According to Live WTA Ranking, Bianca jumps to #14 in WTA rankings as of tomorrow.


Andreescu displays limitless potential with historic Rogers Cup win - Sportsnet.ca

Tennis Canada has hit a goldmine since Milos came onto the scene.

If anyone remembers Canadian tennis on the singles platform in the 90s, all the way to about 2010, it was beyond pathetic.

FAA, and bianca have very elite potential. Then you still have shapo, and Milos if he can ever figure out his physical ailments.

I'm probably missing some names as well.

Don't forget about Leylah Annie Fernandez who is only 16 years old.

So, Bichette went hitless for two games over the weekend and is trying to make up for it tonight it seems. 4 hits so far, including two doubles. :eek:

The GB-OAK pre-season game in Winnipeg had a disaster written all over it even prior to the ball being snapped, but the "spectacle" somehow managed to get even worse.

It was a blatant scam to begin with, and I hope John Graham gets hit hard for the magnificent failure that it turned out to be.

No one cares
If only we all had Andrew’s Luck — we’d be set for life.

He's not the first one and won't be the last one. This one is going to have a lot more publicity because of timing and he's a star QB.

Bichette is continuing to rake. Two more hits tonight, including a HR.

Of 25 games he's played in the majors thus far, he has reached base at least once in 22 of them.

Fun game in SEA tonight. I always circle when the Jays visit that city in my calendar.
 

the valiant effort

settle down, bud

It still seems like Luck is (was) the next young one, yet he's a soon-to-be 30 year-old 7-year veteran lol

Too bad for the guy

Not a shocker relatively speaking.

The Colts have been a dysfunctional franchise for years when it came to understanding they have to protect their QBs. It went all the way back to Peyton's years there, but the dude was great enough to mask that. Their offensive lines (the lack of running game also contributes to this to be fair) during Luck's early years have been truly atrocious and they refused to fix that until 2018. And it was a little too late is seems by then. Look at how many sacks Luck has taken between 2012-2016. It's ridiculous.

Luck is a generational QB. It's just too bad the Mickey Mouse Colts franchise failed to surround him properly leading to all those injuries that limited his potential. Look what happened when they finally did last season - he was incredible. It's tragic he had to retire after a season like that.

Third hit of the night for Bo - an RBI double!

He's a triple away from hitting for a cycle. :P

Opposing pitchers are well aware of what kinda hitter Bichette is by now so they are feeding him more and more off-speed pitches. Yet his hand-eye coordination is so amazing that it doesn't seem to matter.

Bichette looks like a superstar in the making.
