Would love to know what she claims Zheng does.Navarro loses to Zheng and acts like a spoiled super-rich kid (a rumoured family worth of 3 billion, which trumps ((oh, that word again)) Pegula by some margin), saying that she doesn't respect Zheng as a competitor and telling Zheng that she doesn't know how she has any fans. This after losing 6-7, 7-6, 6-1. Zheng responded gracefully and did not take it too personally.
First set to Felix. He is playing extremely well and smart, too. Better shot selection, showing patience during long points, higher margin of error over the net, good body language, withstanding rather easily Medvedev's merciless pounding on his backhand, not going for too much on his shots. Best that I have seen him play in a long time.
Did, more likely. Which was clobber Navarro 6-1 in the third set. Probably didn't help Emma's mood much.Would love to know what she claims Zheng does.
Vekic on her way, this is rough stuff, Iga is gonna win RG and Gold likely going through Paolini/AKS...thats not exaxctly stiff competition right there at all, Vekic cannot move on clay at all so fully expect a capable clay player like AKS to just abuse her assuming she gets there
Awesome from Felix. Has a shot at a couple medals.
Mixed doubles later today.
Zheng gets a ton of credit for being clutch when she needed to, dealing with the pressure and taking advantage of her opportunities, but it was a very strange match who lost four straight games in the first set to lose 6-2 and was up 4-love in the second set and just committed error after error (37 unforced errors in all). A very uncharacteristic performance by Iga at the worst possible time, especially shocking on the clay of Roland Garros.
