Kasatkina really struggling w/this heat already

Is the roof closed, or they opened it back up again?

It's open again

Some of these returns by Sabalenka She's a big strong girl

Joker got the early match tomorrow. It's gonna be hot as hell. If he was playing the Foe/Shelton winner instead of that scrub Fritz, I'd say there's a chance for an upset.

With the roof open again, I think Sinner might have the slight advantage over Zverev now

Any specific instances as to why you say that?

I think a faster court favors Sinner and with the elements coming into play more, that tends to affect a big server like Sasha a bit more.

It could go either way tho so no telling really, I just feel like Zverev would've benefitted more from a closed roof.

One thing to slow Sabalenka down is to move her side to side. She does not have the best footwork

That's if you can take her power anyway

She's a lot more mobile than ppl give her credit for and she's been working those drop shots and volleys into her game

When she gets her first serves in and limits her unforced errors she's the most intimidating WTA player rn by far

Kind of like Nadal and Djokovic being lucky their era didn't have many heavy hitters like it was 15 years ago

Lol Nadal would still have 15+ majors. Nobody in any era stopping him at RG

If Sinner can't break down the Zverev forehand...he can't go to anywhere on the court.
