First round wins for Shelton, Djokovic, Paolini, Fernandez and Sabalenka.

But Medvedev went out throwing a tantrum.

The commentators said that some of the players did not like the starting of the tournament on Sunday, the players think it was exploitive as it is an extra day of ticket selling, but if they look at it from their well-being angle it might to better for them, as their matches will be more spaced out.

I don't think the organizers have made it a secret not to admit the financial angle here.

How do these complaining players expect a $5M winners check at the conclusion? The runner-up is also pulling in $2.5M.

Yes, some people are not logical, they think short-termly. However, Madison Keys is an up and down player, knocked out in 1st round to a low rated player

Mboko also went out, though it was a tough first-round draw against former two-time Slam winner Kreijcikova.

Venus lost a three-set against 11th seed Muchova, and Svitolina also lost.

Other first-round winners were Tiafoe, Alcaraz, Townsend, Rybakina and Andreeva.

Ostapenko is a disgusting racist.
Glad you beat her Taylor T.

An ugly incident, Ostapenko might be subconsciously racist. Many people are victims of societal conditioning, most societies condition people to believe that dark-skin people are substandard intellectually.

She is possibly racist because of the language used, but isn't she known for being a sore loser no matter who she loses to? Case in point to Tatjana Maria.

The matter that no one is talking about is the threat Ostapenko made at the end of the argument, she said she would be waiting to see Townsend outside of America.

IMHO Ostapenko is the one who lacks class.

Other second round winners yesterday include Gauff, Swiatek, Felix AA and Sinner.

Osaka beat Baptiste in straight sets.

The British primadonna got a thrashing from Rybakina 6-1, 6-2 .

Waiting for the excuses. I bet she was not 100% fit ....smile

That was a thrashing!
lol
Townsend continued her good run with a third round upset of third seed and Russian darling Andreeva. It's refreshing to see someone so eager to come to the net and volley on a regular basis.

Shelton was leading Mannarino by two sets to one, until a shoulder injury forced him to retire. Tiafoe lost in straight sets to big-serving Struff. Sabalenka got revenge on Fernandez.

Other third round winners include Alcaraz and Djokovic.

Felix AA came from a set down to knock out third seed Zverev in four sets.

Osaka worked hard to beat Kasatkina, and will now have a fourth round match against Gauff, who had an easier third round win.

Other third round winners include Sinner and Swiatek.

Townsend had eight match points against double-Slam winner Kreijcikova, but failed to convert. Pity!

Others advancing to the quarter-finals with the Czech include Alcaraz and Djokovic, but Rybakina went out too.

Felix was dominant today, Coco was flat, did not make any adjustments, surrendered.

The fun seems to be in the women's double court with Leylah and Venus who is twirling away into the quarters and drawing huge crowds..... smile

The women's doubles match was an enjoyable watch.
big grin
Felix beat Rublev in straight sets, and Osaka did the same to Gauff.

When Osaka is playing at her best, she's like a mini Serena.

Among those also advancing to the quarter finals were Sinner and Swiatek.

I watched the doubles match and it was very entertaining and enjoyable. Venus even jokingly put out a call to Serena to be present in their box for the next round.

Also i think Naomi is peaking once again. Looks like she can go the distance here again.
