May as well start the ball rolling.
Sinner was terrific well deserved.
Great winner for the 20 yr old Sinner! Both players with very little grass court pedigree but that 3rd set was very high quality. Id say he enjoyed that one! All the talk in the tennis world has been about Alcaraz , he has his name back in the mix. The question is , can he trouble Novak? Set 1&2 Sinner would have a chance. He didnt get broken at all there , very impressive and broke Alcaraz 4 times.
Sinner has been brilliant hasn't he!
Incredible last 15 minutes. Amazing how the momentum can turn around.
And we have a 4th!! Great tie break!! Really looks like Alcaraz will win from here , although he is yet to break Sinner.
Amazing half volley from the feet there from Alcaraz
He had to earn that tie-break
Alcaraz takes the third set! (Saved two match points) Has really battled and grown into this match.
There should be some brilliant battles in the future between these two!
Norrie has had a very kind draw definitely, but has really improved. Goffin is decent, good chance for both of them as you say! Norrie has great fitness...Goffin looks wrecked after that 5 setter.
Cracking chance for both players, nice to see Goffin back , although he did bore me a bit , incredibly accurate player.
Norrie through to the quarters to play Goffin! Played the big points really well, worked so hard, wasn't much between them despite the scoreline.
Happy for him he seems like a lovely normal bloke, seemed emotional.
Yes, default means you're essentially kicked out of the match, regardless of the score, and the win is automatically handed to your opponent.
Shaking hands isn't mandatory but it's courtesy to do it. No fine if they don't, but a hostile crowd reaction is to be expected.
Two Questions - does default mean the match is awarded to your opponent?
And does a player have to shake hands at the end? what if they don't - fine??
Ostapenko is nowhere near up the top of the Kyrgios irrational toolage scale as the spanner himself
All to do for Alcaraz.
May have to wait another season before he hits his stride on grass.
No grass court warm-up for someone with little to no experience on the surface dues seem a bit odd.
Sinner now two sets up on Alcaraz...Sinner has been terrific...can he keep it up!
Norrie breaks in third set....kinda feels like that's it! Goffin likely wrecked after a 5 set match...great chance to reach a semi...
Norrie breaks again! Serves for second set! And takes it
Winner of this will play Goffin/Tiafoe after a long slog of a 5 set match....really good shot at a semi
Norrie serving for the second set and is broken! Still plenty left in this set!
Norrie really hasn't given away many cheap points. Very solid. Played the big points extremely well.
Alcaraz struggling but he is a battler. Sinner really impressive.
Sorry to see her knocked out, she brings entertainment with her bratish behaviour..a female kyrgios ? 😙
Alcaraz stops the rot , had lost 8 games in a row, lets see if he can make a match of this. Norrie pretty impressive over on court 1.
Norrie again not exactly spectacular but putting in a shift against Tommy Paul...up a set and a break...taken his chances!
Very impressive first set from Sinner. He has fairly quietly gotten this far. If he gets through this you'd fancy his chances as much as anyone else left who is not named Novak.
I mean fair play to the German playing after two kids etc but ostapenko threw that away
Watson out beaten 6-2, 6-4. Second best. In fairness she had a kind draw to get this far.
Norrie Vs Tommy Paul should be a good contest.
Delighted to see Tatjana Maria prevail over the bad tempered and shouty Ostapenko. She fairly threw her toys out of the pram at the finish. Her game like S.Williams based on thumping the ball as hard as possible. Maria found a way to frustrate that and lead her into mistakes. Skill as against raw power.
Nice interview afterwards and looked like she'd happily sign all the kids balls for the rest of the afternoon if let.
Last time I saw it Ostapenko was a set and 4-1 up and that German looked rubbish.
Well that's disappointing. Didn't think Ostapenko would be able to f*ck that up, but here we are. Guaranteed dud semi finalist now.
Ostapenko gone...Jabeur will surely fancy her chances now...
Watson tonked in first set....
Norrie likely to be last Brit standing (in singles)..
Ostapenko taken to a third set. Hope she doesn't throw this away, she couldn't get a more favourable route to the SF's.
