SERENA did not like loosing first set 6-2.....so she won last 2 ...6-2 6-2....on her way......tonight KENIN--JABEUR....as i said i worry for the kid....
Caught some action yesterday. Kenin -- Jabeur was a good match. Jabeur is a bigger stronger girl, so it was a little bit of a brains vs brawn contest. Sonia came through all right, well done!
Azarenka looked pretty good too, she is in good shape obviously.
Yes SOFIA did very well in 2 sets ,,,she will play MERTENS tomorrow.....should b a great one...2 belles compétitrices.....and yes happy to see AZA back in the game....she is a sweetheart,
ZVEREZ , DJOKO and SHAPO in primetime all on today,,,,,,go SHAPO......OSAKA also on.
Defaulted, you can't hit balls in anger and have them strike people in the throat, intentional or not. The default of Djokovic was the proper call. I note that the female line judge dropped to her knees, grabbed her throat and appeared to be in agony. It may have nailed her in the trachea.
Wow....what a stunning end for the # 1 Champ....a day he and we will remember....so who will benefit....i would pick Thiem BUT perhaps a CANADIAN va causer la surprise....THIEM will play Aliassime tomorrow....that could b a decisive one...
Zverev looks good in the top half of the draw, maybe that will be his lucky break. In the bottom half I would think either Thiem or Medvedev could make it to the final.
In addition to being defaulted, Djokovic will also forfeit his $250,000 prize money and be fined for the incident, although the greatest punishment is that he was 26-0 this year and lost a golden, golden opportunity to close the gap in titles between Federer, Nadal and him with those 2 out of the tournament:
Novak Djokovic defaulted from his fourth-round match at the US Open after a ball he hit in anger struck a line judge.

By the way, did anyone see the look on that line judge's face when she finally got up and took her mask off? If looks could kill, Novak's cremains would be on the next flight back to Serbia.
