Terrible overrule from the chair ump, good job to Bianca who challenged the chair ump who overruled the line judge.

That ball was clearly out..

Bianca up 5-0 in the tiebreaker. Begu doesn’t have a shot in this third set judging by how she’s played since Bianca first broke her.

Venus looks lethargic. No serve.

The outfit is fire tho.
80mph first serves? Very unlike Venus...


Queenus moves on :D

Also, Twitter says they’re not using the usual # of linespeople on each court because the rain has stretched everything so thin.

O Donna! Hitting NCH every week lately - maybe #22 after this? Stan moonlighting as coach, or is it the other way round?

15 year old Cori Gauff takes on #22 Kasatkina, that has to be a rush for the teenager. DK struggling at 1-6 for the year.

That's a tough loss for Vika who was defending SF points from last year.

She plummets outside the top 50 and drops at least 21 spots to #67 in the world.

I know that almost all of the players are sponsored and are obligated to wear the gear. With the Nike sponsored players, why do we keep seeing matches where both players have the same attire? The new Nike line as a lot of color schemes, but yet we've seen two players dressed almost identical. Didn't they call each other before the match?:unsure::giggle:

Halep as #2 doesn't even get the Grandstand and instead assigned to court #1. While the much lower ranked USA players get the Stadium (Isner[7], Serena[10], Osuigwe(WC), Collins [25], Venus [43], Stephens[4]). I'm telling myself, "What do you expect?" :D

Even Kyrgios gets the Grandstand. Kyrgios matches attracts crowds - hopefully he doesn't tank - again.

You know for sure you're in a tournament in US, and tennis, like many other pro tournaments, is an entertainment business.

I guess nothing new here. Moving on ...

And you know you are in the US if you try to use Tennis Channel. Nationalism rears its ugly head . . .

Yup, for a brief second I tried to work out why I’m watching Anismova v Kontaveit and not #1 Osaka v Yickmayer and then I remember Amanda is American. Can’t help but think they wouldn’t do that to Djokovic though.

What a save on match point for Anismova. She was up 4-2 in this set but has lost 3 games in a row and was about to lose 4.

Now has game point.

Anismova throws her racquet at her chair. Had chances to go up a double break in that 3rd set but loses.

Very good by Kontaveit.

Osaka throws her racket on the ground after a bad challenge. She'll serve to stay in the set again.

Not liking the negative energy from her today, she's been in control most of the match, no need to stress out now.
