This may result in matches being moved from one court to another. DENISE PARNELL - REFEREE

by ashkor87 Potential upsets today ,(well, every match, actually!)
krejcikova (55%), Shapo (60%), Bencic (60%), Muchova (75%), Samsonova (55%)
Zheng is also at risk, maybe 40%
Why is Sinner, top seed and whatnot, not on centre court,?!

by ashkor87 Pegula looks a bit shaky, slow of foot, serve not effective...

With the Zverev-Rinderknech match carrying over from yesterday there is less time for two full men's matches on Centre Court today, plus they had two men's matches on Centre Court yesterday.

by Suliso So much for Pegula being a contender (never believed it)...

Suliso wrote: ↑Tue Jul 01, 2025 11:16 am So much for Pegula being a contender (never believed it)...

yes, I am shocked.. clearly the prelim tournaments mean nothing - last year, she won a few rounds after Berln.. here, she was pretty much MIA

by Suliso I didn't suspect R1 either, only didn't believe in SF+...

by ponchi101 But that was the general feeling for her. She would do "well", not well enough for a #3 seed.
Still, 1R is a shock. She should have done better

by ashkor87 Meanwhile, as I expected, Muchova is on her way out..just doesn't have enough matches under her belt to beat a very good player like Xinyu Wang

by ponchi101 Musetti's lovely game did not translate well to grass. Out to Bashilashvili. This tournament is becoming nuts.

Too many injuries, too frequently. And you just can't get match tough on the practice court.
Indeed, not ready.

by Suliso Zheng about to lose as well. So many top 10 players didn't survive R1...

by ponchi101 And you can see there is no pattern. Pegula played the week before. OUT. Zheng did not play. OUT. Alcaraz played one warm up: Tough 1R match. SInner did not. Easy match.
The surface is too crazy.

I agree with you, but you also were the same person who insisted she had zero chance to beat Swiatek at the US Open and were adamant about it.

by ponchi101 The more time passes, the more it seems that Eala's defeat of Swiatek at Miami was more telling of Iga's tennis than Eala's potential.
She played a good 1st set today, but the 2nd and 3rd were a display of meek tennis. Her serve, especially, is very vulnerable.
Let's see if when she returns to hard courts she will start getting better.

by jazzyg In an age-old story, a woman getting to the final the week before a slam did not pay off.

Pegula suffered an ugly loss. Joint suffered a lopsided loss. Eala faded down the stretch. Swiatek, who has the easiest matchup of the four, just survived a close first set against the younger Kudermetova.

by ponchi101 But the story has a bit of a twist, this time.
In the past, the players winning the week before a slam did not fare well at said slam because they were, usually, lower ranked players. This time, two of the players are top players, solidly in the top 10.
Eala and Joint are old story, reddux. Pegula/Swiatek are a bit of a new spin.

by ashkor87 It really is a curse to do too well the week or two before a major..

by ptmcmahon Yeah usually it's more non contenders, so not really too much of a surprise when they lose. But Swiatek/Pegula definitely don't fit the usual narrative.

by ponchi101 All 1H BH that have played so far, in the ATP top 50, have lost.
Musetti, Shapovalov, Perricard and Tsitsipas. Only Dimitrov, yet to play, has not lost.

by ponchi101 Add Bublik to the "Did well the week before" losers' list.

but first round?

ouch.

Madison Keys at the AO this year is the outlier, we've returned to the norm here.

by FredX Swiatek seems to be playing just fine. Getting pushed for one set that you eventually win isn't indicative of anything.

by Owendonovan Fritz through. Perricard would blow himself away if he could serve to himself.

by mick1303 Halle curse makes a comeback ((

by Suliso And another one bites the dust...

by texasniteowl So to sum up so far...Zverev out; Pegula out; Musetti out; Zheng out. I think we would agree that Zheng is not a shock given her poor grass history and opponent, Siniakova. The other 3...I would argue are definitely first round surprises. There losses wouldn't necessarily be 3rd or 4th round surprises...but first round?

by jazzyg Musetti is injured and did not play since Roland Garros until today, so I'm pretty sure his loss can be explained by that factor. He is just not match tough. Last year he entered with the confidence of having done very well in the lead-ups.

by texasniteowl That's true. I did forget about the leg injury from Roland Garros.

by Suliso On the other hand Bencic had no serious issues with Parks.

by Owendonovan Both #3 seeds bounced in the first round. Who’d have thought?

by ponchi101 And Gauff drops the first set to Yastremska, who does not compete badly when she is in a big stage.

by Suliso Gauff has reached 4R+ for seven straight Slams, but now in great danger of R1 exit. Doesn't happen very often with reigning GS champions.

by ponchi101 Coco out.
What a weird day

Suliso wrote: ↑Tue Jul 01, 2025 7:57 pm Gauff has reached 4R+ for seven straight Slams, but now in great danger of R1 exit. Doesn't happen very often with reigning GS champions.

Historically it happened with this specific pair of slams more often than with the others. Or so it seems

by jazzyg Seeing as how Gauff did not really play well at Roland Garros besides competing incredibly hard, her disintegration on a surface that exposes her two glaring weaknesses was predictable against a streaky power player who can get really hot.

