Kinda been switching between different matches atm.... lesser Pliskova is imploding atm (threw away a 4-1 lead in the second - seems to crumble under the heat), and Vensnina has hip-issues vs Azarenka...

My highlight of the day will be Janowicz vs Pouille (for obvious reasons).

Gonna move over to Konta vs Vekic for now

Vekic.... my god, some women can't dea lwith pressure.... the fear of losing takes over from the will to win....#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Donna 5-3 up... serving for the set... 40-15 up....#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#To cut a long story short: Konta wins the Tie-break.... pathetic, Donna!#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#An outcome like this makes it easier to move over to the Kachanov-match ; Konta will win Set 2 while cruising on automatic pilot. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Lol, yes I was wrong on this one...

Does not change the fact that this match should have been over by now.

Now they can play a third set in the heat.

TB in the first set between Jerzy and Pouille....

Two great servers, but two really good grass players too.

Jerzy did slip in the last game when lobbed by Pouille... his ankle seems to bother him a bit.
I hope it will not affect the match...

And Jerzy wins the first set 7-6 (7-4)!#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#It is easy to see why a) Pouille will be a force in the next year, and b) that it was NOT a fluke that Jerzy played the SF here in 2013.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Jerzy had so many injury-issues in the last years (foot, knee,...) - he needs this win more. And he is almost 27. Time to get back to ranking #14 (where he once was)....#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Jerzy pulled out that first set. I hope he's not injured again, cause he gets injured a lot. Pouille will have him out there all damn day, LOL!!
