allowing coaching is basically online game Pay To Win model. the top players are going to have a giant team with premium analytics packages that they'll now be able to access during match play. unseeded players will have the equivalent of Gord the club coach for 4.0 weekenders, and he couldn't come to your match cause his kids had a soccer tourney that day.

The Shapo slide is now at six matches as he loses in straight sets 6-4 6-1 to Benjamin Bonzi in Mallorca. Hasn't won a match since beating Rafa in Rome.

Meanwhile in Mallorca, Kyrgios withdraws as he felt some pain in his abs earlier today. It goes back to what I said earlier, his conditioning isn't where it needs to be to make a deep run at Wimbledon.

6-2 6-1 for Novak. Yikes, but only an exhibition match.

At the risk of jinxing Bianca, she won the opening set 6-4 and is up 4-love in set 2.
Edit: Of course, she gets broken right after this post, I'll muzzle myself now lol

All right, Bianca through to the semi-finals with a 6-4 6-1 win over Daria Kasatkina.
Edit: The winner of the Halep - Anisimova match will take on Bianca in the semi-finals.

I'm glad Bianca is playing well but it's super weird how she's doing it. She's somehow lost the ability to hit a good drop shot, and is having much more trouble on her own serve than she is returning her opponent's. Third match in a row she's broken her opponent in their first service game and yet her own constantly seems to wind up at deuce. It's like she saw Leylah and went, "Oh. I guess that's Canadian Women's tennis style now. Well, I can do that" and just ran with it.

Chalk it up to an extreme lacking of consistent match time. Serving is all about muscle memory, repetition and confidence. It's really hard for a pro to have all of these boxes checked when they've hardly played consistently for the better part of the last two years.

Lukas Rosol has qualified for the Wimbledon main draw. Will he end up on the same side of the draw as Rafa?

A win gets her in the top 50 before Wimbledon... I'm still irritated by the lack of points at Wimbledon honestly. It would be insane if Bianca were to win that thing (yes I know longshot) and wind up ranked 56th in the world. Ordinarily that sort of result would get her into the top 10.
