How long will they call it an upset when Venus loses another match? Has she won even 1 on these multiple comebacks taking up space in a draw?
Cant help yourself can you having another swipe at Venus Williams? you dont even watch the present womens game
Venus has earned the right to retire on her Own Terms Period! she was a former Wimbledon champion and earnt her wild card by the way!
Also if you watched Venus she still draws a crowd to her matches, something the current top players have failed to do!
Venus was given a 'standing ovation' today after her loss to Svitolina, if you had watched her match!

There are a host of good womens matches tomorrow, the weather forecast is not good at all,
Elena Rybakina starts her Wimbledon defense, her lead up on the grass tournaments has not been great, due to the fact she picked up a bad virus at RG, where she had to withdraw, and had to stay in Paris for a little while before she could travel to London for the grass tournaments.
Ons Jabeur, last year's finalist, hasnt had her good usual grass preparation either, so far this year she has been picking up injuries, though when she does find her grass play she is a joy to watch, she has plenty of tools in her box of tricks.
Petra Kvitova having a solid grass preparation winning a title, is always a danger on the grass.
Madison Keys has a very good draw, she won the Eastbourne title on grass, not losing a set all tournament, hopefully she can continue at Wimbledon with her good grass play.
Donna Vekic, Kaolina Muchova and Electerina Alexandrova are all dangerous grass court players, have their first round matches as well.
Aryna Sabalenka No 2 seed, who could not play last year, could be a danger if she can watch her margins, she is a good volley player and has won GS doubles titles.

At present Rybakina has a break over Rogers in the 3rd set, and is playing much better now
From a set down Rybakina defeated Rogers 46 61 62! slow start, though Rogers played well in that 1st set, Elina found her game and went onto win!

Good to see Ons Jabeur in solid fashion winning the 1st set 63 over Frech, under the roof of course!
Ons Jabeur finalist in 2022, wins her first match this year in SS over Frech 63 63!

And she doesn't talk over the point. Most of these friggin ESPN folk don't know when to shut up. They constantly talk during the point and after every point. Not every point needs an explanation or commentary. Geez!

Saba off to a good start winning 63, her opponent has not faced a Top 20 player
Though Saba and her screaming today is just way over the top, maybe worse because the roof is closed
If I was Udvardy I would try and body serve to Saba just saying, tangles her up, as Saba loves to move quickly forward on the return

There is a lot of bitching in the ESPN booth.All of dem geriatrics talk too much.The only one that talks about tennis is Johnny Mac.The rest of the women are menopausal and angry at the world for their hot flushes.
