I think she would love to have her revenge on Coco going into Wimbledon. So motivation won't be an issue. That match might not happen though cause there are other good players in the field.

him & Pekto taking it in turns, same as Stuttgart

I think you are being harsh on Berlin, but I don't watch The Vlog.

Qinwen turned up but withdrew before playing.
Jasmine was a gentlewoman and got beaten up by Ons, hadn't adapted enough to the grass yet.
Mirra didn't seem particularly bothered when it started to go wrong and didn't fight/care to turn it back around.
Jess seemed to be carrying a slight niggle and she did fight but came up just short.

This quick turnaround from RG final to grass court matches can't be easy for Aryna & Coco, and if the tournament isn't exactly the best then they may be more accepting of a loss/less likely to fight like crazy to turn it around than they usually would. like I said, my theory will be tested out.

mirra was bothered wise. you dont get emotional if youre not bothered

The Kartal Boulter match is a little weird. Crowd don't know what to make of it.

New Rafa vs Old New Rafa later at Queen's.

Coco on the ropes

let's gooooo Berlin!!!!!!

Amanda had the trainer on for her back.

Her reward is IJBABP syndrome plus having to play a rested Paula tomorrow.

Good opportunity for Paula now so surely time to bin off the doubles.

last time they won in doubles but withdrew before the following round it didn't go down very well. they started to get a reputation for it. surprisingly this week they've won twice in doubles, both in straight sets. the next doubles match won't be played before both QFs have been done, but as you say if both are still in for the SFs you'd think it would be sensible if they withdrew

just double checked and their first doubles was 61 mins and today's was 60 mins

Amanda of a few years ago would have tapped by now

said it before ill say it again. carlos is so sloppy so often in matches

frech about to won from short odds down twice in a row

Canadian tennis is in a sticky patch at the moment.

Felix, Diallo and Shap all losing today. Felix as the tacit face of Canadian mens tennis so brittle at the moment in any tussle.
Leylah (who was introduced before her second round match as 'most famous for losing to Emma Raducanu') an absolute shadow of the player that seemed to have the focus and iron determination for success of a slam winner. Stakusic unable to get through qualifiers.

Mboko's red hot year currently the only ray of light for Canada.
