a few interesting matches for me. the three that I look forward to the most are:
Wang vs Mertens
Bencic vs Ostapenko
Anisimova vs Pavlyuchenkova


And of course Sharapova vs Radwanska... oh no... wait... Osaka knocked out Sharapova ... :-) :-)

Bencic vs Ostapenko
Found some interesting story about these two.. They were going after each other as juniors. :)

2011 Les Petits As U14 SF (indoor hard) - Ostapenko 6-1, 6-4
2011 Czech Junior Open R3 (clay) - Bencic 1-6 6-4, 6-2
2012 Canadian Junior Championships R3 (outdoor hard) - Ostapenko 0-6, 7-5, 6-3

This will be their first time meeting as Pro. It's a long story in the making.

Haha. Love stuff like this. Funny!

I recall Novak reminiscing about his junior days and first meeting Murray with whom he roomed. He said he was shocked how white he was. He said he'd never seen anyone his shade before. He asked him if the sun didn't shine in the UK. Of course, Andy, like almost every Brit, said, no, almost never. lol

Petra K. has "66" ufes at the start of 3rd, down 1-2. Looks like she'll top 80 by the end of such.....

In addition, she has dfed 16 times and the match is over 3 hours, down 2-4 in the 3rd on serve. This from a player that has just returned to the top-10 and on a winning streak.
