He needs to go full retro with the short tennis shorts, though. Like the following:

Isner in big trouble down two sets to love.

[Nadal Fan]

Lucas Poullie is a player who could come from the bottom half and make the finals he did Rafa here last year and is still young.

Big brother Zverev eliminates the top American tonight and can take down the second ranked American in his next match.

Sharapova unloads on Wozniaki when asked about the latter's comments on scheduling and preferential treatment: "With regards to scheduling, as you know, I don't make the schedule. I'm a pretty big competitor. If you put me in the parking lot of Queens in New York City, I'm happy to play there. That's not what matters to me. All that matters to me is, I'm in the fourth round. Yeah, I'm not sure where she is."

Ouch. That hurts as much as the Venus Williams serve to the ball boy's nuts yesterday.]

[Nadal Fan]

Theim looking good today same with Dogolpolov he is absolutely destroying Troicki today. If Nadal wins would be his next match up.

[Matty81]

Clearly ppl like sharapova but for me she has the opposite effect... I will change the channel. Even before she was outed as a doper the gd screaming.

My only real issue with Maria is the noise level, but it is amazingly awful. I also don't think she's particularly great (see: her play most of this tournament), but it just shows that in women's tennis mental strength goes a lot longer than being great. Lots of girls have more skill than Maria, only Serena is stronger mentally.

Zhang had a match point in the 2nd set on her serve 5-4, 40-30 against the #1 Pliskova and within 10 minutes lost the set 7-5.

After our interview 2day, @denis_shapo thanked & shook hands w/everyone on crew. As impressive as his game. #just18

[GirlySports]

Now Zhang is up 2-0 in the 3rd after 2 very long games. Let's see how this goes.

[Nadal Fan]

This Pliskova Zhang match is taking forever can someone act like they actually want to win?

[Nadal Fan]

It's hard to cheer against Theim just a great guy. I think he's got a shot to win if he plays this way . Future French Open champion book it.

I hope Aggie sends CoCo packing.

Yes, please!

Delpo is up a set and a break on Bautista Agut, which if it holds up, we'll be down to five of the top 20 remaining in the round of 16 (potentially four, as Goffin plays Monfils later).

Gabriela Dabrowski and partner Rohan Bopanna move on in mixed doubles with a tough first round win.
