Pops looking real good. Took the 1st set 7-5 over the Milkman and now just broke him for a 2-1 lead in set 2.

Norrie forces a 3rd and deciding set. Rafa won the opening set 6-3, Norrie takes set 2 6-3

Edit: Norrie with the biggest win of his career as he defeats Rafa 3-6 6-3 6-4

Bianca takes to the court in Adelaide in about 90 minutes against Garbine Muguruza. Muguruza did not have a good 2022, but is always a dangerous opponent.

Vasek is also in action in Adelaide taking on Roman Safiullin in his final qualifying match in about 2 hours from now.

Bianca got bageled by Muguruza in the opening set, but just broke to get back on serve when Garbine was serving for the match in set 2 at 5-3

Edit: Bianca takes set 2 in a tie-break (7-3 was the tie-breaker score).

Darn it, Genie must have picked up some kind of injury and her opponent gets a walkover into the main draw in Auckland.

Vasek ran into a very good Roman Safiullin tonight and lost in three sets. Pops took the opening set in a tie-break, but then lost the next two sets by scores of 6-2 and 6-3

TSN has a live stream of Zverev vs. Fritz in United Cup action if interested.

Edit: Fritz is taking Zverev to the woodshed thus far. Won the opening set 6-1 and is up a break in set 2. Zverev doesn't look well physically or mentally.

Edit 2: Fritz wins 6-1 6-4 in a hour and 4 minutes.
