Rogers Cup 2023, Toronto, Canada - ATP Masters 1000

[PhiEaglesfan712]

And in Canada. I'm very worried for Felix. Max Purcell...really? Felix is about to become that aging prodigy/unfulfilled talent.

I said at this time last year that we would get definitive answer on the direction of Felix's career. Felix's results this year have convinced me that he just doesn't have what it takes. We usually know by 22, and definitively by 23, whether a prodigy is going to take that next step and fulfill the talent. This is why I say the same thing for Jannik Sinner now. I am almost 100% sure that 12 months from now, Sinner either will have won a slam or at least something of note, or he will have taken a huge step back and lost ground against the younger players (Rune, etc).

All it takes is a big run at Cincinnati to turn it around just as it did last year post USO when Felix won three titles in the early Fall that really built up his confidence.

They put hair dude first on at Court 1. He must didn't appreciate that because he was shown the door in straights by Mackie.

Poo is back with the Young Greek and unfortunately I'm not referring to the great childhood favorite Winnie.

It must be a G thang!

Mackie really took it to the big hair dude who looked like he was facing his Barber for the first time..yep he was shown the door to the road to Cincy

Rublev always does well in Cincinnati,but he likes to cry a lot during this part of the season.

That’s it — Monfils beats Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-3

Tsitispas needs to get rid of his poo again!

This is something we'll have to get accustommed! It's amazing how a player will make a final & even win, but the next event they're beat early!

 

[Jelenafan]

My bold bash prediction is that two Italians will reach the round of 16.

Stefano just made things difficult with this 1st round exit, he has Masters finalist points (600) to defend at Cincy. Gives the Scandinavians Ru’s an opening for that coveted 4th seed at Flushing Meadows.

Probably not a good idea to throw everything in for a 250 in Chimichanga land. Probably more Holger than Ruud w/ a chance. If I'm not mistaken, the Ghost reached the Canada final last year

Another clown prince is about to bite the dust, Fokina is serving for the match.

The same thing happened to Novak trying to make the 2022 YEC w/ limited pts! He won Astana & Tel Aviv only to drop Paris Masters' final to Rune!

I hate to burst your bubble, but that has close to 0% chance of happening.

This one can go,just cannot stand him.

And I hate to burst yours. It's no more improbable than Foe winning a M1000 or the USO last year, this year and likely not even next year.

 

[Fiero425]

Sinner just finished off his countryman, Matteo B.! Is it my imagination or is Jannick's legs even skinnier than usual? He's looks breakable! My arms are probably thicker than his thighs! Matteo not sporting any extra weight either!

 

[Moxie]

Well, one of those Italians had to lose. I'm glad to see Sinner playing well, but Matteo is still lacking in form and confidence to make those big shots work. Hoping he finds it by the USO.
