Charlie's run last year in Madrid would be right up there taking out Rafa and Novak in back-to-back matches, but gets downgraded badly by facing Zverev in the final.

My goodness, Alexis Galarneau plays a 3 set match that lasts 4 hours and 21 minutes on the clay of Savannah, Georgia. That's a tough loss.

Eh, I almost give him more credit for that. #### Zverev.

The 15 year old phenomenon is blowing Leylah off the court. She's serving 185 km bombs on clay.

Bublik can't get over the line against Galan. Finally does it on the 8th match point. That snapped a five match losing streak.

Only Wavrinka's serve is keeping him in it against Cressy. 16 Aces

Stan survives but it certainly was not easy (7-6 in set 3)

What the heck is TSN doing, Genie's match has started and they said TSN3 would have the match and instead they are showing the Vondrousova match.

Well, after dropping a close first set in a tie-break, Genie won set 2 6-2 and has forced a third set. Sure wish I could watch this match on TSN.

Genie dropped the first two games of set 3 and then won 6 in a row to advance to round 2 of Madrid. Great to see (or not see as the case may be lol).

Showing my age here, but I would still pick Borg - McEnroe in 1980.

I really wish I could have seen that match live and live all the drama and shot making and spectacle. Hearing about it from people who lived it, it was a really special match for the ages. Heck they even made a movie about it .

Another match that would have been sweet would be Sampras vs Federer, I still remember being mad Sampras lost to this no name Swiss guy
