Powerplay Quarterback
|
Dimitrov gave Novak some trouble but still straight sets. Very much his tournament to lose.

Yeah, I watched some highlights of the Dimitrov - Djokovic match and Novak is still moving very well despite the bad hamstring. Interesting crowd dynamic in his next match versus the Aussie De Minaur.

Kind of weird that this will be Djokovic and ADM's first match against each other.

The only downer of the upcoming Swiatek vs. Rybakina match is that it's only the 4th round. I think Rybakina has a real chance to pull off the win today as the combination of fast conditions and low bouncing tennis balls are similar to Wimbledon.

It's Iga time!
Edit: Broken from 40-love in the opening game (Rybakina won five straight points).

Iga broke back to get back on serve, but Rybakina just broke again and is serving at 4-3 in the opening set.

Rybakina takes the opening set 6-4
Edit: Iga zips out to a 3-love lead in set 2
Edit 2: That 3-zip lead has been erased and Rybakina is serving for the match at 5-4 in set 2

Rybakina closes it out to love winning 6-4 6-4. Very impressive performance but I will add that Iga was certainly not at her best today.

Did it look to anyone else that Switek just intentionally let up on that match point?
Maybe she was guessing the other way, but it ended up looking like she just stopped going for a ball that it looked like she easily could have gotten to.

It did to me a little, it looked like she was expecting Rybakina to go cross-court and with the score 40-love, she looked a little resigned to the fact that she was going to lose.

I'm not watching this match, but Silent K has won 10 games, Yoshi Nishioka has yet to get on the board.

KK is crushing Nishioka 60 30
They said that KK would become 50th player ever to make the QF of all 4 grand slams. That seems really low.

I think if youre down 60 60, you should be allowed to smash a racket without warning.

If you win only 2 points in an entire set, you should be allowed a racquet smash without warning.
