Fell asleep during the final set. But Shapovalov lost that set 6-3. He is eliminated from the tournament.

Great run for the kid and he is one of the most fun players to watch.

Consistancy is all he really lacks at this point. He tends to go through stretches in most of his matches where he can't hit his shots at all and he tries to fight it by overcompensating, which just makes it worst. Once he irons this out he'll be golden.

Yup. Has some kinks in his game to iron out. But he has already improved in areas he needed to work on since he joined the ATP.

He had so many double faults last night, those were free points he gave to Busta. I just checked, he had 11 double faults. Busta only had 1.

But if he keeps working on his consistency and maybe channel his frustrations in more advantageous ways, he will be a contender every tournament.

It's amazing that he's gotten so much better the last few years and he is still only 21.

I was shitting buckets last 5 minutes of the 4th when Boston kept dropping those 3’s. I was pissed AF start of the second overtime also when we blew two possessions.

But, these guys are warriors and fought through it. On to game 7, but sucks they made it a 9pm start time.

Osaka is off the US Open Women's Final. Big fan of hers.

Up next is Williams vs. Azareka. If Williams wins, it will be a rematch of the 2018 Final. Osaka won after Serena's epic outburst, smashing her racket and getting multiple code violations and she went off on the umpire.
