Noskova Kostyuk was fun. Noskova almost choked it, but she managed to get through in 3. She served for the match in 2nd set, had 2 MPs at 5:4 and lost 7:5. Then in 3rd when she was up 5:4 and again on serve it was good battle, several more MPs and 10 mins later she got the win.

This match up Slapalenka vs Townsend is way too many errors..
next time she should just keep her mouth shut. Out there giving away her serve games...

Maybe its me but its something about Taylor that feels like the she thinks the world owes her something.. You are correct she should have kept her mouth shut and concentrate on holding her own service games. Seems like she was just happy to collect a bigger check for making it to the 4th round..

It's hard not to feel that way w/ most players out there! It'll be her one claim to fame as she'll be introduced to the crowd as a 4th Rd. loser in a Major from here on out! Happens all the time! Which is why I have to be amused by people who downplay players who're successful winning multiple Big Events, but undermine the achievement by saying it was a weak era! It might be true that the tour facilitated a player excelling over all others, but the player still had to "bring it" consistency regardless! :astonished-face::angry-face::fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth:

Sometimes YOU DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO to get the W
Do not cosign that stuff. It's just like Iga taking a break after dropping a set, every time. Jovic went down 4-2 in the decider yesterday and she didn't call an imaginary MTO. She worked her way back into the match and ended up winning it.
