Iga Criticizes Tennis Calendar; "Too Intense"
www.espn.com
This has long been a complaint with many players. It's just like all the other too-long professional sports seasons, driven by a hunger for profits.
Swiatek again slams 'intense' tennis calendar
Iga Swiatek criticized the relentless tennis calendar ahead of Wimbledon, saying players should not be forced to compete in more than 20 tournaments a year to maintain their rankings.
Big first day.....surprise... MEDVEDEV out.....same for TSITSIPS qui s'est retiré after losing 2 first sets.....not going well for him........CARLOS and FÉLIX had a long day BUT went through...and how about DIALLO...wow....on fire in 3 easy sets....more more more.

Early tomorrow Leyla will play Siegemund. C. GAUFF lost 7-6, 6-1 against Yastremska !
The 18 years old Canadian MBOKO won against M. FRENCH 25TH favorite.
Oui...belle petite surprise la victoire de MBOKO....de plus une lucky loser et a quand même battu une très bonne joueuse......et agree....wow....la défaite imprévue de GAUFF/1er tour.....est le haut fait de la journée. RYBA----IGA et COLLINS ont mieux fait.
Parlant de LEYLAH ça ne regarde pas bien.....vient de perdre le 1er set 6-2......à suivre,

You didn't mention that her German opponent is 37 years old, won 64 points to 48 for Leylah, did not have her serve broken and made 71% of her first serves. Leylah couldn't have done much about the last of those match stats.
If she played like her US Open final in 21’ No doubt she would have won. What really matters in pro tennis is what you have between your ears….
Leylah is a great athlete but she lost confidence in her game.

I am not sure Sabalenka should be advising her fellow players on mental health issues, but she is doing so anyway:

Sabalenka urges Zverev to address mental health
Aryna Sabalenka advised Alexander Zverev to address his mental health before such issues "destroy" him, with the world No. 1 pointing to herself as an example of a player who benefited from speaking with a therapist and her family.
Siegemund who eliminated Leyla, did the same today with Madison Keys.
That's some consolation for Leyla lost !
Sinner had tied a Wimbledon record by ceding only 17 games through the 1st 3 rounds, and is only the second male player to do so. The 1st, Jan Kodes, lost in the semifinals in 1972 to eventual champion Stan Smith. Sinner also has not been broklen through 3 matches:

Sinner sails into 2nd week without dropping serve
No. 1 Jannik Sinner made his way to the fourth round for the seventh consecutive Grand Slam tournament Saturday at Wimbledon. He has yet to drop serve across his opening three matches and has conceded just 17 games.
