Was watching. Sloane has lost her fight. Looks like Opelka’s back is now healed.

I was expecting Mpetshi Perricard to make a deep run but the other French man 38 year old Monfils got the better of him in a tight one ....

Osaka had a good three-sets win over the seeded Muchova.

Gauff's service problems returning in her second round match.

Not convincing, but Gauff still won in straight sets.

I thought Monfils had retired last USA Open. However, many new faces are coming on the scene, it is the start of a new era.

Saw the Swiatek match (in person I might add, blessed I am) and I will say, if she gets her first serves right, she will be tough to keep from the title. Aussie Alex de Minaur has a big service but he strikes me as a touch above ordinary.

Monfils won again, and advanced to the third round at the grand old age of 38....

Also winning today were Jabeur and Shelton.

You're in Melbourne? That must have been a great experience.

Paolini, Keys and Rybakina won their second round matches, but Tiafoe goes out. Medvedev lost the first two sets to Californian qualifier Tien.

Tiafoe is the present-day James Blake, good talented fighting player, but it seems he just does not have enough to win a major tournament

Nice match.
Sadly those five sets if more than five hours will hurt his chances to go much further.
He clearly has a future. I thought Meddy had it after he won Sets 3 and 4 - good fight.

Alcaraz and Sabalenka advance, but Osaka retires injured.

Gauff vs Fernandez up next.

A convincing win for Gauff, at four and two, to go through to the fourth round.

What was that with Pegula. Looks like a tame surrender for the #7 seed ....

Talk about tame surrenders, Raducanu was thrashed at one and love by Swiatek...the Great British hope goes out.

All fours for Monfils, who advanced to the fourth round by beating fourth seed Fritz in four sets, but his other half Svitolina has lost the first set to Paolini.

Eighth seed Navarro beat Jabeur in three sets, while Rybakina also won her third round match. Shelton and Tien also moved into Round Four.
