco!  He has to be kicking himself right now.  Gonna take a minute to get over that.  

 

And poor me.  I just don't have a desire to see Cilic any longer than absolutely necessary

Poor us....I am not a Cilic fan at all.

[Faulkner]

A double fault on match point (or on someone else’s MP) is just classic Verdasco.

 

Cilic is certainly more of a threat to Rog than Verdasco, who has only taken one set off Fed in six matches and that was 10 years ago.

Tiafoe has a sick body:

 

 

[ChitHappens]

Yikes!

 

 

[Faulkner]

^Yep. Like I said, classic Verdasco. He did the same thing at the end of the season down match point to lose the Shenzhen title to Nishioka.

I swear I would probably retire from a match if I had to play Hsieh for 2 sets.  Radwanska has nothing on her!

[Soapsuds]

And what's up with RBA? He beat Karen last night?!

I thought for sure Karen would beat him. I noticed that Karen was playing his game though...not really being more on the offensive.....

The worst for me is Konta followed by Radwanska and Hsieh......

[ChitHappens]

Hsieh shots...

 

 

[Soapsuds]

Wow...that second serve of hers is horrendous .......

 

Every time the umpire says her name it sounds like he is saying sh!t.......LOL

 

And what's up with all these new hot male umpires....yummmmmm......LOL

[ChitHappens]

That 2nd serve is about  30 mph yet she's up a set and a break!
