Top Notch aka Maria Sakkari lost the 1st set to Q Schnaider?....2nd set to Top Notch, though it was a battle, winning 7-5, onto a 3rd set.
Look Top Notch stop complaining about your opponent doing 'fist pumps' like you have never done one ever" try to concentrate on your match at hand, you have been on the tour for sometime, and stop with the carry on 'like if she does one more fist pump' ? LOL!
Top Notch survives a tough match,well done to the Q Schnaider, who pushed her all the way, even with her annoying fist pumps LOL!
36 75 63, Top Notch will need to improve on that performance if she wants to go deep at this years AO

Iga Swiatek having no trouble against Osoria, as expected, 62 63

Coco Gauff defeats Emma Raducanu 6-3, 7-6(4). If you aren't convinced Coco is a real contender to win the AO, then I don't know what to tell you at this point.

I think most of us here expected Coco to win over Emma at this stage of their careers, remember it is only a 2nd round match, lets see how Coco goes where she is projected to play Iga Swiatek in the QFs, that will be the best indication if she is a real contender to win this year's AO., also Iga leads their H2H 5-0

Wow..a lot of good players lost.I was not expecting QZheng,Haddad Maia,and Kvitty to lose this early.Andrescu needs to work on conditioning because she kinda runs out of gas if the match goes to three sets.

She is playing great tennis..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

She is playing great tennis..

Pegula is a dark horse at the AO, the faster courts suit her game and she had that great win against Iga at the United Cup

Good news,
Taylor Townsend will team up with Jamie Murray (GBR) in the mixed doubles.
Taylor will team up with Asia Muhammad, in doubles, they are the 12th seeds ( they recently won a doubles tournament together, before the AO)

I guess she is ready to make bank.I am happy that she is putting herself out there,and she is in the second round in singles.Her ranking has to improve so that she gets into big events without begging for a WC.
