It's amazing how players play for hours to get to the point they want to get to but then become too nervous to convert. Human psychology.

Not sure that's fair Girly, Baez hit a pretty good return on match point, it was just a little wide. At any rate, the Fraud survives. How anybody can cheer for that guy is inexplicable to me.

Bianca vs. Bencic is about to start.

Edit: Not sure who this announcer is, but he's pretty bad with his commentary.

Yes, but it was a poor service game after that at 5-5.

Charlitos is going to show the Flames how it's done when your back is to the wall.

Bencic is just bossing Bianca around the court at the moment. It's the best I've ever seen Belinda play.

Credit to Bianca for not throwing in the towel in set 2, she was down 5-1 and just won three straight games. Bencic serving for the match at 5-4

Edit: Too bad, if Bianca could have broken Bencic to get back at 5-5, I think Belinda would have crumbled.

Charlie scrambling like crazy and ARV misses the sitter volley and slams his Babolat into the dirt.

Edit: Comeback complete. ARV could not escape from Alcaraz.

I was trying to watch Felix's match from this morning, but had to turn it off, the commentator was driving me crazy. Not sure who he was, but he kept pronouncing the first part of Felix's last name as "OJ" Aliassime.

Still lots of tennis to be played so this might not happen, but Tsitsipas - Rune could be a heck of a quarter-final match.

The Polish bakery is cooking and delivering more bagels today.

Edit: Alison Riske just won a game which stopped a run of 16 straight games won (going back to her opening round match) for Iga.

It seems like a great accomplishment these days to get the 1 hour mark when taking on Iga. Alison Riske, hats off to you (1 hour and 1 minute),
