Content warning: This story includes references to suicidal ideation.Lisa Schrenk didn’t know it yet, as she trudged down a dirt trail last August, but her life was about to change.She’d set out late the night before with her hiking group, scrambling up Virginia’s Old Rag Mountain in darkness. They reached the peak in time to watch the sun rise over the Blue Ridge range. Afterward, the women snapped photos. In one, Schrenk gazes out over the horizon, her long dark hair pulled into a ponytail. The image is deceptively triumphant. In reality, she had been contemplating suicide. Schrenk, a longtime…

I’d be a little surprised if it’s the American still standing at the end of that – I think the other two move too well for him – which is also why I think they’d give Zverev, the probable semi-final opponent, a harder time. But that’s a long way off; so far, Blanch is doing well, down 2-3 on serve in the first.ShareYeah, Comesana has gone – or at least he’s gone in this set, broken again by Cobolli, who then…
