For totally vain reasons, I'm in favour of Dimitrov winning....

Tough day at the office, Nick?

Kyrgios didn’t exactly cover himself in glory as he walked off court. “That’s terrible refereeing,” he says to umpire James Keothavong.

sorry Grigor admirers/gawkers, Darth Federer just went and lopped off his arm yet again, reminding him who indeed is his daddy. not Roger's best showing but hooray for slam win #300...67 wins clear of Old Jimmy, who played till he was Jagr's age.

the only thing I dislike about Roger's game these days is the continuous waste of break points. watching him go up 15-40 on a return game is like a Flames power play...a great opportunity to make a statement, but you just know it's probably going to end in disappointment and annoyance.

The womens draw is a disaster. #3 and #9 going out.

If Azarenka loses to Osaka after this. Serena could win this title lefthanded

He was in full form. Flipping out over some music that was audible and verbally attacking the umpire a few times. The crowd fully turned on him by the end.

This match between Strycova and Mugurza is just coma inducing. Mugurza must be injured or something because this is a very bizarre performance from her.

Milos warming up. TSN3

Roof is now open.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Women's tennis is all about the unpredictability of it all. How many times in the last three or four years has more than four of the top 10 players actually made the quarters of a major? There's always unseeded players and players in the 20's who make it that far because draws get blown up early, often.

[Mango]

How many years and matches does Milos need to play before people begin pronouncing his name correctly?

[Resolute 14]

Probably right after they stop obsessing about both his serve and his arm sleeve.

[Senator Clay Davis]

It's mostly the Aussie commentators who go with Ray-O-Nich. The American commentators usually get it and the Brits too.

[Mango]

Apologies. It's a bit of a bet peeve of mine.

It's okay, because now they are talking about his headband and the fact he grinds his teeth. The more you know

[Senator Clay Davis]

Milos is an trend setter. Started the sleeve, so maybe mouth guards will be next.

Yeah, what the hell was that? That reporter was as cringe-worthy as "setting up the play".

Those first two sets from Raonic were two of the best I've seen him play.

Also, WTF TSN? You have FIVE channels, and you still feel it necessary to leave a tiebreaker at 7-7 without moving to an alternate channel?
