Bianca Andreescu d USTA 18s Champ Katie Volynets 62 64.

 

[10isfan]

Andreescu still taped up. Her entire left leg, including knee. But, she won two tournaments injured so we’ll see what happens

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bianca has played most of her matches this year with either bandages on her shoulder and legs,probably more precautionary,Osaka also had her knee taped as well,still she moved okay in her 3 set win.

Sounds crazy but I picked Bianca to win the whole thing in the draw challenge

Bianca has the game to win....though watch out for Serena she was off the charts last night on Ashe,Maria seems to bring the best tennis out of her.

Halep d Gibbs 63 36 62

First win for Halep at USO since 2016

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am having trouble with the USO website? finally getting on it.

Just watching Potapova v Gauf 2 Junior players

Goodness me the rallies between these two have been incredible

Potapova 18yrs old has a wonderful fhand,great serve,goes for everything

Potapova leads 5-1 1st set and will serve for the 1st set

Coco needs to practice her serve,has been letting her down all match so far.Her shots need to be measured more,making too many UFE.

Coco with a BH winner breaks Potapova when serving for the 1st set,will serve 2-5

Coco holds serve and Potapova will serve for the 2nd time for the 1st set

Potapova wins the 1st set 63.
