Sinner wins the tiebreak for Set 1.

 

Another tiebreak and Sinner is up two sets to love.

Berrettini probably won't win this match, but he should come away from it feeling good about the comeback. He is right there with the No. 1 player on the planet.

Nice win today for Jasmine Paolini. She had never won a main-draw match on grass until last week at Eastbourne, where she won one when her opponent retired with an injury. She followed that with a win over Katie Boulter, who has been red hot on grass and was coming off a tournament title. So far at Wimbledon, Paolini has put up a couple straight-set wins and is looking strong. She gets Andreescu, another nice comeback story, in Round 3.

 

Is this Andreescu's fifth or sixth comeback?

 

She's been playing pretty well lately.

Berrettini feels a whole lot better about his comeback after blitzing Sinner 6-2 in the third set. Game on!

 

Tiebreak in the fourth!

26 aces so far for Berrettini.

 

It's over. Sinner takes the tiebreaker to win the match. But Berrettini looks like a top 10 player again.

 

Might be the last time Vondrousova will be in the same company with Steffi Graf. That was a hell of a run for Lori McNeil in 1994 too. I think she made the semifinal.

 

Man I wanted Jabeur to win last year.

 

This Andy Murray retirement interview with Sue Barker is very well done. Better to have it when he's playing doubles (and still has mixed doubles to play) than after a singles loss.

 

Well, he's not playing singles at Wimbledon. Hopes to play singles at the Olympics.

 

Apparently he said in the press conference today he’s not playing singles at the Olympics.

 

Tiafoe has had a rough year, but he always seems to find his game against Alcaraz. Came from 2-4 down to win the first set, on serve in the second. Tiafoe’s return of serve has been fantastic.
