I did read an article from Christopher Clarey that indicated that Bianca injured her foot recently. That probably has restricted her on-court training obviously and her overall fitness.

Troubling that she may be this injury prone already. This year works in her favour since this is practically a lost year for the WTA circuit. But you hope this isn't going to be her trait going forward that she can't stay healthy. Otherwise she'll be yet another Canadian flash in the pan. (But at least has won major tournaments)

Western and Southern men's draw is out - Denis and Felix are in the top half of the draw (Novak's half) while Milos is in the bottom half. Denis takes on Marin Cilic in his opening match while Milos will face Sam Querrey. Felix will play the basher from Georgia (the country, not the state).

I just realized that there is actually going to be tennis on tomorrow. Nothing cures a broken Flames fan heart like watching Felix and Shapo win.

Shaky start from both Felix and Basilashvili, it's almost as if these guys haven't played a match in 5 months or so.

Felix prevails defeating Basilashvili 6-4 6-1. He will take on the winner of Sonego vs. Sandgren in round 2.

Nice salad on Milos and a nice win (6-4 6-4) over Querrey. Let's see if Shapo can make it 3 for 3 as far as the Canadians are concerned.

Is it just me or does it look like Shapo has been doing some work in the gym?!? More lower body than upper, those legs look a lot more muscular than I remember.

I just realized the ball kids are not touching the towels either. A lot more walking back and forth for the players

Yeah, I think it should be a permanent change. I mean, who wants to grab a sweaty towel repeatedly when it's not your sweat?
