Kasatkina is clearly still thinking about Dimitrov's abs.

I think that W win and her Aussie final will be the highlights of her career. You are right, it is a spiral.

A rare good win for Raducanu.

Fixed that for you!

Uhm. Love Emma N, but any win against her is not a measure of any success. She had her great run last year at the USO but she is seriously under-powered.

This was obvious today. She also panicked in the third set and Raducanu, who can't be said to be offensive minded, pounced, waiting for the errors to come. It was an important win for Raducanu. IMG has invested heavily in her and if she crashed out in the first or second set as she usually does here I'm sure more endorsements would be in jeopardy.

Alexandra Eala finally breaking through a little after being highly touted for so long, I can't believe that she is only 19. Her win over Ostapenko was the first time she has won two matches in a row on the main tour.

Kessler's win over Noskova was a bit of a surprise.

Goffin beat Alcaraz.

With "Cheater?" (Allegedly) Sinner out, there are no longer upsets. Welcome to the Non Fed Rafa Novax Serena Era, where, hey, ANYONE!!!! could win any given match. Until Sinner makes it back. These players are surely not the stuff of Sinner's nightmares. Otherwise, among the rest, anyone can beat anyone....obviously, especially concerning the ATP. I mean, you still gotta think that the WTA UGGGHHHH Sabalenka, ZZZZZ Iga & Her Therapist, and The Brat will, sooner than later, start to monopolize again, at least at the Slams. Until The Brat fully takes over.

Singles tennis just bores and irritates me at the moment. Hard to really root for anyone, when these silly upsets keep happening,

Sure, upsets happen to everyone. BUT, Carlos....i mean, it should be really simple. Quit with the freaking exhibitions already, try to be a professional, and consider, just for now, taking a page from Raducanu's Playbook, and Dump The Coach. SAME goes for the rest of these mugs. LOL, the only one I give an Out to with this mess is Novax. He at least has the excuse of being Geriatric.

....On a more positive note....those of us in Chicago can look forward to seeing Carlos at the annual Chicago Open in two to three years.
