How ridiculous is it that this match was nowhere to be found on TV or streams? Maria battled back after dropping a very tight first set to beat #3 seed Vicky, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2. Vicks Vaporub said after the match that she was rusty from not playing since SW19. Probably true. But Masha showed again why she's awesome: She can gut out matches like this where she's playing like crap and simply beat you on will alone. You go, girl.
In early action, Ana has taken back her Adilibria gear and Dina is once again back to her asexual Competition kit. And her hand is all taped up, which is odd.
But she beat a taped up Dani pretty easily 62 64.
Love Flavia's new Sergio kit. Also love that she's winning. She beat Coco Vandeweghe 2 and 4.
