Naomi with a chance to break, blew such at 30-40 with a backhand volley missed wide and badly at the net. Game point won by Yulia on another backhand error into the net....

Naomi broken again on another backhand hit wide to the right of the court. Down 2-5 and soon catching that plane to wherever.....

As reported, Naomi dumped Sascha because she wasn't happy with him. Killing her own momentum, she hasn't done a thing since. So, according to her at least being happy is the saving grace.

Re PGames and fmKO, thanks.... I've scored twice at this event, for Alex Z. lost, as well.....

lst time seeing Cori Gauff. Nice game....... lst serve does a lot of damage, covers the court well and her ground game is not sloppy with careless errors like you see with Ostapenko, Sabalenka and some others. Plays like Venus with the way she comes forward and presses the matter, finishing with volleys for points. Knows how to construct points and redirects, nicely. Takes the lst set from Venus, 6-4, who loses the set, as usual, by hitting the ball into the net.

Venus gets broken, down 2-3 in the 2nd. 3 balls into the net, the last a DF. Cori the more poised in the match.

Nice moment for the 15 year old. Disappointing from Venus. But at age 39, not expecting much at this point.

Cori gets Ribby next, a winnable match.... Will be watching no matter the time. Nice talent....
