How do you watch? Do you subscribe to the ATP TennisTV thing to watch those kind of matches?

Yes, I currently have a subscription. It really comes in handy at this time of year when we have a bunch of ATP tourneys to wind up the season.

Kyrpios suspended 16 weeks for Cincinnati. Not bad but they should have made him miss the Aussie Open also!

Not sure the ATP has any power over the slams. Those are ITF-run tournaments, are they not?

Anyway, he wasn't even suspended. It was a deferred suspension. All he needs to do is not be a hothead for six months and he gets away with it.

Shapo breaks. Leads Gerasimov 3-1 in the deciding set.

And now holds for 4-1.

It will be PCB that Denis plays on Saturday hoping to make his maiden ATP final. Shapo played quite well against Gerisamov, dropped off a bit in set 2, but rebounded in the final set. Service return continues to be a work in progress.

That's a really tough draw.

I dont expect her to get far. US Open hangover. Other side of the world.

She certainly has a target on her back now, that's for sure.

Speaking of tough draws, Brayden Schnur is trying to qualify for the main draw of the Rakuten Japan Open and drew #53 ranked Pablo Andujar for his first qualifying match.

I think Osaka vs Bianca and Barty vs Bianca are both going to be really great rivalries that help the WTA tour in the 20s (that sounds weird)

Beijing needs players. Players pulling out.
Coach Dancevic isn't going anything. He'll play.

Denis is now 0-for-7 when trying to reach an ATP final. Just too many errors from Shapo combined with PCB playing well. Also, the commentators during the Laver Cup mentioned that they believe players have a read on Shapo's serve based on his positioning at the baseline as well as where he positions his ball toss and watching last night's match, it certainly seemed that on several occasions, PCB knew where Shapo's serve was going.

Better news for Vasek, however.

So, Jelena Ostapenko upsets world #2 Karolina Pliskova despite 25 (yes, that's 20 plus 5) double faults in the match.

Tough one for Vasek as he loses a close match to world #48 Dan Evans 2-6 6-3 6-4. The positive takeaway is he's playing some fine tennis considering he had back surgery a short nine months ago.
