Has anyone paid much attention to the Ultimate Tennis Showdown? It's on TSN right now, and it's interesting...

These are replays of matches that took place in the springtime/early summer, right? Yeah, I enjoyed them, it was some fun tennis.

I think so? I actually have it on without audio  , but the premise is pretty neat. It would make for a fun video game.

Shapo plays a fantastic return game and breaks Rublev to take a 4-3 lead in the opening set.
Edit: Denis takes the opening set 6-4. Really high level of tennis from Denis.

Tough to hold serve when you toss in four double faults after being up 40-love. Denis was serving great up until that game.

Shapo broken after a fan claps repeatedly after he misses a first serve. Denis fuming with the umpire during the changeover.

Shapo was fine until that service game when he had 4 double faults and just wasn't the same afterwards as Rublev takes it 4-6 6-3 6-4. Oh well.

Rublev is playing some extremely high level of tennis after winning in Rome and making the French Open quarters so no shame losing to him. Sucks because now he probably won't qualify for the Tour Finals in London this year.

Shapo made the finals in Paris last year so not much of a chance to gain many points before London. Rublev really returned well today, he was full credit for the win.

Milos off to an identical start as yesterday as he leads 4-0 in set 1.
Edit: Just like yesterday, Milos wins the opening set 6-1

All of a sudden, the Milos train goes off the tracks.

Ugh, Milos should be up a break in set 3, just some terrible misses.
Edit: Of course, Milos is broken a couple of games later.

Very disappointing because Coric played like crap today and yet it was enough to beat Milos. So much for the all-Canadian final
/Rublev should roll to victory on Sunday.

Thanks for the updates, dash! I was worried about things happening in threes today. Good to see Felix was able to put that to rest.
