Johanna Konta making her signature move, the elegantly exaggerated pre-serve ball bounce. If she keeps rising up the rankings, will she start a trend?

Victoria Azarenka, in action against Konta, was even more intense than normal, which is saying something. She needed to be, because she wasn't hitting the ball that well in the wind to start.

Simon showed us his teeth, but couldn't show his best tennis over the last two sets.

But like many of his fellow ATPers, Simon remains a threat in his 30s.

The ever-impassive Goffin was excited enough by the win that even he cracked a semblance of a smile.

"It was a really bad night," Keys said. She made almost as many unforced errors (39) and she won points (43). But she and coach Jesse Levine still managed a smile.
