I do not understand why people still care at all about Bouchard or watch her matches. You guys are Charlie Brown, she's Lucy.

Look soon enough we'll have Bianca Andreescu to talk about instead. Although to actually give Genie some credit, once she fell off I thought she'd just throw in the towel, but she's at least fighting to try and get back.

Right, so, no good reason whatsoever.

On another note, I would like to actively beat to death whoever it is who made the decision that, having missed the Shapovalov match yesterday, the only thing I get is a 2:30 highlight package (for a nearly four hour match) that shows none of the breaks or set points.

#### you, US Open. Die in a fire.

also, I just realized that the inertia of a 1lb football is the only thing that can prevent Charlie Brown from flipping violently onto his back. maybe it's him and his terrible technique that's been at fault since the beginning.

On a serious note, she looked very good in all three of her qualifying matches and as the Senator stated, at least she's still working hard to try to get her ranking back to where it used to be. The big difference I saw today was a person who looked drained today and I'm sure the four matches she played prior to the one today were a significant factor.

I'm trying to decide what's the most egregious selection from that top 10. Jerzy or Tomic for me.

Whomever selected Paire has egg on his face - which is better than racket in the face. From earlier today against Roger...

Honestly, Lahyani should be removed from this tournament for that. And if he does it again, he should be fired. You're the bloody umpire. You have an absolute responsibility to remain impartial.

Why not just boot effing DBAG Kyprios out of Tennis? the guy is a piece of crap and hates tennis and is ruining the game.

I lost a little respect for Federer for defending him 2 nights ago.

Bouchard should be American. Entitled, spoiled, unsportsmanlike personality that everyone hates. Gives Canada a bad name.

Gaby Dabrowski with a second win today as her and mixed doubles partner Mate Pavic won their opening round match.

Lahyani could be in some trouble...

2) Federer
3) Djokovic

Hahaha
