Obviously, the match of the day is Rafa v Nick....

Would love to see Petra K v Kristina, but that's a 6 a.m. match here in the States. Yet, if I'm awake......

Another match of interest for me is Sloane v Yafan Wang. However, this is a 4 a.m. start. Replay on ESPN+ is the option....

[Ace2Ace]

K. Mladenovic (FRA) v P. Kvitova (CZE) 6
S. Williams (USA) 11 v K. Juvan (SLO)
L. Siegemund (GER) v B. Strycova (CZE)

No much going on on the ladies side.
I just have questions:
Is Petra healed.
Which Serena gonna show up?
Siegmund, can she finally get back to her level before that ugly injury?

Taylor wins the lst set from Kiki and starts off the 2nd with a break. Upset here? Playing nicely thus far, serving and volleying, constructing points and finishing at the net.

[Graveller]

Davis-Kerber.. Lauren making the winners and UE's in the first set, *2-3, but then a nasty fall from Davis and clearly in pain (think that it is her heavyly taped knee/leg that is the problem), and Kerber takes advantage by breaking.... in the blink of an eye from 2-3 to 2-5... Kerber looks on track for an easy win

[Graveller]

Kerber breaks on love and wins the first set 6-2... that was a ugly ending...

MTO for Lauren: her ankle getting taped. Virtually nothing on her left leg remains visible.

[rex]

Kiki recovering nicely, was up 5-3 on serve, but Taylor breaks. Can she tie? Nice match, very competitive...

[rex]

Yes, she can. Recovering down 0-30, going to deuce and winning the last 2 points.

[rex]

Taylor breaks!! On serve to finish.....

[rex]

Breaker. Taylor blew the heck out of match point. Nailed and out-wide serve, taking Kiki massively off the court. All she had to do was hit a simple volley to her left "inside the service line" for match point, but "elected" to hit a drop shot which went into the net. Unbelievable nonsense....

[rex]

3rd set. Taylor should be taken to the woodshed for messing up match point. No excuse for the miscue, for Kiki was completely out of the play....
