if Leylah follows the typical high intensity sport curve, I expect that she's about 4-6 years away from the prime of her career.

Welp, Dimitrov really upped his level and rallied from 1-4 down to win over Alexis 6-4 7-5. Pretty good showing from the Canadian, he really needs to somehow get more pop on his serve though, ground strokes are fine, but he doesn't get many free points.

Shapo just lost to de Minaur in the second set tie-break, really tough luck as he was playing much better late in set 2 and into the tie-break when the rains came last night and play was suspended.

Well, NF will get to see Kyrgios vs. Medvedev as Nick just eliminated Baez.

Bianca breaks to start the match - Nice!

Edit: And we're back on serve.

Edit 2: WTA match - No holds of serve after three games.

Bianca needs to keep up the aggression as Kasatkina can run all day long.

Bianca wins the first set, but looks dead on her feet - Stomach ailment maybe?

Bianca breaks to win the match 7-6 6-4 and quite the frosty handshake at the net.

So they decided to make this part of the day matches on Centre Court so instead of this or Alcaraz I get F.A.A and Tsitsipas ####ty deal. All I can say is Thursday better be good

Well, that's a shame, but Felix and Greek Yogurt is still pretty good.

I'm excited to see Felix in his home province will be a great atmosphere, just totally expected Medvedev and Kyrgios to also be on.

Any insight into why frosty?
Andreescu is now 3-0 against Kasatkina, but the first two were a while ago

I don't think Kasatkina was too pleased about that extended break Bianca took between sets one and two. Kerber did Bianca no favors calling her a drama queen back in 2019 and unfortunately that label has stuck with her. WTA can bring in similar rules to ATP if they think players are taking advantage of MTOs and extended breaks.
