Schwartzman-Thiem is pretty entertaining.

 

[Niraj]

Schwartzman was down 2-5, ended up winning 7-5 lol. Saved three, maybe four match points I think.

 

[Kotetsu534]

The second set had some exceptional tennis. Proper crowd on their feet stuff. Shame on me though: I gave up on it when Thiem broke in the third.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Are all Schwartzmans 5'7"? You got Diego, you got Jason....

Can't blame you, Diego looked totally gassed at that point.

Murray withdrew from Cincinnati too. Wonder if he's just going to call it quits for the rest of the year at this rate.

Crazy year if true.

We should all just pretend this year never happened.

 

[Ricker]

lol,Federer didnt want to bagel Polansky,gave him all the chances in the world...

''Do you want to challenge that, he told him,I know I would''

 

[Omzz]

Tennis is alive again, unfortunately some had to be sacrificed

 

[Sax Russel]

Jeez Nishikori blowing that tiebreak was painful to watch, but Monfils hit some nice winners.

 

[Niraj]

Nah.


Nishikori served for the match in the second set, served for the match in the third set, and had four match points in the third set tiebreak and still lost. Pretty impressive.

 

[VistraNorrez]

Early 30s are rough. The trend might be to take the year off of your 30th Bday.

 

[BorkBork]

Go Monfils!

how do you explain all the glass cannons still under 30 though? haha

 

[perfectchaos007]

Shapovalov!!!

 

[Ricker]

Shapovalov!!!

Yes!!!!!!! the kid did it,great poise for the 18 year old...that serv kicking out fooled Del Potro a lot.

 

[Niraj]

Mannarino or Chung will be a quarterfinalist. Nice opportunity.

 

[Niraj]

Bizarre end to the Tsonga-Querrey match. Tsonga was up 30-0 at 4-5 then lost 4 consecutive points out of nowhere. Total gift.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Raonic out. He can't stay healthy.

 

[sam12]

Roger about to play!

 

[Sax Russel]

Fed looks like he's stayed late at too many Coldplay concerts =P

 

[Niraj]

Fed looks like he's stayed late at too many Coldplay concerts =P

lol. He looks pretty bad so far.

 

[RedAssedApe]

who are these two mid-30 year old dudes on the court

 

[Niraj]

Sigh

 

[John Dunbar]

federer's streak of 31 or 32 sets ends.

 

[Niraj]

It's kind of remarkable that Fed and Ferrer have played so many times, yet never in a slam.

 

[Ricker]

C'mon Roger...everyone in Montreal wants a Federer/Shapovalov final... ;P

 

[John Dunbar]

the audio of my stream is perfectly delayed so that ferrer's grunts are timed with federer's shots. disgusting yet intriguing. clearly demonstrates that tennis is superior when it's silent.

 

[Ricker]

And 17-0 against Ferrer...jesus lol.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Federer found his groove in the second half of the match. When you have beaten someone 16 times in a row, sometimes its hard to find your best effort.

 

[Milchmann]

And 17-0 against Ferrer...jesus lol.

Ferrer is no Vitas Gerulaitis.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Ferrer is no Vitas Gerulaitis.

I was going to make that reference...

 

[Ricker]

Ferrer is no Vitas Gerulaitis.

Damn,just looked that up...

"And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row."
– after defeating Jimmy Connors at the January 1980 Masters. Gerulaitis had lost their previous 16 matches....


Poor guy died of a freak accident at 40.

Yep just read his wikipedia page. Its a shame that still to this day so many people die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Kerber falls to 24-16 for the year after getting wrecked by Sloane Stephens today 6-2, 6-2. She's still somehow the #3 player in the world.

 

[Niraj]

Damn, Anderson crushed Querrey. Nice to see Anderson back to playing solidly.

 

[Niraj]

Shapovalov just took Nadal to a third set

 

[Omzz]

Go shapovalov

 

[Niraj]

That was a tough hold

 

[perfectchaos007]

Shapovalov will be the real deal. And Canada actually has a couple kids younger than him who may be better. Team Canada is looking to be in good shape

 

[Niraj]

6-5, Nadal serving to stay in the match. Think it's probably going to a tiebreak.

 

[Omzz]

Damn shapo

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Just tuned in. Heck of a game by Shapovalov to go up 6-5.

Edit: okay routine hold by Nadal, tiebreaker time.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Double match point for Shapovalov

 

[clemenx]

Great game. Good for the kid to get known for somehting other than hitting an umpire lol.

Such a great attitude he had the whole match.

 

[Niraj]

WOW

expected him to fold after going down 0-3

 

[Omzz]

Wow, dude has strength for an 18 year old

 

[Gotdatmoney]

God damn Shapovalov wow.

 

[Ricker]

And the crowd goes wild....what a match for Shapo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
