Anyone watching Shapo right now?

Missed the match, but glad to see he won in 5. Anderson will be a tough one, he's playing the best tennis of his career, but I think Shapovalov has some of the best upside of all the young guns I've seen on tour. Just glad I don't have to play in that heat, sheesh.

isn't that what the off topic thread is for?

He needs to learn to control his emotions. He could've won the match earlier, but he got into his own head a bit.

I’ll say this: Canadian tennis is really evolving. Years ago I remember Frank Dancevic was the number 1 ranked Canadian player and he was ranked like 94 in the world. Nestor tears it up in doubles, Raonic I believe is in the top 20, and we have two up-and-coming young stars in Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime. Canadian tennis is looking good.

I’m not a tennis fan at all, but it’s good to see they’re doing well. What ever became Canada’s Darling? I had a bit of crush on her in the day.

Felix is a beast. I hope that heart thing is not going to ruin his career, but he has a lot of raw skill and power.

Playing this afternoon, she seems to have matured a bit.

Genie comes across as a player whose heart and head doesn't seem to be too much into the sport any more.

Stuff like this can make a lot of money and she knows it. I follow her on Twitter and I hate tennis.

 

[Anthrax442]

Well, she lost today. What a surprise

It all looked so promising in the beginning.

She found going further in the tournament costs her Instagram time

 

[nsleaf]

High expectations for EB,that didn't pan out, so far anyway. She was hyped up to be better than her results have shown. Hope this don't happen to a certain hockey club we all support.
