Krstin beat Becker! Great result, he was twice a break up in third and served for match at 5:3, got broken but in tiebreak was great 7:2. He's in no 200 after this win with a chance to go to 180 if he wins in the final.

Errani out  In women's tournament the last italian was Roberta Vinci

Well, I sensed Allertova could surprise but didn't believe it... Very good, solid performance. I really like the way she plays.

Muguruza is sinking  Zhang-Wozniacki was screaming upset, so did Gasparyan-Vinci. I am really sorry Rita chocked 4-0 lead and missed two match points. I like her backhand a lot! Vinci had moments of pure brilliance though, definitely deserved win.

There were more than five matches where one of the players saved match points and won eventually, I reckon.

On the one hand, I am glad Ivanovic won, but on the other, I couldn't regret more for Tiafoe. If I could, I'll change Ivanovic's win for Tiafoe... However, surprisingly good effort from Tiafoe. Match wasn't of particular quality, but the tension was palpable. Frances is enjoyable to watch, but his physical stamina is worrying at the moment. Serve let him down in the deciding set.

 

Kuznetsov continues with steady progress, that is great to see.

 

Won't comment Kyrgios, his attitude. No surprise from Ramos anymore, after Federer, he "schooled" two youngsters in a row now

 

I like Gavrilova as a player. Many consider her annoying, but she is amusing to me. Fun, with not so common display. But unfortunately, her mentality isn't the factor one can count on. Again  losing her strings after finding herself in winning position.

 

Stephens in 10-0 at International events this year and 0-2 at any higher grade WTA tournament  Bouchard is coming back, slowly but surely.

Time to revenge Milojevic

I think Krstin has decent chance for the title.

Zverev's backhand

Disappointed with Khachanov! Had match points in both sets, second and third and succeeded to waste them. Good week, but could have been excellent,

Sascha  Second set hiccup I can forgive, but these marathons are not necessary. Luckily there is one day off, but match against Simon (most likely) will be new hell...

This year i was not so able to watch any major tournament, just few matches in AO, but i was surprised with the performance of Aga she really impressed me again after a series of failures!
