Navarro racked up two wins against Haddad Maia today. Beat her in 3 sets, and finished inside 3 hours at 2:47.

Double.

Raducanu saves three match points from 0-40 but catches a strong Kichenok return late on the fourth match point. Fun match to watch, the Brits volleyed better than I expected but the top seeds just had a better feel for the points.

All that crossing must’ve worked. Emma went line three straight times but Routliffe and Kichenok stayed home and hit a volley winner each time, one of them tagging Boulter right in the chest.

Raducanu’s shot hits the tape and skips over Kichenok’s racket. Routliffe covers and hits it off the tape. Raducanu hits the next ball into the tape.

Boulter lobs Routliffe, Raducanu switches sides but crosses again to pick off the next shot. She outduels Routliffe at the net by crossing, then finishes the game with a drop volley. It’s like you’re watching them learn doubles in real time.

Kichenok holds from 0-40 down. The Brits are getting better but they’re still getting caught on poaches, Routliffe and Kichenok way more active at the net. Boulter serving to stay in it.

Really fun to watch the dubs players outmaneuver two superior ball strikers. Routliffe and Kichenok one step ahead of Raducanu and Boulter at every turn, but the Brits just broke back to get on serve in the second.

Classic singles v doubles specialists matchup with Kichenok and Routliffe facing Boulter Raducanu. All four players smiling and having fun, low stakes for the Brits. Obviously the dubs players dominating the net.

OMG I can’t believe I’m watching tennis again. What is wrong with me.

Raducanu back on the grass and absolutely killing Bucsa. Super aggressive playing, up 6-1 3-0.

Mookie’s hitting one handers? Left wrist injury? x.com/kostekcanu/s...

Indiana down 17 with 4 to go. Tuning in JUST IN CASE.

Rewatched the match tiebreak. Neither player made an unforced error or made a bad decision. Alcaraz hit 4 clean winners.

I wonder if the rest of the ATP feel like they play the same sport as these two guys.

How’s everyone doing? Still coming down from that high?

What a fitting ending. One we’ll never forget. Just unbelievable.

Now they’ve both hit a ball behind them and won the point.

Kim Clijsters is Sinner’s mom?

Oh FFS. Come on already.

DROP SHOTS ARE FOR RETURN GAMES!!!!

This match can’t possibly have one more twist can it? I can’t handle any more.

Alcaraz has missed so many second serve returns when dropping deep. Missed a chance to work Sinner some more.

Stop torturing us Carlos. Drop shots now!

Return games are for drop shots now Carlos.

Don’t look at Busy Bee LOOK AT SINNER!!!

There’s totally going to be a Halliburton buzzer beater tonight. It’s that kind of a day.

Early slap for Sinner. He doesn’t want to grind this out.

If Sinner turns into a pumpkin at least it’ll be orange.

Yes!!!! At 4:10 this match has extended past Sinner’s point of no victory. Either he’ll win a match of this length for the first time or Alcaraz will have his first two set comeback.

If Sinner loses this TB he might actually bark at Cahill. Nah, probably not.

I can’t take this much stress.

If this goes to a TB and Carlos tries a ridiculous drop shot I will run screaming into the street.

It didn’t miss by much but that was still the worst Sinner forehand of the whole match.

It would’ve been peak Carlitos to lose serve after breaking back. So glad he pulled it together.

Oh I get it. Carlos is just setting up the classic boomerang break gambit.

Jesus don’t just give it to him Carlos.

That short forehand Carlos had at 40-30 where he took it crosscourt instead of up the line… would’ve brought him to deuce from 40-0 down and put some pressure on Jannik.

Noooooo!!!!!! Lots of immediate break-backs, so let’s hope.

Zverev is watching this somewhere thinking ‘I can do that’.

Hoping for some good cloud cover so we can keep this shadow situation low contrast.

Wouldn’t mind a little dip in Sinner’s level, but is that even a thing?
