Agreed. Classless crowd, but not as surprising as the raucous crowd last French Open; very un-French! They had to ban alcohol in the stands

Draper playing well and Kokkinakis looking exhausted here0

Some player like playing in a loud venue, even if the crowd's supporting the other player. I guess it would feel like playing an away Davis Cup game, where crowd involvement is more usual than in the Grand Slams.0

What a win in the end for Draper. Fair play. Hopefully that hasn't taken too much out of him for the next round.5
-
Great performance from Draper, superb game in front of a hostile crowd, so good having two British men into the third round5
-
Superb match and great win for Draper. His opponent in the next round, Vukic, also went to 5 sets today4

He is a very good player imo, like Murray he just needs a break through slam and then he'll be on his way.1 -

Not surprised with Kokkinakis playing the crowd up given he's best mates with Kriygos.0

Looks to me like Radacanu starts at midnight tonight.0

Yeah Raducanu should be getting started shortly.
Boulter scheduled for 6am U.K. time.0 -
Raducanu breaks her opponent’s serve early. Let’s see if she can consolidate the break.0

She can’t. Back on serve immediately at 1-10

Boulter lost earlier today in 3 sets. 7-6 2-6 6-20

Back problems this time for Emma. Looking back at her US Open win, apart from the miracle of winning as a qualifier, and not dropping a set, the amazing thing is that she made it through the event without any injury issues.1

She often beats players ranked above her - due to reduced matches and therefore reduced ranking points, her ranking often is higher than the level she is playing. Maintaining a ranking where she doesn't need to go though qualifying makes a huge difference.
I've read so much rubbish from people saying how useless she is and how she gives up - she beat Pegula from match point down. And no professional tennis player in the top 500 is 'useless', let alone the top 805 -

She had lost 3 games in a row in the 2nd set and was 3-0 down.
After the trainer came on stopping the game the form reversed with Emma then winning I think the next 4 games and eventually the set and match (and yes I was watching).1 -
