I missed that Sebastian Grosjean was in Cornet's camp these days. Good to see him.

[ashkor87]

Cornet struggling with the heat, as expected...these poor Europeans..!

[JazzNU]

This could've been interesting if the heat wasn't affecting Alize so much. Danielle looks like it's just another day with regards to the weather. It could possibly affect her if this went long, but we're nowhere near seeming like it will.

I know that Collins rubs a lot of people the wrong way because of her intensity and in your facedness, but I actually find her very endearing. I've heard two post match interviews in which she has gone way out of her way to thank people like facility people and the on site doctors and other people who take care of the athletes but who are very rarely recognized. I know that she grew up playing in public parks, and her complete lack of entitlement is very very refreshing.


OK, on to more matches.

Outside of the one incident, I don't think most have an issue with her off the court. She's not as good of friends with the other players from what I've seen, but that's seems to be about taking a different path to the pros and not knowing them as well, but when she's with them like when she's playing Fed Cup, she seems to get along with everyone fine. I don't think she's actually an unlikable person, just not the easiest player to like.

And I don't think the problem with her on-court is just about her intensity, there's been quite a high level of poor sportsmanship on more than several occasions.

But you said it. It is while she is on court that she is annoying. Outside, she has always been very nice, as you say.
But I find it hard to separate the personas.

I’ve changed my tune on Collins. Used to hate her obnoxiousness, but I haven’t seen much of it lately, and she is endearing off the court. Her health struggles mellowed my impression of her. I liked her NCAA pedigree. I like a gritty fighter, so as long as she keeps the obnoxiousness to a low level, I kinda like Collins, too. Not embarrassed to say it.

Have Collins and CoCo Vandeweghe ever played doubles together?
I gather that they'd either get along like best friends, or they'd kill each other long before the match was over.

To say that Kanepi is not very good with match points and set points would be an understatement...

[ashkor87]

Kanepi showing the value of power on a slowish court! Swiatek's spins just sit up and beg to be hit..

[ashkor87]

Swiatek is a slow starter, though, she could still turn it around..she is the better player after all...

[Deuce]

The 'match predictor' that the broadcast I'm often stuck with shows is useless.
At the beginning of the match and the beginning of every set, they put up the 'chance of winning' percentage - they overlay it over the court surface. And every time, whoever wins the first set is predicted to be the winner - by a large percentage.
Tonight, they had Swiatek as the large favourite as the match began - 72% chance of winning the match. After the first set, they had Kanepi with an 85% chance of winning the match. After needing 9 set points to win the set.

Where do they come up with this stuff?
And, more importantly - why?
