Stef kicks his dad out of his box and then proceeds to win the tourney in Los Cabos.

Also Huberdeau was hanging out with the WTA players showing them some hockey skills, but Azarenka's son was the star of the show

I have to disagree with the commentators, Rafa did do something wrong - He should have hit the ball harder

2013 North American swing was the highest level Nadal ever played outside a clay court IMO. Not only does he win Canada defeating Djokovic and local favorite Raonic in the finals, he backs that up by winning Cincy defeating Federer and local favorite Isner in the final. Then to cap it all off he defeated Djokovic in the final to win the US Open for a 2nd time. He's the only member of the big 3 to complete the hat trick.

I was there! The other semi I believe was that Milos Pospisil cracker. Plus memories of Djoker dancing in a huge wig to Get Lucky while Istomen was just trying to get off court but kept getting blocked by the giant tennis ball mascot, also dancing to Get Lucky. Oh and Fognini being super rude to fans while stretching shirtless. Can't believe it's already been 10 years.

Alexis Galarneau just forced a 3rd and deciding set against Francisco Cerundolo.

Edit: Raining both in Toronto and Montreal.

Edit 2: Play has resumed in Toronto.

Rats, Alexis was up a break in set 3, but Cerundolo got dialed in and Alexis went off the boil and the result is Francisco takes set 3 6-4. Pretty good level of tennis from the Canadian today, though.

Milos breaks Tiafoe serving for the opening set - We play on at 5-5 in the opening set.

Oh man, I thought Milos had done enough, but a great shot by Frances - 9-9 in the first set tie-break.

Edit: Tiafoe takes the opening set 14-12 in the tie-break.

We need a 3rd set ladies and gentlemen. Milos wins the 2nd set in a tie-break 7-4

Milos is battling a bad back in this 3rd set and it's affecting his serve (three double faults in the opening service game). Still managed to hold serve, though.

Edit: And then he breaks Tiafoe at love because of course he does.

Milos is hanging in there. He's looking pretty good far.

That was a great service game from the big man. One more hold of serve is all that's needed.
