Before I could get my act together, a top 8 seed is gone in the form of Kerbie's upset.
What upsets do you see coming on Monday?

Watched Wozniacki loose against Kudermetova. Chatrier was empty, I guess too early and almost no one bothered coming before Rafa starts.

First time watched the russian girl. She has a game, solid from all sides. This is the beaty of the grand slam, there is always so much going on in both ATP and WTA and every day brings some upsets.

Sasnovich seeded 32 went out in 3 sets to Hercog. It was carried over from yesterday's darkness.

I've seen her before that's why I thought it would be a popcorn match. Didn't expect Woz to lose it though.

not likely. Even if it goes 3 Serena will find a way to get out of R1

Diatchenko currently on fire, but Serena will probably switch to a higher gear in the 2nd set. Still a very interesting match.

You mentioned bad outfits on the men's tread, but have to agree that outfits are boring these days. I don't intend to turn this into a fashion talk, just can't resist to mention that Serena's outfit this year is way better than the last :)

Now she is speeding up, 3:0 in the 2nd.

I would not call Berten's retirement a upset she fell ill to a virus.If her opponent had beaten her without the retirement due to illness that would be a 'upset'.Kiki had the trainer on court,she felt shaky and had no power at all.She woke up vomiting,etc though decided to play the match according to her press conference.

Not sure late seeded players losing to unseeded is much of an upset in some of these...

Anyways Kasatkina (21) lost to Puig, Garcia (24) lost to Blinkova, Hsieh (25) lost to Petkovic

I think they’re worth noting, since they are seeded, even though they’re not huge upsets.

Women's seeds are dropping down like flies. I don't follow WTA that much like ATP, but maybe some expert can tell is this more or less than usual. It does feel like more to me.

Sakkari lost to Siniakova also, making it a tally of 6 today, so far.
