That is a huge win for Denis. Berdych is easily off to one of the best starts of the season and playing way above his current ranking.

Most impressive is how clean of a service game he displayed. If this is a sign of things to come, we may have finally witnessed a breakthrough on that front.

Interesting to learn that Khachanov switched racquets during the off-season and is struggling with the new blade.

Wow! Brayden Schnur just ousted Stevie Johnson 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7-4). Nice scalp man!

Schnur will play Lorenzi play next in the quarterfinals.

Yep, and he also had to work very, very hard to hold his serve at 5-6 to get into the breaker first trailing 0-30 and then 15-40.

Serious guts and mental fortitude shown by him to complete that comeback from first being down 2-5 and then on his last rights on his final service game.

At 3-3 in set 2, Brayden had Johnson at love-40 and couldn't get the break. Then Brayden was broken at 4-5 to lose the second set and quickly went down love-3 in the third set and I thought he was done like dinner. As you say Karl, he dug down deep, fought hard, and willed his way to victory.

Live rankings has Brayden Schnur at #129, if he can defeat Lorenzi, he would be ranked higher than Peter Polansky.

At least they get down to business (unless I missed something?), unlike World Cup draws.

France and Serbia are in Group A - Here's hoping Canada can avoid that group.

Edit: Japan drawn into that group.

Canada is in good shape, any of the last 3 groups will do.
