Rogers Cup 2022, Montreal, Canada - ATP Masters 1000

[Moxie]

That's two consecutive weeks Big Foe has given 2 winnable matches away. Not to mention that epic collapse he had against Korda earlier on the clay. Like Iga, he needs to start working w/ a traveling shrink.

I agree. He has made inroads in terms of getting himself into a winning position, in the draw, but, under duress, he starts just hitting hard and harder, with no Plan B.

I am just happy that Sinner won his match after losing the 1st set. Seriously though, he’s got to serve a higher 1st serve percentage. 53% against Mannarino is just bad.

So is it safe to say that if Tits loses early we can have a first time masters winner? Is there anyone left that I've forgotten about?

Cilic, Hurkacz, Fritz and Norrie are all 1-time M1000 champions.

Lackluster wins except by Fritz who defeated Rafa IIRC! The Big 3 still dominate even when & if they aren't playing! It's still a sad state of affairs!

OK. So I forgot a handful.

By the way, which one did cough drop win?

Yes Marin won against KK earlier

I meant which M1000 did he win?

Oops let me check

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Cilic won 2016 Cincinnati Masters his only Masters win to date

 

[kskate2]

Where is this Draper kid from? Is he from Brit, Aus or someplace else?

He just nabbed the opener from Perseus 7-5

Aha. So he is going to a place like the USO where he has fond memories.

Draper is English just watched the last set, geez another top seed upset in the making

This dude is a tree like Iznah and Reilly

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The young Englishman Draper is keeping The Young Greek honest on serve in the 2nd set, The Young Greek having some trouble handling Draper's serve being a lefty and The Young Greek's fhand has been wild at times

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Draper and The Young Greek will go to a t/break now for the 2nd set
Draper winning the 1st set 75

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to the young Englishman Draper a Qualifer, his first win against a Top 10 player defeats The Young Greek No 3, 75 76(4)
Another Top seed No 3, falls by the wayside in Montreal!

 

[Fiero425]

Some might call it KARMA Tsitsipas going out after earlier trying to hit Draper with a "sitter!" What an idiot! I thought he would do well and go far, but like all the other NG'rs of his era, he can't finish! He has all the skill needed, but in his head there are scrambled eggs!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Nick K is guaranteed a USO seeding when he plays and if he defeats fellow Aussue Alex de Minaur

 

[Fiero425]

Upsets Galore: I hadn't heard Carlos lost to Tommy Paul! OMG, WTF? He's supposed to be the next #1 after The Big 3 bow out!
