    I thought the same thing Nino but center court is the only one with roof/lights. Joker was designated to play court 1 and it was just not logistically possible to get everything moved to that court. At least that was the reasoning that I heard.

    Both Ostapenko and Kuznetsova are worth a little sprinkle.

    Yeah, don't buy that excuse. Especially when you have an unfinished mens & mixed doubles match to finish, a full slate of womens matches and you know you are going to most likely have 1 court to use.

    Will have to see how they plan out the match schedule but taking the power hitters indoors on a fast surface is sharp. Like Rybarikova if they play outdoors.

    I've been fading and losing Venus Williams thinking her vehicular manslaughter would be a distraction

    She was cleared days ago. Was the guy who died's fault. He ran into Venus as Venus was legally in the intersection.

    Take Ostapenko today. Ostapenko has the moxie to push Venus around. I think she wins a 3 setter.

    El Nino, true, Ostapenko will be all out attack which was too much for Halep. Just don't see Venus playing defense though +she's a beast on the green. Definitely a three setter.

    Actually think all the games today could go either way: Muguruza has lapses, same with Coco (Ryba has really suprised and underrated), Konta and Ostapenko have decent shots... we'll see

    Venus severely undervalued in this tourney. She'll probably win it all. Playing great tennis right now and seems to be more motivated and healthy than ever.

    Ostapenko needs to fix that ball toss. So inconsistent. She may be going home in about 25 min.

    Her 2nd serve sucks. Venus is eating it up.

    That court looks like shit. I see more divots out there than on a golf course.

    It's been hot. Besides today, there was like 2 hours of rain. Courts are tore up and moving fast. Players have been talking shit about the grass all week.

    Commentator said before the match that she will struggle with her "powder puff" 2nd serve

    spot on

    I don't see it. With her attitude, she could start sucking your rooster and before you blow your load, she could rip off your rooster and have it dangling from her mouth like a dog with a kong toy.

    I like how Rybarikova just might pull off an 'upset' was 2.8 for the win, yet lost only one match on this surface... Coco usually unravels under pressure and I don't see her getting a break in this set.

    Long rain delay coming. Coco & Rybarikova on serve in the 2nd. Coco down a set.
