Maybe Jack will blink serving for the match and maybe Felix can find some quality ervice returns. Last chance coming up shortly.

41-17 in unforced errors is the story of tonight

At least with straight sets I'm not going to be here until 3 in the morning

I should probably stop watching the Canadians. Every part of each match I've watched they been gettin thumped by their opponent.

It's been a long time since I've seen Bianca sans kin tape.

Fantastic break just now and serving for the opening set at 5-2

Edit: Consolidates and takes the opening set 6-2. Bianca is playing well and Haddad Maia looks shaky.

Bianca is super confident and finally appears to be healthy which is amazing to see. Would not surprise me if she made the final 4 in the least the way she looks so far.

Side note, has anyone been to any grandslams? I went to the US Open in 2011 for 4th round / QF match ups. It was an amazing experience!

Big hold right there by Bianca as Haddad Maia is playing much better here in set 2.

Bianca looking sharp.


I'm still shook that Sakkari is out. I was expecting big things from her.

I don't think I've ever seen tennis in person in any form competition or just people playing for fun.

Another escape for Bianca from 15-40 down to hold serve.

Edit: Followed by a great return game to break Haddad Maia. Nice.

Wow, what a great win for Bianca!! 6-2 6-4

I think that's the best match she has played in 2022.

I didn’t watch the whole thing but Andreescu’s ground strokes were impressive and reminiscent of 2019. That serve is a concern though.

The Draper train keeps picking up steam. I don't think this is a bad loss for Felix, Draper has been playing some great tennis lately and I can see him making the top 10 next year. I do think Felix needs a new coach, maybe give Agassi a call.
