My body clock still thinks it's the Asian swing. Bit annoying...

Fair play to Sveta, the burden was all on her and she delivered. Konta could still get a match as alternate, but this might work to her advantage since Zhuhai is a much quicker court than the Singapore treacle.”
Yeah, Zhuhai will be a better fit for our Jo. She would've gotten very hot and bothered facing Aga in Singapore.

Best news of the week for me. Delpo's FB is always worth a read because of the insta-translations from Spanish to English. The guy has such a deep connection with his fans

Goran's fallen on hard times.

Evo is prob miffed that Willis got a lot more media attention around Wimby.

What if it isn't a mic?

Same. Andy only cut a few strays off though.

It's frustrating because she has all the weapons and she is not afraid of the net like many other big hitters. This match proves to me that it is all mental.
She needs to have a word with Sumyk, his advice is legit terrible. 'You've got to see the ball and hit the ball' WTF? She shouldn't be having her coach on this often anyway, that alone shows her nerves.
I will enjoy watching Aga/Pliskova immensely”
Tbh I cringe whenever I see Garbi at the net. Rarely positions herself well up there, and two handed stop volleys are the naffest thing in the universe.
It would be nice to have more women with proper volleying technique and not terrified of hitting a smash.

Realistically, that is probably the end of his season.”
Hmm, Kyle should've withdrawn as soon as he saw Ferrer in his draw again.
Shame if he misses Paris, as he could do a lot of damage there.

Awesome for Jamie. Andy's knighthood is in the post though...
Berankis is underranked for me. He has a triffic BH.
Milos could be a walking bye at the WTF. We shall see...
Btw, for those who don't know, Gael will be at the WTF (injury permitting). Some compensation for Fed and Rafa missing out.
