Brat takes opening set. This is the first match of his entire professional career where his mommy was not in the box.

Brat is broken by Beast. He's quite subdued without mommy hovering nearby.
Edit: sadly he's doing what young Agassi used to do - if he gets broken once, he tanks the set. Gets broken again with no effort, just to hurry up and get to set 3.

Safiullin is no joke.

He's a beast and hasn't made many UE's.

He's just so immature on court it's ridiculous. His volleying is at a sickeningly low level. He's lucky to have broken just now.

Agree, gives me strong Lapentti vibes...
Something you do not want to see in a young but still up and coming top player predicted to possibly be among the best of his generation

Yes, he took the strategic off court break and played a clean third set. But his tanking and brattiness when not hitting clean winners every point is tiresome.

Bublik goes out with a whimper to a part timer.

Is Raonic still fat?

No. He seems to have trimmed down.

Haven't seen Bublik play in a while but his movement didn't look as good as I remembered it. Also while I don't particularly enjoy watching Raonic, there is no denying the pace and effectiveness of his serve. His ground strokes wrere also quite impressive today with surprisingly good placement given the pace he puts on them. Some very fast winners.

Sinner on soon. Will catch on the games played so far too. It good to have the tennis back again.

De minaur is playing great. Goffin had some good moments, but not at the needed level.
He’s still quite fat for a sportsman.

Is it just me or did Sinner tweak his forehand a bit? It looks cleaner.
Yep, the takeback is more fluid.

Pretty tough to break a good server here. As expected Botic tries through aggression as the longer the rally goes...

Just tuned in to the match, what has been the deciding factor so far?
Pleased to see Grigor through against Sonego in straights. I hope he has another excellent run here, although Fucsovics can be a handful.
An excellent result for Holger against Safiulin, who played very well at times and was ardent in the 2nd set. To retrieve and maintain the momentum in the decider was impressive. His antics aside, I hope he can sustain / improve his form, and get through against Shevchenko.
No surprises in the De Minaur / Goffin match – I like David's game but he had to come through the qualies and can't hold up to a robust opponent. ADM will be pleased to get through to the QF
Jannik continues his superb form and eases into the latter stages of the tournament against the world number 82. I anticipate more of the same against Gael.
Sorry to note that Denis is out and Alex Bublik too. I thought Raonic had retired ……
For tomorrow I hope Grigor / Holger / Tallon get through.
Musetti / Bublik playing doubles here – interesting pairing, I’ll try and watch a match of theirs. My pick here are Roger-Vasselin / Mahut, for old times sake!
Felix up a set against Andrey - who is somewhat bemused! Lool! I like Felix's dignified demeanour. Is he going to remain focused and get this done in straights?

Has Felix's level dropped noticeably compared to the first set?
I think Felix is very good today.
