Damn Sloane looks hot in that baby doll dress

Apart from the dress, let see if she can actually win a first round match

Sloane will find a way to loose this match..she is too inconsistent

Good God Sloane trying to stay in the final set against a opponent she should be able to win with ease, though this is the present I guess. Sloane lost the plot in the 2nd set? who knew lol! Scone was up 4-2 2nd set then she lost 16 of the next 19 points to lose the set?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

J. Christian ranked 168 defeated Scone Stephens ranked 48? 57 64 64.....
I am serious, Sloane really has to figure out if she wants to stay on the tour, or go and have a good life with hubby and start having kids, she hired Rafa's previous coach Roig, this year, parted ways after the Sunshine Double, it is not the coaches fault, it lies with your Sloane, you are known to be a 'lazy trainer; for starters, stop wasting your time and figure out what you really want to do.
If you think you can defend your QF points from last year at RG this year, it is not 'happening'., not on this lame performance

Well a bit of a battle going on in Madrid. Kvitova just lost first set against Niemaier after 77 minutes after a tiebreak ending with 12 - 10 to the German. Kvitova already lost her first game in second set. BTW it's Petras match #100 in a W1000 tournament. Now Petra has lost her second game in second set and is behind 0-3.Oh Petra. After a Niemeier hold Petra lost her third game to 0-5, and is on the brink of an out in Madrid

 

[Hoergren]

And after breaking Niemeier she lost her 4th game in second set. The former 3 times Madrid winner is out - watch Petras unforced errors!

Mrs Monfils looks like she has dropped that baby weight really fast. She looks like she is ready to compete with the best of the tour again

Coco Gauff defeats Irene Burillo Escorihuela 6-4, 6-1. She will play Paula Badosa in the 3rd round.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The outstanding result so far today is the 15 year old Russian WC who continues to impress she has defeated the No 13 seed B.Haddad Maia in SS 76(6) 63
Well done!

Elina still needs match play, clay to me is her better surface.

A solid win from Magda Linette over an accomplished clay court player Vondrousova in 3 sets 76(1) 46 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It got tough in the end but Carolina Garcia trying to find her best form again, wins 63 64 over Putintseva, plays Sherif next. Garcia is in Kvitova's section, so has a good draw now ( after Kvitova lost in her first round match today)
I am glad to see Garcia back with her coach Betrand Perret again.

Bad luck, Saba had a early break, Sori broke back on serve 4 all 1st set
Saba 1st set 64, good level from both so far in this match

Sabalenka avenges her recent Miami QF loss to Sorana Cirstea 64 63
A good level match from both players ( bad draw for Sorana who is playing some great tennis)
