Potopova threw everything at Serena in that t/break,Serena survives 76(5) 1st set.Serena has to clean up her UFE to start with,her serve went missing in action at times.Impressed with Potopva,she is not backing away.
Serena was terrible. Can’t believe she got out of that

Potopova's ball toss needs urgent work,it is too high and forward for starters giving her DFs.Potopva served 5 DFs in the first set,trying to serve out the 1st set is a example.,of course she was broken
Potopova taking a MTO seems like an abdominal injury? if that is correct,no wonder her serve has gone off.
Potopova has received treatment on her abs and is serving at 1-4 2nd set...with a love service game to boot.
Serena wins 76(5) 62.....not her best match but like all champions do they find a way to win.Serena will need to improve as she plays Sabalenka next.Kudos to the teenager Potopova who came to play today.

N.Osaka (3) d O.Jabeur (27) 63 62
Enjoyable match,the scoreline does not indicate the level of play,Jabeur really made Osaka work for the win,she can hold her head high.
Naomi Osaka will play Garbine Muguruza in her next match.

Today we saw the Butterfly effect in an enjoyable and high quality match - actually some of the best play I've seen this AO.
We saw a hug among friends - nice
And the stats with lots of aces and winners but also errors because both players had to bring their A-game - well done ladies
Well here is the doubles partner - the butterfly

Her 10th win in a row - and only in a slam - next up a repeat of the final in FO - Simona Halep. Iga played ok with a few insecure moments and some wonderful shots too.

Just tuning into the match of the '2 K's' Pliskova vs Muchova....I feel this could be an upset match as Muchova knows her friend's game well and she will be sending plenty of balls to make Pliskova play and extend rallies.
4 breaks of serve in the opening 1st set......3 games all.
I like the way Muchova will serve and volley,does not hesitate to come into the net on a good ball,she produced a lovely drop shot and caught Pliskova out.
5 games all 1st set.
Pliskova DF and Muchova will serve for the 1st set 6-5.
Racquet abuse warning for Pliskova as she cracks her racquet frame
Muchova wins the 1st set 75

Pliskova went off court and cracked her racquet and received a code violation from Alison Hughes umpire and 1 point penalty to start the 2nd set.,she cracked her racquet a second time and was reported by a official to umpire Alison Hughes.
Pliskova gets the double break,Muchova has felt the pressure on her serve,made too many UFE
Pliskova 4-0
Muchova finally gets on the board,she needs to reset for the final set and play the tennis like she did in the 1st set
Pliskova 5-1 and serving for the 2nd set
Oh wait Muchova wakes up with good returns and breaks Pliskova while serving for the 2nd set,a tad too late still I hope that reminds her how well she can play
Muchova 2-5 and serving
Pliskova will try for a 2nd time to serve out the 2nd set 5-3
Muchova break again and we are back on serve in the 2nd set,Pliskova serve has gone AWOL,though credit to Muchova she has returned well.Really Pliskova was up 5-0 at one stage in this 2nd set and only has herself to blame with poor shot selections
5 games in a row for Muchova and she also saved 2BPs tough hold.....5 games all
Wonderful play by Muchova a great
fhand up the line giving her BP and another bhand winner
Muchova d Pliskova 75 75.....well done and well deserved,coming back from love 5 down in the 2nd set
Remember I did say I felt this could be an upset match!
Muchova will serve for the match 6-5.....coming back from being down love 5....her game also suits grass.she did have a good run at Wimbledon 2019. making the q/finals.
