Hurkacz injured his knee and was forced to retire just when it looked he's about to level at two sets a piece... What a rotten luck on his favorite surface. Great result for young Adrthur Fils of course.

Super sucks.

Pegula out... fought off match points in the second and won it with a tremendous winner, chasing down a rop shot and whipping a passing shot, and then meekly lost the third. It was windy, but still. Was defending semifinal points. When will she drop out of the top 10?

David Witt is available again. Maybe they should reunite.

Roddick had Pegula beating Iga and making the final.

This artificial match interruption "due to darkness" IMO destroys the natural flow of the matches. Slams supposed to be played over 5 sets. And it puts a major premium on the fitness. But when losing players gets "out of jail card" it messes up the logic of the match. The player who is winning 2 sets then has a pressure to finish before darkness and is mentally at huge disadvantage. I believe this is what happened to FAA (and we've seen these scenarios many times in the past). It maybe good for the drama, but bad for enforcing the sports principle of honest competition. Getting the normal lights for outer courts is ten times cheaper than building the roof. I think they are not doing this, because the principle of fair play for them is secondary, while the premium is the convenience for their community. But I'm sure there are plenty of other communities that would be happy to hold such an event and they can put the convenience of players ahead of their own convenience (given how much revenue such tournament provides). US Open and Australian Open changed their location over the years. So for the slam to change location is not out of the question.

B3 in the first week fixes the problem.

In this case we are losing the point of comparison. The slam where all 7 matches were played BO5 historically shall be considered a bigger achievement (and rightly so) than the one where some matches were BO3. It will be a shame if slams will be devalued in such a way.

Actually, Pegula was defending QF points. She has never made the semis of a major. Bad loss for her.

Oh, you're right, sorry.

No one devalues the World Tour Finals or Masters tournaments because they aren't B5 anymore. It wouldn't matter, especially if week 2 is still B5. I bet a lot of B3 matches now are just as long, time-wise, as B5 matches used to be, when points were shorter.

And the WTF are one step BELOW a slam, precisely because of those reasons.
Played all over the place, BO3 matches. It has no historic venue to call home, and there is a lot of tradition that was lost.

The AELTC will never move from their location because, well, it is a club. And the moment they were to move, a lot of the prestige would go.

The WTF was always below Slams. Not because it was B5, but because it wasn't 7 rounds at the most prestigious events. The [point is to compare the tournament under B3/B5 to the tournament under all B5. And the reputation of the WTF and Masters didn't change when they dumped B5. We don't value them less than we did when they played B5 (in finals, at least). Slam reputation would be just fine with B3/B5.

A strange match between Swiatek and Martic. Only 3 break points the entire match (all for Iga).

So the top British players on both sides of the draw go down to fellow Brits, and neither result was a big surprise. Boulter was a point or two away from losing to Dart when they played three weeks ago on grass and had to be feeling tremendous pressure. That's a match she should not have lost, particularly after going up 6-2 in the match tiebreak, but it is understandable.

The ESPN announcers tried to explain away Draper's five-set win against career journeyman Elias Ymer as the function of Ymer playing fantastic (and maybe he did; I didn't see the match), but it did not bode well for his matchup with Norrie, who made the semis two years ago. After breaking a long skid in the first round, he had to relish the opportunity to take Draper down. One of the ESPN commentators predicted his win yesterday. He's a dogged competitor.
