[MargaretMcAleer]

Upset Alert!

Katie Volynets just handed a Bagel to 5th seed Marketa Vondrousova
Marketa did have a fall in the 3rd game of the 1st set, and grabbed at her ankle, hopefully she will be okay

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play suspended on all outside courts due to rain
Roofs on Lenglen and Chatrier will be closes all day due to the weather forecast

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Garcia and Kenin have just started their match on Chatrier, not many people in the stands,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well no surprise to me. Caroline Garcia (21) goes out in straight sets 63 63 to Sofia Kenin

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

No play on the outside courts before 4pm
Forecast only gets better at 7/8pm

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Colour me Surprise Ons Jabeur has won another match defeating Osorio 63 16 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

All doubles matches have been cancelled for the day, even the ones that started before the rain

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

All play is cancelled on the outside courts
Tomorrow's schedule will be crazy
And the forecast is terrible again

Osaka is playing decently against Iga.

 

[don_fabio]

Osaka almost stole a set at 5:4 on Iga's serve, had a setpoint, sprayed BH a little bit too long. 5:5 now. Iga is making a lot of mistakes since she was up 4:2.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka is rushing Iga and she is making too many ufe at present
Like the level that Osaka has brought to this match,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

6 games all TB for the 1st set between Osaka v Swiatek

 

[don_fabio]

Iga in locked down mode in TB, leaves no chance to Osaka. 7:6.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Iga in locked down mode in TB, leaves no chance to Osaka. 7:6.

Iga is soo tough isnt she?
Iga saved a BP and eventually wons the 1st set by dominating TB 76(1)

 

[don_fabio]

Now Osaka with a double break in the 2nd set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now Osaka with a double break in the 2nd set.

Osaka has come out of the gates fast in the 2nd set, lets see if she can go on with it

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gauff v Zidansek match has just started on Lenglen

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

With the roof being closed on Chatrier this favors Osaka more, she is a flat hitter of the ball, with a good 1st serve and can attack the fhand wing of Iga with hard flat shots, not allowing her to adjust her feet, causing UFE. Iga's top spin fhand is not as lethal when the roof is closed

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Osaka doing Iga things and hands Iga a bread stick in the 2nd set
Iga dosent like facing big hitters, eg Osaka, if she dosent clam down she will be out of this tournament
Going 3 on Chatrier now

 

[don_fabio]

Why are the seats half empty for this blockbuster match? Too greedy organizers?

Osaka is playing lights out. A loose error here and there, but if she can keep like this I think she has a legit chance to win. Serving phenomenal too.
