This was only Camila's second win in Rome. She always had pressure playing in her home country of Italy. It took her almost 9 years to get this win again in Rome.

Hands up if you’ve ever heard of Fabian Moroszan? Hmm, don’t see any hands. Well today he beat Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. One of the biggest upsets I can ever recall.

This is Carlito's first sojourn in Rome, the warm up to the French Open. Marozsan is seeded 135 in the world.

Pigeons are goofy birds, Rome is over-run with them.

After two-time defending champion Iga Swiatek won her 14th straight Internazionali BNL d'Italia match to set a quarterfinal meeting with Elena Rybakina, both rivals played down their expectations.

Big upset, just got in. I regret missing it.

If his hip injury is aggravating his leg muscles, Rafa may need hip replacement surgery. He's going to be 38 during The French Open, doubt he could make a comeback.

Leggy Supermodel vs Sweet Girl, this one I'm looking forward to.

Rune vs Alcaraz should be good for the next decade or so

Second (different) doping charge against Simona Halep. Shame

I didn't expect Leggy Supermodel to be this good on clay so quickly. She will be the new No. 1 going into the US Open. Belorussian Amazon lost in the opening round to Sophia Kenin. Leggy Supermodel will be tough to beat on any surface going forward.

Leggy will turn 24 during the French Open.

David Letterman coined the phrase "Leggy Supermodel", he's also a tennis fan. I don't believe he's seen his catchphrase take human form yet.
