Former US Open junior champion, D.Galfi, who entered the draw as a LL, after Korpatsch withdrew due to illness, has defeated D.Collins 64 64
Collins W 9 UFE 41 Ugh!

So, what I think you're trying to say is, the Banshee used to eat players like this for breakfast and now she's slumpin

I was trying to be kind I dont know what the problem is...she is sure slumpin, though for starters it would help her cause if her shots landed inside the court

Just watching highlights of some of the womens matches ( as I was called into work today after D.Collins match, hopefully I will be able to get the week end off)

Good win from Emma Raducanu 62 63 over Krovinic due to the reports she had re-injured her wrist again, I saw her in practice with her wrist strapped.
One of my favorite players to watch, pity she has been on the side lines with injury at times in her career, great variety in her game, Muchova defeated Putinstseva in 3 sets 63 46 64, hopefully she can stay fit in this tournament, she has been having abdominal issues again.
Sofia Kenin defeated Sloane Stepens 64 61, Sloane faded in the 2nd set.

Amanda Anisimova (31) vs Linda Noskova
Anhelina Kalinina (27) vs Linda Fruhvirtova

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lesia Tsurenko defeats Donna Vekic (29) 26 62 62, Donna's poor record at IW continues, as she is yet to make the 2nd round.

Not the 26th Birthday present Belinda Bencic wanted, as her fellow country woman Jill Teihcmann wins 36 63 63, both players have split their 2 previous meetings, Belinda's serve let her down in this match at crucial times.Nice hug at the net! Well played Jill!

As @tossip would say, Scone is absolutely maddening. I saw most of the match last night and I don't know what Francesco saw that would lead him to believe he can help her turn it around. Gone are the days of getting to the latter stage of any tournament w/ her. He'll have to watch Nads previous matches on UTUBE to see the end of a tournament again from the players box.

S.Zhang (22) retires 0-3 against R. Peterson, who wins by retirement.

[MargaretMcAleer]

Upset alert for the No 7 seed Maria Sakkari loses the 1st set 62 to Shelby Rogers, Rogers leads their H2H 3-0
Upset alerted for now as Sakkari wins the 2nd set 64, going to a 3rd set
Shelby had a MTO, trainer working on her right hamstring, which was really hampering her movement
Sakkari leading 5-0 3rd set, sad for Shelby who is not moving on court, though to her credit is not retiring
Sakkari d Rogers 26 64 60....who can thank her lucky stars she moves onto the next rd with an injured opponent in the start of the 3rd set.Bad luck Shelby

 

[kskate2]

Well Shelby should have won in straights and then she wouldn't have injured her hamstring. Had the break and the momentum in the 2nd. A bit of a headcase at different times too

Yep she will look back at that match, and realized it got away from her., she was serving for the match, broken, then picked up her hamstring injury

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice start for Coco Gauff 62 64 over Busca, she'll face either Anisimova or Noskova next.
X.Wang defeats the No 18 seed E.Alexandrova 62 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Camila Giorgi 1st set 63 over Jess Pegula, (3) Jess leads their H2H 62, Camila in her first match, was hitting her ground strokes crisp and clean, impressive, early days yet, lets see what transcends in the 2nd set

Not soo fast Jess Pegula won the 2nd set 61, you of little faith in Madison she plays tomorrow against Cirstea

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good win from the 18 yr old Czech player Linda Noskova defeating the No 31 seed Amanda Anisimova 76(6) 63 . Linda will face Coco Gauff next match

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jess Pegula weathered the storm and found her rhythm, defeated Camila Giorgi in 3 sets 36 61 62!

Lesia Tsurenko defeats Donna Vekic (29) 26 62 62, Donna's poor record at IW continues, as she is yet to make the 2nd round.

Donna refused to shake hands at the net due to some gamesmanship issues she had with her opponent.
