Yeah, it very well could be the new VCORE 98 which is due to come out soon.

JJ Wolf takes the opening set 6-2 and it was very straight-forward for the American.

Things looking better for Denis thus far in set 2 as he zips out to a 3-love lead.

Edit: Denis will at the very least be playing a tie-break in set 2. Also, no more mullet for JJ Wolf, he looks too clean-cut now lol

We're going to a third set as Denis takes set 2 in a tie-break (7-5 was the tie-breaker score).

After a rough start to his career at least Raonic put together 5-6 years of fairly consistent health before the bottom fell out again. Enough to play full schedules for a while at any rate.

Bianca hasn't played a full season to date and probably never will unless something drastic happens.

Oh boy, looks like another early exit against what should be a far inferior opponent. Shapo needs to make some serious adjustments to turn this nightmare season around. He is just hard to watch these days.

JJ sends Denis packing 6-3 in set 3. Same old story for Denis, just too many unforced errors. Also give credit to Wolf though, he played a fine 3rd set.

Felix victorious in Los Cabos but he certainly struggled today against his Mexican opponent who's ranked in the low 500's. 6-3 7-5 were the set scores (Felix was actually down 5-2 in the second set).

It is highly likely he is not able to play in Aus/NZ and the US events next year either, meaning he might turn this into a second year of skewering himself.

####ing brutal, oh well I'm sure I will still enjoy the tennis in Montreal just won't be the same. Hopefully he is recovered by the US Open.

Man, that's tough news NF, I know how much you were looking forward to seeing Rafa in person. You'll have a great time though, Montreal is a fantastic city.

Yea doesn't look like I'll be able to see him in person before he retires which sucks, super bummed out. I'm sure I'll still have a great time and watching Medvedev or Alcaraz isn't a bad consolation prize I suppose.

sorry NF, I hope the Canadian boys go on an unexpected heater and you get to experience a crazy hometown crowd. when I went in 2013 the atmosphere for the Raonic/Pospisil showdown was electric, like old school Davis cup finals. maybe Shapo will have some 5 year Rafa upset anniversary magic up his sleeve.

A tale of two ATP tourneys - in DC at the Citi Open, the top seeds are dropping like flies while in Los Cabos, all four top seeds comprise the semi-finals.

Wolf has knocked out both Shapovalov and Rune. Rublev might be a step too far though.

Kyrgios will play Baez in the opening round of the National Bank Open and the winner will face Medvedev.
