This reminds me of the PCB match at the US Open.

The good news for Denis is he didn't even have the worst collapse today, by a long shot. Bad for the sport though, Kyrigos-Shapovalov would have been great and important for the future. Kyrgios-Tsonga is nothing.

I really didn't think Genie would be the last Canadian standing in singles.

Sorry for being a jinx. Never going to say “close it out” again.

It didn't work out, but don't be sorry for your heart being in the right place. You meant well.

Talk about women's tennis. Bencic beats Venus then loses to a Thai qualifier.
Halep vs Bouchard is night session. Will be at 1am mountain

I would have loved to see the Kyrgios-Shapo match up....too bad. At least he's playing the right way despite the loss. His nerves got the best of him in a match that was his for the taking. Who would have thought his backhand of all shots would have let him down, twice, at the most crucial part of the match.
What a terrible tournament for Canadians. This is the first time since the US open in 2016 we have not had any male players present in at least the third round of a Major.

Thanks @AustralianOpen for over 25 great years. Unfortunately my last one came to an end today. Will leave this beautiful country with fond memories of a gold medal and my first grand slam win. Lucky to have spent over 2 years of my life here and share with my family too.

To me, the two key moments that led to the loss were as follows:
At 3-0, up 30-40, he had the break on his strings with Tsonga trapped at the net but dunked his backhand.. If he hits the passing shot there and goes up 4-0 he wins the Final set 6-1 without encountering the nerves.
First point of the game serving 5-3, he hits a strong serve out wide and Tsonga blocks it back right to him. He hits a full forehand but puts it in the middle of the court which gives Tsonga time to reach it and direct it back deep to a corner. From there Shapo plays tentative and Tsonga overtakes the point and the game.
If he follows up his big serve with ripping Tsonga's return to the far corner (like he had done all match) he wins that point with a volley or open court backhand and that game might go differently. It's what he did so well all match but a clear case of what the pressure and nerves will do.
Great learning experience! He definitely impressed in his brief Aussie Opem debut.

Gaby Dabrowski and her partner Xu are off to the third round. She's got two matches tomorrow, women's and mixed.

Joker versus Gael Monfils should be a very entertaining match tonight.

Also, there is an upset brewing on Margaret Court Arena as Denis Kudla of the States leads #5 seed Dominic Thiem two sets to love.
