Really good early action.

Konta about to go down
Sevastova up 6-5 in the 2nd on Sharapova after dropping the 1st set
Kudla took the 1st set from Thiem
Querrey dropped the 1st set. Had a 4-1 2nd set lead. Now back on serve at 5-5

Monfils might die on the court.

Its 100 degrees and these guys can't take a damn 3 min break?

The women are allowed a 10 min break in between the 2nd and 3rd sets if a certain temperature is crossed.

The same should apply for the men (2nd and 3rd sets; 4th and 5th sets).

The amount of upsets in the first 2 rounds of this tournament doesn't make sense.

Wawrinka, Goffin, & Querrey all went down on the men's side last night.

Several seeded women players as well

love that they're actually cracking down on enforcing the time-out rule

rafa and nole used to abuse it mightily, and it's a gamesmanship tactic used by hundreds of players at smaller events throughout during the 50-week tennis season

gamesmanship with medical time-outs has been the deciding factor in far too many matches

i feel that when it gets as hot on court as yesterday, the rule they need to look at is when to stop play altogether, or close the roof and turn on the a/c if possible

Tennis Channel focusing on a doubles match instead of the single matches is a joke

Wawrinka's shots weren't popping like they were in round 1. :(

Darn Tsonga. Had a 5-2 lead in the 4th set tiebreak and lost the set and match to Krygios.

This has been a great Friday so far.

Halep with a 15-13 3rd set win. Great match.

Korean player Chung wins the 2nd set against Alexander Zverev. This has been an even match so far.

Del Potro vs. Berdych to come, as well as Federer vs. Gasquet. I might watch those tomorrow on Saturday night.

Yeah I won't be up for much longer. Just seeing how this Sandgren 4th set ends.

That Halep match killed my plans of watching the entire Chung vs Zverev match.

USA player Tennys Sandgren is the last USA player. He reaches the 4th round.

What did you think of the Halep match?

Halep is in the studio.

Coach Darren Cahill told her that she lost her USO match because of her serving.

After that match, she practiced her serve for 3-4 days straight.
