Twice Bencic had 0-30. Then played stupid points.

That was embarrassingly bad for Bencic. I mean with Alcaraz's opponents you can say, look, the kid is on a heater, he was crushing the ball, what can you do, look at the other players he's beaten.

With this match, she didn't even put up a fight. It looked like a warm-up. Raducanu didn't even have to play any particularly good points - just a couple of good shots at timely moments and boom. Straight sets.

Gaby/Luisa are into a 3rd set - They won the first set 6-4, dropped the second set by the same 6-4 set score.

Well, you can make it three Canadians in the US Open semi-finals as Gaby/Luisa advance winning 6-4 4-6 6-1

Harris breaks and is serving for the opening set at 5-3

Edit: Then plays a terrible service game and is broken right back.

Pretty garbage move by Zverev delaying Harris' serve on set point complaining about the video screen, but why should we be surprised?

Zverev is a punk ass bitch, if I'm Lloyd Harris I'd be pissed right now.

I think he's more pissed about losing his mixed drink as he missed his bag and the contents spilled all over the court lol

That was pretty bad. Certainly had a chance to break there and just gave the game away.

I doubt Harris can pull off a Thiem, but the crowd wants more tennis...

The American duo of Caty McNally and Coco Gauff just upset the top seeded team of Hsieh and Mertens and will be the next opponents for Stefanowski (Stefani / Dabrowski)

I'm interested to see if Sakkari can back up her big win over Bianca tonight.

Poor start for Sakkari. Not getting the ball in the court consistently, as she was with Andreescu.

EDIT: And it's not going to be 3 hours. These two don't rally.
