^Agreed. You have to just play solid and not take any big chances, let him unravel. Especially on your serve. Get the first serve in, don't need to do anything crazy here.

Troutman might be getting a new shirt!

That was very likely the least suspenseful, least dramatic, least memorable five set match I have ever watched.

Well, far from vintage Felix, but he dug deep and prevailed. It's a good sign that you can still win when you're far from your best.

5 sets of non competition.

First one guy dominating, then a switch flipped and the other guy dominating.

Seems crazy that they are playing full womens 2nd round matches before completing the interrupted men's 1st round matches. Especially at 5:30pm. They might play through the night.

After every Nadal loss, they always ask if he is going to retire and every time he comes back

I don’t want to speak too soon, but this match shouldn’t take long.

Did you see the match where she went up 4-2 and then lost 10 straight games?

No.

But there is a massive strength difference here.

It was 2 weeks ago. I never know what Bianca will do.

But yeah, it doesn't look like Bucsa has any answers here.

One-way traffic thus far, Bianca just overpowering her opponent.

All of a sudden, Bucsa decided to up the power ante.

That's poor from the umpire, the wind is howling and he gives Bianca a warning for the serve clock running out.
