Hartt - Yes - Muguruza is looking really good although that was just a first round match. Relaxed and confident. Petra had a tough struggle against Jankovic - I don't think she's 100% yet. Andrew, wherever he is, would be thrilled to hear about Bouchard/Ostapenko pairing - how many doubles partners has Bouchard had ?

Chazz, Right? He missed by a mile and never cared? It's not hard to figure out and we all have been watching tennis for a while. I do have a large degree of sympathy for Dolgo in that we don't know how the Eastern Europeans grow up. Many of the mobsters and gangsters there look out for promising young athletes and look for favors when they get older. Dolgo has been tied in with the government system from a young age through his family and bribes are common in that part of the world. it is easy to say he is wrong from a Western perspective but it is much more complicated.

Bouchard has played doubles quite often, so has had a variety of partners, including a couple who aren't well-known. They just had a brief interview with her on my sports channel and she mentioned that in the USO where she got the concussion she was playing both doubles and mixed doubles.

Denis Shapovalov won easily over Medvedev in SS. He faces yet another idol, Tsonga. next. At this rate he will play against every idol he had as a kid.
