Description
Monday was the day when the bottom half of the men's draw blew wide open, with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev both losing to inspired performances from Holger Rune and Marin Cilic. Is that the best Cilic has played since the 2014 US Open? How did Tsitsipas assess the match in his press conference? And who is favourite to come through the bottom half? In the women's draw, we talk about an epic first set between Iga Swiatek and Qinwen Zheng, the importance of Zheng openly talking about her period pains, the ever reliable Jessica Pegula, and the scintillating form of Daria Kasatkina. Finally, there's a preview of Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic LIX. Why has it been scheduled at night? And how might the conditions affect the match?
