Rogers Cup 2023, Toronto, Canada - ATP Masters 1000

Finally Carlos holds!

It is black & white. Behavior is either good or not. His tonight is not, be it Spanish, English or whatever language. Tossing racquets and public barking is never good. I'm sure it will be pointed out to him later and he'll have to answer for it whether it's the media or his own team. Not that it means much, but he especially doesn't get a pass from me.

That's precisely why I say it's NOT black& white. I don't consider barking--if not regular and constant behavior--to be necessarily bad behavior--I think it shows honest emotion--which makes someone more genuine in my book...

Look people can be genuine or not. They can show emotion, that doesn't mean it's good. He's a role model now. Kids look up to him. His behavior, especially in public should always reflect his audience. It's part of the price he pays for this stardom. Besides, who wants to hear all that chirping. I know I don't. There's nothing enjoyable about watching Murray and others constantly berating their box because they're getting bossed on the court. You're not always going to have it your way.

Tommy up 5-2. He's writing another big result in the history books if he can win one more game

Great win for Paul. Well, Alcaraz looked ready for a loss, but good time to let off the steam-valve.

Really should have lost last night, but as AP says Hubi doesn't have the stones to do the job. Apparently Tommy is sporting some gigantic ones.

W/ Chuck exiting the building, someone will win their maiden M1000 title.

I agree with Roberto that it's not black & white. Personally, I don't mind Murray's chirping. It's at his own box, or at himself, and he's otherwise a very good role model. As to general purposes, I don't mind the odd outburst if it's not habitual, out of the ordinary, or directed at others, which includes the crowd and the chair umpire. As to Alcaraz, he's generally a well-behaved player and a gentlemanly presence on court. He did break a racquet today. I will forgive him, as long as he doesn't make a habit of it.

Oh well I had to go to the chiropractor for my back and saw the finals score on my phone, Charly was out of sorts from his previous match and well done Tommy Paul who seems to have the wood on Charly in Canada

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Come on to my String Bean Italian time this is an excellent opportunity for you to win your 1st Masters 1000 title , Jannik Forza!

 

[Moxie]

Sloppy game from Sinner gets the 2nd set back on serve.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik WTH broken another poor service game and Monfils will serve for the 2nd set 5-4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Going 3 sets now Monfils won 2nd set 64,

 

[Moxie]

Monfils just aced his way into a 3rd set.

Monfils just aced his way into a 3rd set.

Too good Gael, Jannik continues with poor service games he will pay for it and end up losing this match

I just want to say this: Absolutely NO EXCUSES from Sinner not to win his maiden M1000 title here this weekend. Two of his biggest nemesis are out (Alcaraz and Medvedev) and he received a walkover so he should be physically fresh!

Also, he will more than likely not face a Top 10 player this week, so he should definitely win the title here, no darn excuses!

Then it's a matter of preference and opinion. Which is fine. You & Roberto like all that noise. I can do w/o it.

I Co Sign, he has an excellent chance to win his first Masters 1000, agree No Excuses!

Yes, it's a matter of taste, as long as you don't see it as hinderance. I wouldn't say I "like" the grunting or shrieking...I simply don't mind it. I accept it as part of process. It's never bothered me when I watch a match in person. And when I watch I home, I have a volume control on my tv, which I'm sure yours does, too.

Absolutely. Opportunity laid at his doorstep. I'd love to see him seize it.