Gauff will be fine because she has a fantastic head on her shoulders and a great support group, but she still has a lot of work to do on her game. The American media idea that she had arrived after beating Sabalenka again was off base.

by skatingfan Some of Gauff's double faults were really ugly - her upper, and lower body were just going in different directions at the same time.

by ti-amie Gauff, Pegula, Qinwen out.

Zverev out.

I said that they did Eala dirty by putting her against Krejcikova first round. She's a year or two away from being ready for prime time.

For me Shelton in straight sets is surprising.

I'm not surprised about Joint. Eala lost that match more than Joint won it.

Mboko who got into the MD as a LL won in straights.

Glad to see Gaël get through. I always felt that if he had taken his career a bit more seriously early on he could've maybe won a Slam.

I wasn't able to watch any matches today. I'll explain why in Random, random.

A player that age 21 already has 2 slams and multiple Slam qf's has not arrived?
That is a bit tough. She is ranked #2, has the above trophies and for sure will add a few more. But it seems to me that we are still under the spell that anybody that does not produce Serena/Steffi/Martina/Chris numbers has yet to achieve much.
C'mon, she has arrived. Is she invincible? Nah, precisely for the reasons you mention (she does have weaknesses).

The man has been a serious enjoyment and an asset for tennis for almost two decades.
But yes, he has underachieved. That he has never even reached a slam final is amazing to me, seeing what an incredible athlete he is (tennis and otherwise).

by jazzyg When I said arrived, I meant Gauff as a top contender to win every slam on the same footing as Sabalenka, which they repeated ad nauseum. There were people picking her to win Wimbledon, which is ludicrous. She went in as the underdog to Yastremska in my book. She's just not very good on grass, which has been proven year after year after year.

by ashkor87 Very impressed with Rybakina for staying calm amid all this devastation...impressive wins by Anisimova and Lamens...Anisimova has done well here in the past .beat Coco a few years back..i can't think of her as being good on grass because she is too slow on her feet but she does have tg hard, flat shots -offense is great, defense is not..

“A bit tough” is a bit soft of an assessment. “Utter nonsense” is more like it. Gauff is a Hall of Famer at 21 with 2 majors and a tour final championship, a fixture in the Top 5, and the world’s highest-earning female athlete.

by ashkor87 But I am still surprised and disappointed Gauff has not been able to fix her forehand problems.. everyone has a different diagosis, to be sure, but I dont see her trying anything, other than looping it more to try to get more depth somehow...

by jazzyg Gauff has a losing career record against top 100 players at Wimbledon.

That is not utter nonsense. It is fact.

I've build a query to check the performance of each Slam winner in the next slam. So far it is not complete in a sense that it ignores if player was missing the next slam and ignores if he won it, looking only at losses. And out of those losses it looks only at R128. So it also ignores all old Australian Opens with 64 players draws (later I may rectify this). But the results is that on WTA side first round losses are distributed almost evenly AO - 2, FO - 3, W - 2, USO - 2. However on ATP side I was correct: AO - 1, FO - 4, USO - 4, W - 7

by ashkor87 Polina doesn't look much like Veronika does she? Her game is quite different too...
Looks more like Potapova if anything

That is not utter nonsense. It is fact.

But we were not talking about that. We were talking about whether she had arrived or not.
Is her record at Wimbledon a factual thing that shows she is not that good there? As you say, that is numerically verifiable.
Has a player with two slams by the age of 22 not arrived? Well, that is reason I said "tough crowd". Those are very good credentials.

by jazzyg That was my mistake. I was typing on my phone and what I should have written was ARRIVED AS ONE OF THE FAVORITES TO WIN EVERY SLAM SHE PLAYED. I was reacting to the number of ESPN people who picked her to win Wimbledon, which I consider absurd beyond belief with the serving yips she has in addition to the problematic forehand.

I apologize for causing the kerfuffle, although if there's anyone out there who does not think she still has to make a lot of improvements to become a consistent contender away from Roland Garros, we're watching a different player. I also mentioned in my post she would be fine because of her good head and the people around her. People acted like I was savaging her. Strange. I mean, Megan's on here touting her hall of fame credentials as if that's been called into question. Of course she's a hall of famer. No sane person would think otherwise.

by ti-amie It used to be rare for anyone to win the Roland Garros/Wimbledon tournaments back to back. Gauff is following that tradition I think. I'm not a statistics person and I'm only looking at the WTA.

by ponchi101 Winning both tournaments back to back was reserved for the great ones. That is factual and tautological.
The "problem" is that she won RG and went out in 1R at W. But I am sure that, if in March, you had told Coco "you will win RG and lose in 1R at W", she would have taken that deal. She has still collected another slam and will have one slam for the year. That is a successful year, for anyone.

Oh no doubt.

And she's still young at what, 22 when careers now extend well into a player's 30's?

by ashkor87 Coco will win majors because she is a great athlete and a great fighter.. but if she wants to be GOAT (she has said she does) she needs to fix that forehand and serve.. I am not quite sure what the problem is with the serve (just mental?) but I have heard some of you say her impact point is too low, with the ball on the way down.. if that is so, it should be easy to fix..But I remember Connors had a similar problem, I thought he used to connect with the ball too late in his swing, after the peak momentum point.. never fixed it but did fine without, anyway.

by Suliso She's not going to GOAT or anything close to it. Serena like talent she does not have.
