CANADIAN MASTERS 2013 MONTREAL 2-11 August

[Murat Baslamisli]

Tipsy is playing like a guy who has achieved everything he set out to accomplish and he is content and this is his farewell tour this year. Where is the fire, the screams, the passion?

 

[Riotbeard]

He is definitely in a pretty bad slump.

 

[Riotbeard]

Pathetic

Horrid display from Tanko. He will fall out of the top 20.

Tipsy played some great matches in these masters before today,as said Pathetic from him.

Watching Tipsy vs Istomin. Very yellow vs very red. On serve, 1 all, 1st set.

That is not red what Istomin was wearing, actually one of the colors of the season in men fashion, coral. You see shirts, t-shirts, shorts even denim jeans in that color in any store this summer (paler version though, not as bright).

I give Denis's sponsor a 10, being up to date as far as fashion is concerned. Also Tipsy was very coordinated as far as coloring, his shades matched perfectly his lemon yellow shirt. Unfortunately that was the only positive thing I can say about Janko tonight. There is a "blah" ness in his game, to quote our commentator who captured well where his game is at the moment.

He looks like he's burned out, hard to understand really. He was an underperformer until 27y, then he took a leap bringing him into the top 10 which he was able to sustain for well over a year, playing well week in and week out.
Now he is playing like he doesn't care anymore.

Polansky takes the first set from Nishikori with some nice shotmaking. Levine also through, beating Malisse. Not too shabby for Canada so far.

 

[kskate2]

Nishikori brain cramps on a volley and then DF the set away. Yikes!

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

oh dear did Tanko Quitsarevic lose again ??..:snigger

..oh isn't that the shame, what a pity. :laydownlaughing

Good for Jesse Levine! I hope I picked him in my draw challenge.

Nishikori consolidates his break in the 2nd, holding to go 4-2. Hopefully he's waking up and will take the second and third.

fillip pwelio who won a couple of junior majors last year and was on tt for a while..has a wildcard here I think ??.

 

[Moxie]

Hiya, nehmeth!

 

[nehmeth]

Nishi breaks the Canadian in the first game of the third. I always worry about whether this diminutive player can stay healthy, but he sure is fun to watch when he plays well.

Welcome back! I never saw this Polansky before. He's entertaining, but Nishikori is just better. He has had injury issues this year, but hopefully he's back on track.

Well, the only colourful thing about that match was their shirts.

Is it raining in Montreal? Why no match is in play?
