Medical timeout

So far, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (6.5/10, recently upgraded from 6/10) isn't doing great in her French Open final against Barbora Krejcikova (6.5/10) and is just finishing a medical timeout featuring a live groin massage and thigh bandaging.


After winning the first set she then let Krejcikova win the next six to take the first set, in a bit of a gongshow match. The timekeeper hasn't kept time properly, ushers have let people into their box seats between points, and linesmen have been changing their initial rulings more often it seems than they've been keeping them.

So far Pavlyuchenkova is winning 5-2 in the second set, but at this point the Viking Classic in England and the BETT1OPEN in Germany are the things I'm most interested in.
