So, a not so great sign is that Sloane is rehabbing her knee as well. She had a bad slip during her 2nd round match that made many of us watching wonder if she'd be able to continue. She was able to keep playing, but in her 3rd round match her knee was heavily taped.

She's now doing rehab on her knee, doesn't look like it'll be good to go in just a week's time. She's wearing a brace, not a sleeve, so it must need more support. Since she's one who could play on in her match, not exactly the best sign. We saw a lot of slips and falls, but I'm sure we missed quite a few as well, so it makes me wonder how many are dealing with small issues from them.

On the other hand, I'm truly not sure what "injury" Ostapenko was claiming to have when she suddenly sat down with an injury so severe against Ajla that she couldn't play another point until the trainer came out. But she's had a miraculous recovery from whatever it was, practicing without obvious signs of injury and no tapings or strappings of any kind. Also enjoying jet skiing in her time off.

Coco Gauff is back in action at an exo this week. She said she was mostly asymptomatic apart from a loss of smell, and that she had been scheduled to get her covid vax later that same week before heading to Tokyo.

What's the tl;dr on Raducanu's injury?

Jet skiing with an injury brought on by playing tennis? Okay.

I watched a set and a quarter of Sloane's match last night and she was moving fine. When was she injured?

It will be sad if both of them haver to retire due to injuries or physical conditions. But it looks like a possibility. :(

I'm reconciled to the fact that Rafa will need surgery to reconstruct his foot and that he may not return. It looks like an era is winding down slowly.

So the USO had a poster with all the former champions that were going to play, and in which they forgot Cilic. They are down to: Novak, Murray and Cilic.

Rafael Nadal out for the reminder of 2021 season. Does he manage to hold on top 10 ranking anyway? Probably only because of the covid ranking system (#7 in the race).

His statement is rather upbeat, which is good. Let's see how his rehab goes, although I thought he was bound for surgery. He says he feels like he has two good years of tennis left in him.
