The first came in the fifth game of the first set with Sonego having a vehement reaction in this case. Below the highlights of the day-7: About the women tournament, great victory for Jessica Pegula who is one step away from the abyss, cancels two match points on her opponent's serve and then closes the match at the decisive tiebreak, against the Russian Potapova.
