Day 1 has a wealth of potential to be a spectacular day of tennis.

But I'll say it... I'm dreading Venus/Gauff.

Agreed. A lot of the women’s matches are 50/50, including some of the matches involving seeded players

[liam_valid]

Just watching a bit in my lunch break at pen, nothing untoward happening. Biggest shock so far would be Svitolina winning in straight sets ha. I’m loving Stan’s T-shirt though

[fastbackss]

Sabalenka the first top 10 lady to drop a set.

Kontaveit (20) and Martic (24) are in the 3rd of their respective matches.

[the Moz]

FAA Popsicle quite good so far. 5-all...

[ponchi101]

Rybarikova puts Sabalenka back in her misery. Pretty straightforward.

[MeganFernandez]

Halep's first-round win could prove pivotal in this tournament. Cahill said she was pretty nervous because she is superstitious about opening a new court (she lost in the first match on the new Louis Armstrong at the US Open) and didn't know much about Sasnovich except that she beat Kvitova at Wimbledon last year. So it was a tricky match for her, and tight at 4 and 4, and she came through it with a strong finish. Might be a confidence-builder.

[Ribbons]

Doggone. Was really hoping Nishioka could take the decider...

[the Moz]

Simona was 2-5 down in the second, so good on her to win it straights as it could have been a far trickier encounter.

[ponchi101]

ESPN LA showed Novak/Kholi. So they have the feed for Centre Court. Osaka came next.
So they go to court 1 to show Zverev.
They simply will not show women's tennis unless it is Maria or Serena. They simply won't.

[MeganFernandez]

What are the odds that FAA would draw Canadians in his first two Grand Slam main-draw matches? Crazy.

I can't believe he's #6 in the odds. He's exciting and incredibly promising and it won't surprise me if he wins a few matches, but come on.

Gotta be honest, i've never really noticed this. I believe people here have paid more attention to it and talked about it, but I didn't follow the patterns. This is infuriating. Glad you brought it up. I can understand if the matches are well underway and switching to the better match, regardless of gender. But to make the choice based on gender, apparently, is unconscionable. Osaka is a bigger star than Zverev by any measure.

Edit: I wonder if this is regional. I've been watching ESPN3, so I didn't notice. My friend who has been watching ESPN all da y in Florida said he hasn't seen Sascha all day and Osaka is on.

Rybarikova puts Sabalenka back in her misery. Pretty straightforward.

Rybarikova, the semifinalist from 2 years ago. I expected this and I'd assume others did as well. Rybarikova gets little coverage but given how little she's been around the last year, I was assuming she's been playing through or starting to come back from an injury plagued year and ignored her ranking. I treated her like I would Alison Riske.

[Ti-Amie]

Rybarikova can ruin anyones day when she's in the mood. This was not a total surprise. Sabalenka has a lot of work to do.
