Quick check at the forecast suggests rain likely for much of today, but it'll clear up for most of the rest of the week and will actually be sunny on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately the rain will come back after that. Sigh.
Enjoyed Kyrgios v Cecchinato yesterday. Very high standard of play with Cecchinato defending and nailing drop shot after drop shot to force two tiebreakers. Kyrgios was clutch when it mattered and got through.
Kvitova had to fight very hard to get past Kovinic. She was in complete control up 6-2, *3-1, but collapsed to end up 4-5* down in the final set before her opponent made a terrible miss at Deuce (if she made a decent volley, she would have had match point). Was ruthless after that.
Watson v Gibbs was a grindfest in heavy conditions with Gibbs getting the better of it with extraordinary defence and anticipation. Watson missed far too many short balls and let her opponent get in her head. Still going with Gibbs up 2-1 40-30 in the final set. They're not back on first so they might get delayed into Tuesday.
