That was remarkable work. I remember everyone saying where was this BH before when he needed it.

Rafa was a good example of exposing his bhand before Luby fixed 'the shanking"

Hearing that Holger Rune is done with Nike.Look for a new sponsor to debut at the US Open potentially.

There's a multitude of clothing companies. Who's his agent/manager? That's their job not his.

Ivan Ljubicic ( Federer's former coach) would be a good choice for Tsitsipas, he also lives in MC where Stef lives
'AP, suggested to me he thinks Boris Becker would be a good coach for Stef
Help me if he gets Mark P to coach him again, he did nothing for Stef's game when he was coaching him previously
Also Patrick M is available seeing he and Rune have parted. Patrick M has a 'potty mouth' and loves to take the limelight away from the players he coaches and make it "all about himself" eg when he was coaching Serena Williams.

He's already had PM when he trained at Patrick's academy. Remember when he played in the RG final? PM was there. I'd like to see him w/ someone new, either Lub, Goran or Becker.

The Greek god really lashed out at his father/coach after the loss. Yikes!

Apparently it took losing to the glass Samurai before realizing a change is needed.

Thanks I forgot, I have to agree with Don Fabio, Luby can help Stef with his bhand, like he hepled Roger with his shanking of his bhand

I was just about to correct that statement, as Holger Rune came on social media and said he was very happy with Nike, as some of the tennis websites were saying Rune was unhappy with Nike eg Tennis Connected, they need to check facts before posting.Thanks to Rune who is often on social media came on to correct their statements.

Finally better playing conditions in Montreal today, as yesterdays playing schedule cancelled, some players will have to do 'double duty"

Korda d Fritz 64 76(4)
7 consecutive wins for Korda
3rd top 20 win of 2024
Hitting the ball extremely well.

Rublev d Nakashima 62 62
Rublev is into his 9th QF of the year
Huge groundstrokes, playing within himself
Rublev is begining to look more like the Rublev we are used to seeing.
BTW Rublev has now reached the QFs or better of all 9 Masters 1000 events.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

A few weeks ago Hurkacz had knee surgery and his doctors advised him his season was over, doing rehab Hurkacz decided to play Montreal
Hurkacz d Kokkinakis 46 63 76(6) Hubi is into R3

Nishikori secures his spot in a Masters 1000 QF for the first time since Rome 2019 defeating Borges 63 64

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pleasing stat,
Jannik Sinner has made the QFs at all "Tern" events that he's played in 2024!.First male to so since Djokovic in 2015. ( of course I hope I havent jinxed him
44 wins
4 losses this season
Win rate at 91.7%
Sinner d Tabilo 64 63

 

[lomaha]

I see that the match between Ruud and Korda is cancelled. Who pulled out?

 

[kskate2]

looks like Casper ghosted Montreal

 

[lomaha]

looks like Casper ghosted Montreal

Yeah just saw that.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud has some type of illness reason he withdrew, virus, he also withdrew yesterday in his doubles match
Fritz was coughing a lot in his match earlier against Korda,
Maybe there is something going around at Montreal ( virus)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik Sinner has qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin
The first man to qualify so far this year
Jannik Forza!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good win for Aussie Alexi Popyrin, on his best surface hard court, defeating Dimitrov (7) 46 76(5) 63

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Draw is now out for the Mens Masters 1000 in Cinncinati

 

[kskate2]

Jannik Sinner has qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin
The first man to qualify so far this year
Jannik Forza!

And Charlie hasn't? He owns 2 slams and IW

 

[El Dude]

I don't really get the ATP finals qualification cut, as usually only a few guys actually reach that many points in a year (6475 this year) and the #8 guy tends to be in the 3500 range. Maybe it is automatic qualification? Not sure what the point is.

Carlos (5960) could lose every match he plays for the rest of the year and he'd make it - same with Sinner (6410), Zverev (5325), and probably Medvedev (4020)

That was the news I received from the ATP website I can double check again
It stated that Sinner achieved this by making the QFs at Montreal,
Alcaraz is in 2nd place in the ATP Live race to the finals in Turin
Sinner 6.400 poits, 450 clear of Alcaraz
