Come, come , you've really stiffed that prediction
Peniston looks shot, tbh, as he can't get to grips with Johnson's groundstrokes.

Iffy start from Emma. Broken in her first service game.
But breaks straight back again. She is not on her game so far though.

Garcia is a very dangerous player. Her return is top notch being a doubles specialist. Expect many breaks of serve.

As opposed to Isner v Murray where any break of serve will be a surprise!

Emma loses first set 3-6.
The crowd are so quiet. It's like a library.
Caroline Garcia has got so much experience. I don't know if Emma's got the fight today to win. We will see.
I think Murray will eventually read Isner's serve. He is huge - nearly 6ft 6'!
Could be a great match - maybe not three days like Isner v Mahut!

He's not 6 ft 6. He's 6 ft 10! McEnroe reckons he is the best server ever to play the game. Shame the rest of his game is average otherwise he would be unbeatable and would have won more majors than anyone. Murray will beat him though.

The other players have sussed her out a bit plus she has not really played that much and had lots of niggly injuries. She is off to Uni in September I think.
Too many changes of coach.
I'd imagine she's a nightmare to train. "I won the US Open, not you".

When I've seen her interviewed just got the impression she may be high maintenance.
Not all that surprising, it's her first year of the tour and it's common for players to pick up a lot of niggles and struggle to find form. The strange thing was her winning the US Open in the first place. She's only 19, and a lot of the more sensible tennis pundits said after her grand slam win that we shouldn't expect her to excel consistently straight after.
It's like if an unknown 19 year old footballer was the surprise top scorer in the world cup, then failed to set the Premier League alight in his first senior season afterwards, with a few injuries. You wouldn't just disregard him completely following that.
Give her a few years and then we'll see if she has what it takes to consistently challenge at the top.
