Coco had a rough match. Elena kept Coco on the move. Her serve was her downfall. It's windy I think that affected her toss and serve

C. Gauff 2 6 7

E. Ruse 6 3 5

Nadal's playing Cerúndolo now.
Serena after Nadal on center court. Looking forward to see what kind of shape she's in and where her game is now.

Hoping Djokovic and Alcaraz advance all the way to QF so they face each other. It's going to be a great match.

Rafael expended a lot of energy to win against Francisco. In the post game interview, he admitted he couldn't do the things he did in the past. He said his mind said YES but his body said NO.

F. Cerúndolo 4 3 6 4

R. Nadal 6 6 3 6

I was wondering why Serena was wearing black tape on her cheek. This is why?

Quote:
The 23-time Grand Slam title winning tennis star has been strutting black tape on her cheeks during matches and here's why: According to The Times, the small sections of medical tape on her face are proposed to relieve the eight-time Wimbledon singles champion's sinus problems

Looks like Serena's running out of gas. She looks to be a little puggy around the middle.

great to see her, but this is the surface I thought would give her the best opportunity. She is on my Mt Rushmore of athletes but I don't know with her build at this age if its going to work.

Serena has just about hit the end of the line. Yes, she hasn't had much match play lately, but she's 41, and if she was struggling that badly to beat the 115th-ranked player in the world in the first round at Wimbledon, a place that should suit her game the best at this late stage of her career, well, then she shouldn't be expected to beat good players anymore.

I think it's time for Serena to hang up the Wilson. She didn't look to be in the best of shape. She had a great run.

Berankis is giving Nadal all he wants and more. Another great who's struggling.

I think the suspension helped Rafa. He came back refreshed.

R. Berankis 4 4 6 3

R. Nadal 6 6 4 6

Coco is filling out. Looks like she's gained weight. I have DTV. They're broadcasting channel 900 thru 907. I don't have to watch the simulcast on ESPN. Coco's leading 4 1 over Mihaela Buzărnescu

Coco defeats Mihaela.

C. Gauff 6 6

M. Buzărnescu 2 3

If Nick Kyrgios would play with 10% more effort and 10% less talking he would probably win just about everything. Crazy how lost his opponents look when he takes it serious.

Talent has never, ever been the issue for him. If he were actually a focused player, he would have been a perennial top-10 guy, likely even top-5, and probably would have won a major or two, even in this big 3 era. (I mean, Wawrinka has won 3 Slams, and Kyrgios is definitely more talented.) But he has a 10-cent head, as they say. I don't mind on-court antics, but he takes it to a different level. He gets annoyed for seemingly no reason, as if he's just trying to create drama, and the disrespect to his opponents is incredibly unfortunate, too. He even disrespects and berates his supporters in his own player box, his own team. Dude is a total head case.

Amazing that he lost two sets, but not that he came back. Might be one of those "good" losses, maybe.
Plays an Englishman, so the crowd will be 99% against him. That's instead of the usual 95%.

Match stopped. Medical time out. Nadal went to the locker room to have his foot attended to. His foot has been his bane for some time.

T. Fritz 6 3 0

R. Nadal 3 4 0

Game resumed. About a 10-minute delay.

The old man came through in a tie-breaker. Rafa's playing on one foot. He's showing the heart of a warrior.

I like Rafa too. I don't think he'll be able to beat Novak Djokovic.
