Ranking update:
- Sloane is currently back inside the Top130. Could be ranked right outside the Top100 if she wins her next match (great progress for just her 4th tournament back).
- Halep and Svitolina are still in with a shot at number 1 this week.
- Surprisingly Aga's still inside the top10.
- Barty's result this week will put her at a career high ranking somewhere near or inside top40.

Tiafoe beat Zverev? Major uproar among the tennis fan base because Tiafoe 'over celebrated' his win? Sounds like the same nonsense over NFL players celebrating in the end zone.

So sad to see Barty ousted so easily and definitively from the tournament.

Yeah, Tiafoe went overboard. Acted like he had won a Slam. It was just a 2nd rd match.

They all go overboard after their first big win.

Not all, yet some do, especially girls that dismiss Serena. However, Tiafoe jumped all over and around the court, went to the opposite side of the court and slapped hands with his friends/coach and some other person in the stands. That's excessive for just a 2nd rd match and against an opponent who is just one year older than he is. It's not like he whipped legends, like Roger, Rafa or Novak. He beat a guy that is just as young as himself, but with far greater achievements and ranking. Not cause for the excessive exuberance he displayed for a 2nd rd match.

If Keys loses, she'll weep. She had match points.

Got to be a die hard tennis fan to go back to the stadium this late, after rain delay.
