Glad we got the theatrics out of the way in the first round so Fed can concentrate on crushing everyone into dust.

I am surprised Dolgopolov hasn't been banned for that obvious fixed match a few weeks ago.

Now rather than covering the event properly, TSN is going to put him on all their loving channels.

What's wrong with the guy? I only know he's 18 and just beat Tsonga.

Shapovalov's claim to fame is he once gave the umpire a black eye.

Fed drops the 2nd set to Youzhny in a tiebreak after winning the first 6-1.

Fed is 16-0 against Youzhny.

Did he expend too much energy in his 1R match? It's looking that way.

If Federer goes out here that'll be all four finalists from Montreal/Cinci out before the third round on the men's side, which is a little lame.

Two of those were Kyrgios (who recently retired in three tournaments in a row) and Dimitrov (lol).

The only real shock is Zverev going out.

They're certainly not the most dependable players but they were both in very good form coming in, particularly Dimitrov, and both have gone deep in majors before (unlike Zverev). Not the biggest shock but still kind of disappointing. I suppose it's just a sign of the depleted field when I'm expecting those two to go far, though.

Life, friends, is boring
Roger will retire after this tournament, so he takes it all in and plays as many sets as possible.

edit:

I love these WTA "upsets":

quote:

Another seeded player will not be continuing here. Jennifer Brady upset No. 23-seeded Barbora Strycova in dominant fashion on the Grandstand.

“I came out with lots of energy and I played her before, so I knew what to expect,” Brady said of the 6-1, 6-1 victory in an on-court interview.

That's more like a massacre.

Clearly developed over a long career of using 5 set matches on the Big Stage to get fitter as time goes on.

Unlike being deep underground in a Serbian mad scientist's lair eating EPO doped vegetables or literally drinking the tap water in any Spanish training ground for any sport, ever.

Some nice matches on the women's side in the 4th round, on paper at least. Kvitova v Muguruza should hopefully be good if Petra plays the way she did today, and Georges v Sloane as well, both of them playing great and are legitimate dark horses.

Goerges is a servebot who doesn't even have that good of a serve. Sloane should wipe the floor with her.

I'd love Sloane to win but Goerges has had a good season and she looked very composed today. I wish I shared your confidence but to me that looks nailed on to go the distance.
