That was as good as Ive seen her play since Wimbledon 2017.

Call me crazy but if she brings that level to the court every match now she will be very very difficult to beat. She could win it!

Hmm, well she hasnt really been tested yet I would say. I saw some of Petra Martic against Pliskova and I would say that was altogether a different level. Not to say she hasnt been playing excellently, but others are perhaps even more so ?

Yes, Jo still needs to meet some tougher competition. Not quite Osaka vs Azarenka in the second round!

Well up until this point it didn't matter who Jo got because she had never made it passed R1!

Also, Ostapenko never won a (singles, women's) match at RG other than her title run....

So, Johanna has now reached the second week/last 16, of each of the 4 majors.
Again, well done.

Naomi Osaka has lost in R3, 6-4 6-2 to Katerina Siniakova.

She will remain WR 1 after the French Open, possibly still by a distance on 6486 points.

With live # 2, 3, 4 & 5 ( Pliskova, Bertens, Kvitova and Kerber ) also out or never started, live #6 Barty ( playing later today ) is the only player who could get close, on 6350 points if she was to win the title.

Halep is through so, with Stephens winning yesterday, last year's two finalists are through to the L16.

Looking at OER live rankings, Jo is at 21 - she could finish anywhere from 8 if all the results went her way (which I doubt is possible anyway), or could be overtaken by any of the 12 players below her who are left in. Too early to say really !

PS Iga just recovered from a bagel to beat Puig

Swiatek best Puig 0-6 6-3 6-3. Plays Halep in the L16.

Only half complete, but qualifier Bolsova is halfway to securing her place in the last 16 - her draw did massively open up with Petra withdrawing and a LL coming in, but still a great achievement even getting to where she has in her first slam main draw. Could have progressed even further but she went over her ankle against Diatchenko at either Glasgow or Shrewsbury earlier in the year and had over a month out. I was thinking Naiktha's win over her (recovered from a bagel) in the W60 a couple of weeks ago went under the radar on here, but it's looking even more impressive now.

Four Americans. Including some young stars. They must be pleased. And two Czechs. And two Spaniards (one with Moldovan parents). And Jo !!!!

Two interesting tweets by Mike Dickson.

Serena may choose to play Birmingham or eastbourne ( her own words) and swiatek is coached by nick brown. He was a top player from Cheshire when I was young, unless I'm confused he must be 60 now? Used to watch him at ilkley, good grass player as well
