Not a good look here from Greek Yogurt, what does it say about you when you just lost to a guy who you say has 'few tools'? It might be time to cut loose Mom and Dad.

Didn't Bweh come from a high pressure borderline abusive tennis upbringing too? He's always too hard on himself but I root for him because of his earnestness.

I'm a Bweh fan as well and you can tell he has put in the work to improve his second serve and his return of serve. He has a excellent H2H against Ruud (4 to 1 in Andrey's favour) and thus you have to like his chances of making the Sunday final.

Fritz serving for the 2nd set at 5-4 30-all has a pretty easy putaway at the net when somebody yells out from the crowd and he dumps it in the net. Djokovic breaks on the very next point. Taylor is not amused.

Djokovic is into the finals as he eliminates Fritz 7-6(5) 7-6(6). Really a shame that whoever yelled out quite possibly robbed us of a 3rd and deciding set.

Big win for Vasek just now as he advances to the final in Drummondville. A win on Sunday would propel him back inside the top 100.

The final in Turin will be Novak Djokovic versus Casper Ruud as Ruud advances 6-2 6-4 over Andrey Rublev.

Djokovic looking good to roll through the ATP Finals undefeated as he's up a set and a break on Casper Ruud.

Edit: Novak wins his 6th ATP finals 7-5 6-3 over Casper Ruud. Nice bonus prize for going through the tourney undefeated (4.7 million)

Australia swept the Netherlands 2-0 in Davis Cup play in Malaga earlier today. They await the winner between Croatia and Spain in the semi-finals (Croatia and Spain play on Wednesday).

Thanks as always for the updates throughout this tourney and all the others. I don’t know if I’ll ever get up out of my seat for another Djokovic trophy, but his continual march towards more and more shared or standalone records cannot be brushed off. His place strictly inside the tennis record book is secure, I just wish it was paired with a more appealing package off the court.

The top 5 men's Grand Slam matches this year, let me know how I did.....

5) Nadal vs Felix at the French Open
4) Djokovic vs Sinner at Wimbledon
3) Alcaraz vs Sinner at the US Open
2) Nadal vs Djokovic at the French Open
1) What else could it be but the single greatest moment in tennis this year and maybe of all time? ........Nadal vs Medvedev at the AO . The comeback, Nadal finally winning a 2nd AO trophy and breaking Federer's record 20 grand slams , a record that I never in my wildest dreams ever thought Nadal would break when he first came onto the scene. I don't know if anything will ever top that moment for me in tennis

I think you pretty much nailed it NF, maybe you could make a case for Felix vs. Meddy at the Aussie Open, but that's just a minor quibble.

Thanks DP! I didn't want to be so biased but Nadal really had some great matches this year. Next year Felix winning a slam might be enough for the top spot
