Has battled back from down 4-1 to be up 6-5 in second set.
When Sabalenki is on she is unbelievable, but...

Sabalenka wins her 20th straight tiebreaker
Good showing by Mboko, but not ready for that just yet

Vikki is a rising star. Wasn’t she playing with a sore leg too?

53 minutes for Jovic to put away Putintseva. Pretty impressive for an 18 year old.

Jovic/Mboko had 4 match points to take down Mertens/Zheng it's unfortunate to say but the pressure got to Victoria in the big moments and they end up losing the match to the 4th seed in a 3rd set tie break
Still a very impressive showing. Jovic/Mboko are so new to doubles that they didn't know when to change over during the tie break
Both the teens are the brighest of upcoming stars on the WTA

Am I crazy or does he give off Novak vibes? Not the biggest guy nor the hardest hitter, yet he's just a tactician on court and really knows how to construct a point. I'm not saying he's going to start racking up the majors, but if you were to ask me who's going to be the guy to step up to challenge Sincaraz, he's top of my list.

Novak has never been reliant on pace, though he is the best ever at redirecting pace back, and has some natural leverage to rip it if he really needs to especially in later years.
Learner will probably never be able to hit through top 10 opponents, so his game will always be based on building rally pressure. I think the pure shot tolerance of young Novak is out of reach, but at the same age I see a bit more versatility and understanding of angles in his point construction. It’s why he won’t be as vulnerable as a lefty normally is vs the Zverev backhand.

7 of the top 8 mens seeds make the quarterfinals. Unfortunately the missing one is FAA, spot taken by Tien.
Great matchups
Tien vs Zverev
Alcaraz vs De Mineur
Shelton vs Sinner
Museti vs Alcarez
On the womens side 6 out of 8. So fans are in for a great 2nd week.

When Sabalenka is playing like this, she's unbeatable.

They might as well close the roof on Rod Laver Arena before the Zverev vs. Tien match starts, the wet bulb/heat index is reading 4.8.

Darn it, I wanted a 5th set in the Tien - Zverev match. Also, the wrong guy won.
