What an epic battle for Townsend and Krejicokva. Surely the longest ladies match of the tournament at 3+ hours.
Barbora leads over Jess Pegula in head to heads, so I'm sure Jessica is happy that battle lasted so long.
To be fair Krejicikova hit winners on most of those match points including several line clippers.Taylor blew it! I think she had 8 match pts. including many in that 2nd set TB! It was a long match; the TB 25 min. alone!
Yes you would - that's the reason for the beat down.You'd never know Bublik beat Sinner earlier this year based on this beat down.
People are laughing about my response, but Sinner told Anna Wintour, and Rami Malek that it was 'time to revenge' after his practice yesterday.
7-times (which is the record) - first in 2011 - he did not make all four semis in 2008 because he lost 2nd round of Wimbledon to Marat Safin (Safin having previously said that grass was for cows).
His interview with ESPN commentators about 45 minutes after the match made me think he may pull the plug after this season or do an announcement that 2026 will be his final year. He basically admitted his body and mind are at odds with being able to keep up with the younger guys for 7 straight matches in Slams. Which is understandable considering only two years ago he won 3 out of 4 of the majors and was the runner up of the 4th.
Regardless, at 38 (?) it's impressive he's made the semis of every slam so far this year.
I kind of feel like if he could somehow pull off the 25th slam title, he'd pull a Sampras and say "Nope, not gonna get better than this; I'm outta here!"
: but will be happy to be wrong!!!) In the meantime, if De Minaur needs comforting, I'm available. 
The problem with this match was that anytime Fritz was in the match he played terribly - broken in his first service game, broke back for 5-all in the 2nd set, and double faulted twice in the next set, and then serving at 4-5 in the four set he hit 3 unforced errors in the first 4 points, and was eventually broken on a double fault to end the match.
