Lincoln you look right now via tennis. Abstract arena sample lenka in eighty point seven percent favored in that match. She's minus four fifty in the early oddsmakers According to the early oddsmakers yeah. She's the favorite and if she you know she's someone who i think takes lumps to learn lessons.

But that's where things stand on the women's side to flip gears and and talk about where we are at on the men's side or should be Again a really really good event in you look Good event good semi-final matchup. You look no surprise to anyone. Neil medvedev advancing to those semifinals. But for him you know. Here's a four set. Victory over boat. Vince in scope ultimately six three six love. Four six seven five. I was surprised to see him. Drop that third set. I won't mind you look for medvedev overall in the side. I don't think it was anything. He did poorly. I think both dick stepped up his game and he went down swinging. But you look for medvedev over the course course of the match. It was just a medvedev.
