Oh man, Musetti breaks to take the title. A very shaky service game from Carlitos at 4-5 and Lorenzo wins it on his 6th championship point.

This is so cool, Victoria Mboko, all of 15 years old, defeats a 19 year old to claim her first ITF title in Saskatoon.

Looks like Leylah needs a little more recovery time...

There must be a story how they know each other.

Looks like the beginning of the end for Paire as far as his tennis career is concerned...

Tommy Paul delivered two breadsticks to Jack Sock earlier today in Atlanta. On the cusp of matching his career high of #33

Gasquet is headed that way too. At 36 had a bad 1st round loss today.

Always neat to see what strings the pros are using as well as tension.

Although he's not listed on the above board, I've heard/read than Mannarino strings his racquet at 12 kilos (25 lbs). How he's able to control his shots I have no idea.

Here's hoping that Leylah will be able to play, but nice to see Rebecca along with Carol and Katherine getting wildcards...

Thiem in a battle with German Yannick Hanfmann - On serve in set 3 at 4-5 with Thiem set to serve when the skies open up and the match is suspended due to rain.

Edit: Hanfmann breaks Thiem to win the match. Ooof.

Looking for advice on US Open seat choice for the second Friday semis.

Budget probably puts me in the top section which is $200-300/seat for the front of it and $100 for the back. Is there any value to being a little closer for that much more money when you're already so far up? And I imagine being at one of the ends of the court is better than one of the sides? Any other advice?

Iga on the receiving end of a breadstick courtesy of Caroline Garcia (on clay no less).

Edit: What Girly said lol

This year's Rogers Cup will be the first big tennis tournament I've attended so I won't be much help. I'm going to watch Nadal so I bought Center Court tickets but what I've heard from people that have attended AO and Miami Open is that grounds passes and the outside courts are the better bang for your buck. Unless you are there to see a specific player who would only be playing on Center then they said to go with that.

Edit: NVM if you are there for the semis then Center is the only option
