^^ Well that explains why Scone isn't playing any warmups. She's not on the continent yet.

Gauff won the first set 7-5 against Pliskova!

She had been down a break after the first two games in the second, but they’re back on serve.

EDIT: forgot to mention she saved a few SPs serving at 4-5.

 

[kskate2]

And then breaks Pliskobot at 4-4 and will serve for the match. She's playing very well today. Has more aces than the former tour ace leader.

Serena has arrived in London, with daughter Olympia,just watched a video, via twitter, both looked happy and smiling.

She needs to leave the child behind so she can focus on her craft not being a mommy IMO. Serena hasnt been the GOAT in juggling both roles.. only a select few have.. Klisters did it most recently

Margaret, my lord you react so fast. Tell me how many grand slam have she won with her child near her ( you wouldn't let me court when it's was prebirth)?

Look I have just come home from work, had a hard night, BTW, let me think about it and I will get back to you.Does it really matter if Serena's daughter is with her? I was also delivering babies

Yes ma'am. Ask @kskate2 KELI, Serena ain't focused on just tennis. She is trying to do double duty. There's some validity in my opinion

I am certain Serena has some help with her daughter, especially if she is going to play a tournament.If I see any more video's via twitter I will post okay.
You worry too much btw.
