Mertens is messy atm... served for the match, 40-0 up, and then... bye bye first serve (bye bye second serve too)

Nara now 4-2 up in the TB....

I see my second Skan-team member moving towards the exit...

Well, she withdrew from Conn due to an Achilles tendon soreness.

We're not inside her head. We can only glean clues from what's said.

In any event, if Sloanie wins today, I'll be in utter shock.

Halep is right when she said in Cincy that WTA doesn't respect her. She was complaining about her match schedule.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#And now I see it. #ed_op#br#ed_cl#Why is the #1 playing first today? Has a #1 been ever scheduled to play at 10 AM (first match of the day in the stadium) at a slam in R1?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Shouldn't they start with matches like Muchova vs Yastermka, Giorgi vs Osuigwe, Deichman vs Kalinina, Sakkari vs Muhamed, Kumkhum vs Kenin, etc.. ???#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Halep was probably annoyed with this scheduling. As #1, she is treated like a #99.
