AP,

From what I can find out Serena and Venus have not practiced together for their up coming doubles match on Saturday, giving Serena enough time to recover from her ' knee tweak'

BTW,

Aryna Sabalenka hasnt lost in straight sets at a major since the US Open in 2020
Quite frankly I dont think this stat has received enough press!

I sure would not want to see Keys and Rybakina 's title run wasted by Mertens and Anisimova stopping them
Well I cant see Mertens defeating Rybakina, Elena leads their H2H 7-1, unless Elena goes back playing like she did pre Wimbledon with her fhand missing and massive UFE in her 2 grass tournaments, Elena was 'clinical' in her match against Caty McNally the other day

This will be the first meeting on grass between Madison and Amanda, Amanda leads their H2H 1-0 that was on a HC WTA finals in 2025 in 3 sets.
Both players play first strike tennis, they will have to watch their margins, also their serve will be a factor, both have strong ground shots, Madison her fhand and Amanda with her bhand, Amanda did cone into Wimbledon with a strain back? lets see

I know your not a fan of Saba, lets see, in saying that Osaka has been playing good grass tennis, making the 4th round at Wimbledon for the first time
go back and read where I have stated Sabalenka is must watch TV..I said it last 3 years . She is not my favorite like a few others.. Heck I like her a helluva alot better than Osaka.. I dont know what else i can say..

Rybakina losing the 1st set in a TB 76(4) to Mertens, the main thing that stood out to me was the UFE on her fhand, which appears to have gone walk about, Rybakina had 16 UFE in the 1st set

I havent got any data from the last 3 years AP lol! I just got the sense you didnt like her that much, hey thats okay, we all cant like the same players, well at least I know where you stand with Osaka, there is something about Osaka, that I cant put my finger on Osaka, I find her 'weird' in ways or maybe I am the weird one :)

If there is one player that I ever felt was purposely throwing a match its Rybakina today.. Mertens isnt doing anything special

Mertens cant miss and Elena cant hit a bloody ball

AP this is going to be a nasty result for Elena

Mertens leads 4-1 in the 2nd set
