Personally, I think there's a lot of sizzle and very little steak, but he's charming and French and has a nice accent and that's all ESPN cares about.

Greek Yogurt was almost pushed to a 5th set today by Zdeněk Kolář of the Czech Republic, but he rallied from 6-2 down in the 4th set tie-break to win.

Ahem... that's "THE" Iga. The Iga will forgive your insolence only this once.
And yeah it's actually even more ridiculous when you take into account that it's not like the Iga plays a bunch of really quick points. There's a lot of rallying going on in her matches. Yet they never take long.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player so effortlessly create open court for routine putaway winners. It literally looks like she hacked tennis and is playing on toddler mode.

Nice work from Leylah as she races out to a 3-zip lead over Bencic.
Edit: 15 minutes later and it's 3-3

Bencic breaks and is serving for the opening set at 5-4. Leylah started very strong in those first three games and then the unforced errors started creeping into her game.
Edit: Leylah breaks back saving two set points and we're back level at 5-5

Shaky start to set 3 for Leylah. Bencic really imposing her will at the moment.
Edit: Leylah breaks to get back on serve in set 3.

Leylah breaks courtesy of a Bencic double fault and is serving at 4-3 in set 3.
Edit: Consolidates the break and is one game away.

Leylah unable to serve it out and we play on at 5-5 because of course last night wasn't bad enough.
Edit: And then Leylah breaks and has a second chance to serve out the match.
