Learner has now won 10 games in a row!

ChessieFL · 25/01/2026 09:00

Phew, Daniil has a game. At least it won’t be a double bagel.

ChessieFL · 25/01/2026 09:13

That was a strange match. Learner played brilliantly. Daniil just couldn’t do anything against him.

StartupRepair · 25/01/2026 09:23

Poor Daniil. Learner played so well.

Raahh · 25/01/2026 09:43

I like Learner- but it's a shame his win came at the expense of Daniil.
I have only just had chance to switch on- and it's not looking great for Sasha.

Glad to see that Carlos beat TP.

Looks like i might have to actually do something with my morning , unless the Andreeva/Svitolina match is a really long one.

Raahh · 25/01/2026 10:00

Damn, Mensik has withdrawn. How much luck does Djok need? Angry

Raahh · 25/01/2026 10:05

That was the second night match on Laver tomorrow- and after Iga (which could be a short match against qualifier Inglis, unless Inglis plays the match of her career).
I think there might be a schedule shake up.

It’s unbelievable. And Mensik beat him the last time they played.

Quite surprised by the outcome of Daniil and Sasha’s matches! ADM and Learner both playing amazingly.

Inglis will have the crowd advantage, but I’m not sure that’s going to be enough to get her past Iga.

It had to be Djok’s opponent that withdrew. Hope Mensik is OK, shame for him he’s had to pull out.

Raahh · 25/01/2026 10:19

I had high hopes for Jakub- I said yesterday that 5 sets are different to 3, but I still felt that at this stage, he was a player capable of rattling Djok, especially after beating him last year.

Bloody typical .

IceandIndigo · 25/01/2026 10:46

Elina playing like a woman on a mission.

...but Mirra has woken up now.

ChessieFL · 25/01/2026 11:07

Come on Mirra!

JaneJeffer · 25/01/2026 11:10

Conchita looks a bit worried

JaneJeffer · 25/01/2026 11:19

Don’t mention the war 😬

ChessieFL · 25/01/2026 11:34

That’s a shame. I wanted Mirra to win.

Raahh · 25/01/2026 11:34

Well done to Elina- but I do feel sorry for Mirra. The boos were not necessary at all. This is not her fight. It's Elina's choice not to shake hands .

Raahh · 25/01/2026 11:35

ChessieFL · 25/01/2026 11:34

That’s a shame. I wanted Mirra to win.

I did really.

JaneJeffer · 25/01/2026 11:35

Surely they know by now about the handshake. Booing an 18 year old Angry

IceandIndigo · 25/01/2026 11:36

Well done Elina. I couldn’t work out why Mirra was crying during the match.

it's annoying it should have to be explained still- it's been 4 yearsSad. It always ends up making the loser look bad- when it's not their choice.

JaneJeffer · 25/01/2026 11:50

I’m really surprised by the score in Daniil’s match

Raahh · 25/01/2026 11:59

Tim knows full well that they will schedule the big names wherever they want to be .

Casper back on Laver then.

Fizzywinegum · 25/01/2026 12:50

That’s so annoying and typical that Djok just goes through to the next round - he’ll then face either Musetti or Fritz who I don’t really think would put up much opposition but here’s hoping - I’m also a bit annoyed that all of Lorenzo’s matches have been scheduled in the early hours (UK time) so I’ve not had chance to see him yet

Maybe Daniil just got fed up of playing 5 set epics against Tien - he has been playing well this tournament so the scoreline was a bit of a surprise

I didn’t see any of the Svitolina/Andreeva match - I think the umpire does need to make some sort of announcement in these situations - not everyone is aware of the no handshake thing and the person who has not made the decision usually gets booed - poor Mirra

Raahh · 25/01/2026 13:55

I'm annoyed I haven't seen Lore Fizzy- would have been nice if their match had been switched to the night match once the Djok match was cancelled. But I understand why the Casper one was moved- though I'm wondering if he really does like playing so much at night (I doubt he's too good in the heat though).

I'm not sure Fritz or Lore will be able to get past Djok. The hths are terrible for both- 11-0 against Fritz, and 9-1 against Lore. Plus Djok considers AO to be his event.

Hopefully he won't get past Jannik though- but Jannik will need to be fully fit.
