I only saw the end of the first set and the beginning of the second -
was it a tb in the 3rd

we keep hoping V will win something soon
I saw the first and some of the 3rd set and Venus played some really good tennis!
Her serve, the body serve was rocking in the 1st. Also, her variety was throwing
off Belinda not giving her rhythm. She also surprised me with some great defense
throughout the match! I wish she could have taken one of those MP's but Belinda
was hitting winners when she needed them down those MP's.

I'm really liking Venus' new coach. When he came down for some on court coaching
I like that besides the technical(move her feet and fight for every point), he reminded
Venus that she is a champion and had more heart than Belinda. I like that because given
her battles with her illness, injury, and erratic form, it's not hard to see how her confidence
especially in high pressure moments has taken a hit. All in all, for me this was a bitter but
promising loss because of how she played and again was in a position to win. If she can stay
healthy I'm hoping this partnership can bare some fruit in 2020.

As this draw unfold I'm looking forward to a possible Keys match-up with Andreescu, then either with Osaka in the next round. If it happens, am considering getting up in the wee hours to watch such, tho' I can always catch same on replay on TC+. Tonight or this morning Andreescu faces Mertens and Madison faces Brady. Andreescu should handle Mertens and Madison should dismiss Jennifer for then the aforementioned encounter should ensue. Naomi, tho', faces Alison Riske and that is no easy dismissal for Alison has some dismissals this year of higher ranked players and has matured nicely approaching her 30's (she's 29). In addition, Alison dismissed Naomi in Madrid, but that was due to Naomi retiring with an injury, tho' Alison won the lst set 7-5 and led 3-2 in the 2nd when Naomi retired. Hope it happens....

Off topic:

Carlos Rodriguez, Justine's former coach, is now coaching Anisimova.

I love the news about Anisimova’s new coach. Carlos Rodriguez did an amazing job with Justine. Amanda needs someone who can help get her to the next level on court. I hope it works out for her. Losing her Dad and coach has to be tough.

Rex, why do you have a sad face about Anisimova’s new coach? Not a good thing for her?

Only 2 of the top-8 seeds didn't make it.
Only 1 unseeded player came this far.
5 of the 7 seeds have won a slam.
That's pretty good!!

Barty obviously trying to use her sh***y 2 handed backhand more instead of her beautiful slice. WHY? she keeps getting owned or making an error.
