Polmans showed his nerve to save four set points in his next service game and force a tie-break that the Chilean quickly seized control of.

The only Australian male to win a set in the first round, his loss ends the country's singles representation at the tournament after Daria Gavrilova and Astra Sharma both lost their second-round matches on Wednesday.Both players are the only ones in the Open Era to record 70 wins at each grand slam tournament.

Very similar to my face when I'm pushing seed.

Haven’t seen a legionaries hat since primary school! Shame about the result though.

don't need to know what he got up to before the match thanks

It may be the lateness of the hour, but I find that wording slightly unfortunate.

Australia's sporting codes commit to inclusion of trans and gender diverse athletesThe coalition includes the AFL, Netball Australia, Hockey Australia, Rugby Australia, Tennis Australia, Touch Football Australia, UniSport Australia and Water... Australian women and girls have just lost the right to choose to compete in female only sports. Men can now choose to play in either men’s competition or women’s. This is grossly unfair, unsafe and against women’s rights. Shameful decision. Well isn't that just fantastic. I for one will sleep better tonight in the knowledge that women's sports will forever be dominated by men from now on. Why can’t the sporting bodies advocate for trans sports? Pretty sure we’d all support that, now we just see ppl don’t care about women’s sports so who cares if it’s fair or not? Great msg for women and young girls.

Biden gets 'mentally lost’ when affected by Trump: body language expert | Sky News AustraliaDuring the first US presidential debate, Joe Biden got mentally lost after being affected by Donald Trump’s interjections, according to body language expert Dr Louise Mahler.\n\nIt comes after following the first US presidential debate, a heated exchange between Donald Trump and Joe Biden about coronavirus, race relations and election integrity.\n\n“There are two techniques that he (Joe Biden) uses as memory techniques,” Dr Mahler told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nDr Mahler said the first of Biden’s memory techniques is to “constantly make lists”, while the other is to have “rehearsed answers”.\n\n“When he (Biden) was asked why he should be chosen as the president, he goes through a list … he never got through that list before Trump interrupted him and he then was lost in his train of thought.\n\n“Mentally he gets lost by closing his eyes and he’s affected by Trump, and then he goes onto Trump’s train of thought.”\n JoeBiden realDonaldTrump That's Trumps tactic which he has probably used since way back. But it would be better if Trump's opponent could handle him. A special ed teacher might do it! Or his father or his drug dealer. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump That's ridiculous. All Trump did was talk over the top of Biden when he didn't like what Biden was about to say. Chris Wallace didn't even get a damn word in JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Biden cannot mentally handle life...
