It is quite the accomplishment especially in the world's largest tennis stadium.

Really a shame that Holger is battling cramps which has taken the sting out of this match.

Well, that was a loose service game from Bianca and she's down a break.

Oh no, Bianca appears to be injured.
Edit: Well, she is going to continue, it might just be nausea.

Bianca broken late in set 2 and then Golubic holds to force a third set.

I'm getting dizzy trying to follow which match is on which channel.
There has got to be a better way.

It’s the Bianca way. She can’t win in 2 sets. Always gotta go the distance.
Meanwhile every other female seed won their match today in straight sets.

Well, that was a big hold there by Bianca, but as Kidder points out above, Bianca needs to put away these opponents in straight sets and conserve energy/eliminate the wear and tear during this 2 week tourney.

Bianca’s not fit for this. Will she be cursed by injuries like Milos?

I think it's probably time to accept that Bianca was a one hit wonder and needs to basically rebuild / start from scratch rather than continuously trying to come back and getting hurt immediately again. And maybe she never makes it back. But this is pointless.
There is another... her name is Leylah. Give it a couple years.
Also, no one mentioned Djokovic intentionally losing a game just so his opponent didn't have to suffer the indignity of getting bageled? What a mensch.

If she’s not 100%, she always has heart.

Yeah, and it might be enough to get her through this match. But in terms of consistent success, it's not there. The shotmaking? Sure, she has that. But watch her movement out there. It's the first round and she looks... the only word for it is sluggish.
