In the end I'd call that match oddly compelling. Maria was playing every rally to try and end in 5 shots or fewer, and Mona couldn't do anything from the ground and was really only in it because Maria was making a comical amount of errors. But Maria can definitely win this thing if she can clean up the errors, very easy draw to the semis for her.

I like that word: compelling.

So, how do you solve a problem like Maria? She's coming in off a doping ban. I don't know how to feel about her. I can't see myself openly cheering for her and yet, I'm curious to see how this all plays out.

And then he shows you why he's 190 or so in the world. Too bad, had he won the set they might have gone till 3am EST or later. Instead this will probably be over in an hour.

Well. Hope King can keep this up and hopefully Zverev won't find his top gear.

Zverev doesn't even have to find his top gear. King won't be getting over the DF for the rest of the match.

There's King's fastest serve so far, 118MPH. He hit one that registered 124MPH earlier but was out.

If the unthinkable happens, I think this will be the 2nd qualifier to advance to round 2 today as Mikhail Kukushkin beat David Ferrer earlier.

It's closing time but Darian King should be very, very, very proud of this effort he's given.

Kerber down a set. Women's tennis is such a mess. Anyone can win.

Women's tennis is such a mess that there's really no good reason not to consider Maria one of the favorites to win this whole thing. Would be fascinating to see the reaction if she did.

If this rain delay lasts much longer it will probably be entering the category of match cancellations for the day. Any hearing anything on the ETA?

The last announcement was 1:30 p.m. MT but that was listed as the earliest.

Rafa might still win this match, but the book is out on how to beat him off clay. He might win another non-French slam, but I'd be surprised.

I can't watch the match just listening to it now but from what I hear Rafa is not playing well at all. He better pull this off! I know lately he hasn't been good off clay but he came close to winning in Australia this year but lost to Fed in 5 so there is always a chance especially given all the injuries.
