Halep knocked out in the first round by Kaia Kanepi...

Anyone see that coming? Thought not...

Huge upset.

I saw the end when she lost. Looks like she’s facing the same mental block as the other one slam wonders. She was dominated in this match

Garcia/Konta is the big match for the ladies. Mildly surprised Konta slid down the rankings enough not to be seeded here.

Kasatkina might find Babos a tough out.

I'll be looking out for Cibulkova.

Peeps...this Ostapenko v Petkovic match is everything we thought it would be.
Really need Osta to see this one out because of my brackets :)

Saw the last set of Osta. She struggles to close out matches on her serve. Hopefully she will get better as she’s still pretty green.

Kerbie did pretty well in the heat against a chick who threw the kitchen sink at her

Garcia sends Konta packing in straights

Cibby had to win in 3. It was definitely hot here today

I am seeing Patty Schnyder after a long long time. Actually, I was a fan of her in her first innings. I even thought she will make it big at one time.

Anyway, she gave good fight to Maria even though she could not win a set.

Pretty straightforward for Caro. I was expecting a sterner challenge from ex-champ Stosur.

Likewise, Konta didn't offer much en route to being rubbed out by Caroline Garcia.

Nothing major standing out on the women's draw... Azarenka may well take out Gavrilova.

I think Gavrilova double bagelled her first round opponent. So, this match will probably be hard fought.

GSM I had to turn from that match late in the second because the grunting got so loud I didn't want my neighbors to think I was being abused.
