Kvitova is a set and a break down (to a qualifier!)... that's Bouchard's quarter!

Yeah, that's the message I was taking from their commentary as well. He really put up quite a fight in that first set but hasn't even taken a point in the second at 2-0.

Another bonus of having five TSNs: doubles gets some tv love. Pospisil/Sock at 4pm.

Krunic looks great even if Kvitova is choking a bit. Serves for the match.

Done. Kvitova's out. This kid runs everything down, has beaten Keys and Kvitova now.

Well for yet another grand slam the draw opens wide up for Genie to get to the semi's. Only Azarenka should truly pose a threat, if Genie is on her game.

Milos needs to stay away from the net.

Nah, he just needs to make some volleys. He's putting pressure on his opponent and moving quite well, just not finishing the deal at the net.

Also, those ball boys are tough, one of them took a 143 MPH heater from Milos right in the gut.

Well, that was a very stressful straight setter. Good to see Raonic's volleying improve at the end.

I don't think a year ago Milos breaks at 4-5 in the 3rd set to force a tie-breaker. Even though he wasn't at his best today, he still took care of business when it mattered most.

Genie's looking good. Wins the 1st set 6-2. Wind really seems to be trouble.

Made it to Milo's match today. That Dominican played outstanding. Gave us all a scare for sure. I was waving my Canadian flag and was told to put it away, and if I waved it again I would be escorted from the premises and would have my tickets revoked. There was a lot of Dominicans at the match today and boy were they loud. Very gracious In defeat though they were a lot of fun. Then went to Ashe and watched Williams play. Good match but she was never in danger of losing. Then went to court 17 and watched Popsocks play. Probably the best match I saw all day. The crowd was rocking and having a great time. They ended up winning, it was a great time. Back tomorrow to watch Fed and Sharapova play. should be another great day.
