I didn't see it because I can't find a tv channel or stream showing Bianca's match, but hearing she took a ugly fall and appeared to hurt her left wrist.

Leylah advances 7-6 6-3 over Bucsa. Roller coaster match from Leylah, at times very good and at other times pretty shaky, but the important thing is a win and getting it done in straight sets as she's also playing doubles with Gaby later today.

Rafa and Novak are on court and Djokovic is up an early break in the opening set.

She is down 1 set and tied at 4 in the 2nd.

Yeah, match has concluded now and Vekic takes it in straight sets 6-3 6-4

Rafa avoids the bagel in the opening set.

[dash_pinched]

Rafa is trying, but his body just won't copoperate. It also doesn't help that Novak is in the zone today.

[dash_pinched]

Well, it was 1-4 Djokovic in set 2 with Rafa serving, now it's 4-4 with Rafa serving in set 2.

Edit: Novak breaks and is serving for the match at 5-4 in set 2

[CedarMeter]

Crap.

Novak takes it 6-1 6-4. Rafa made it a little dicey in set 2, but Novak just too good as well as Rafa's body limiting his movement etc.

Leylah gets Kerber next as the German is playing her last tourney and wants it to last as long as possible. It won't be easy, but I think Leylah has a good chance of advancing.

In doubles, Felix and Milos lost a very close two set match to Fritz and Paul of the States. However, Leylah and Gaby won their doubles match in straight sets over Burel and Gracheva of France.

Kerber takes the opening set 6-4. She has just been really solid thus far today and Leylah missed a sitter into the net for a key break.

[dash_pinched]

Ugh, Kerber wins 6-4 6-3. The match was closer than the score indicates, Kerber just won the big points and that was the difference. She also broke Leylah 7 times in the match.

Felix attempting to level the score with Germany on the tennis court as he delivers a bagel to Marterer.

Edit: Felix must have thought Marterer was still hungry as he sent him a baguette in set 2. Allez Felix and onto the next round where he will likely face Clayvedev.

[Nadal Fan]

Is CBC not showing the Nadal and Alcaraz match

Felix and Gaby just won the opening set over Salisbury and Watson 7-5. Gaby delivering in the clutch and picking up Felix who was pretty shaky in that opening set.
