Not surprised. Tons of people are taking the day off today for a 4 day holiday weekend.

#ed_op#i#ed_cl#Not all doubles matches were well attended, specifically the Barthel and the Falconi matches had sparse crowds, including the current match featuring Gavrilova and Kasatkina, while the Schi/Osaka, Konjuh/Haddad Maia, and the Bouchard/Ostapenko matches had packed courts. Btw, members of the Class of '97 (Osaka, Konjuh and Ostapenko) all lost their respective dubs' matches today.#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Petra K. dismissed Caroline Garcia, 6-0 6-4. CG was bad in the lst set while eating a bagel, stepped it up much better in the 2nd, but didn't have enough to overcome Petra, losing an important service game at 3-all, then Petra finished in nice fashion with an Ace. Petra gets the winner of Ribby and Garbine next.&nbsp; #ed_op#/i#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Is this an illusion, but does Kvitova not watch the ball until she strikes it as we've been taught to do?

Somebody needs to focus on her tennis comeback and stop plotting a coup inside somebody else's pants.
