Alcaraz up a break but a poor start mentally with some dreadful shot selection in the service game that turned into a deuce battle from 40-0.

Just as at Wimbledon but on a lesser scale, the spate of upsets and, more importantly, injuries in the men's draw leads to a massive hangover at this stage

Oh Alexandrova with the classic recreational sin of below-tape contact and Swiatek is gifted a break — she earned the opportunity with a stunning stop volley and a BH return winner but wow

Two weeks of outcome-based analysis about risk and reward around a team down three starters and immediately four, and how "champions find a way" based on one of the highest variance situations in football. Thank you Liverpool and Arsenal

PGMOL leaning on referees' call for the VAR error in Fulham vs. Chelsea shows they have no understanding of the sport. It's not a question of the high bar. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of a football action. Anyone who deemed that a "challenge" should not be in the sport

Yes, big courts are good for showcasing matches, but there is just no reason for Maria Sakkari and Beatriz Haddad Maia to be starting a match at 11:20 p.m. with two show courts having been available for hours

Another pretty grim example of female tennis players being put in threatening positions mid-match. nytimes.com/athletic/65863…

It's the way that VAR decontextualises incidents into abstract bits without any consideration that they are part of a fast-moving game of 22 players that makes it so ruinous for football
