I was chatting with someone with Canadian tennis ties the other day and apparently Tennis Canada has been hounding him for the last five years. He always said no, but they must have sweetened the pot in December for him to change his mind. I'm not sure what is was, but I agree the Davis Cup definitely had something to do with it.

If that's the case, it's too bad they didn't get him on board sooner because he's ineligible to play in February due to the 90 day window.

At least he's a die-hard Senators fan...and not of some other team in Ontario

Bah Janowicz collapsed in the 3rd set

Oh well, It's a long season. Hopefully he'll keep improving.

Raonic-Kohlschreiber will be shown on TSN tonight but it's going to be late.
4th match on Court 3.

Starting at 5pm Mountain: Mixed doubles, Men's singles (Dodig/Gasquet), women's doubles.

So I estimate the match will start around 11pm Mountain. Fingers crossed the 3 previous matches go really fast.

[GirlySports]

women's doubles on court 3 now so expect Milos around 11pm on TSN
Going to be a late night!

Darn, was hoping to catch a nap before watching Tomic get shellacked by the Maestro. Oh well, hooray for weekends.

[GirlySports]

ugh doubles match taking forever, 1st set almost an hour long..
IN DOUBLES!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

It will be on the main TSN channel Girly?

yup! but doubles match just went into a 3rd set so we're looking at a midnight start.

With Milos starting so late we might not see Federer at all on tv. In fact if Federer crushes Tomic, that match might end first!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Ah, okay. TSN has Del Porto/Charday and TSN2 has Sportscenter on, so I didn't know what was going on.

Yup TSN is waiting too

Chardy just beat Del Potro!

[GirlySports]

waaaah still doubles! 5-5 in the 3rd!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Milos, where are you???

[GirlySports]

probably closer to a 12:30 start now.
Who puts a women's doubles match before a men's singles match? Stoopid Australians.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Australians are like Canadians with different accents. You'd think they'd give Canadians priority.

[GirlySports]

'irregardless' women's doubles and men's singles shouldn't even be on the same court.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I had no idea Wozniacki was ranked 10th now. I thought for sure she was still top 5.

[GirlySports]

She's bad now, probably will lose this match to a no-name.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Blame Rory. Seriously.

Kidding aside, it's weird to watch her be human. Kinda sad.

[GirlySports]

yaaaay doubles over! Miiiiiiiiilooosh in about 15 minutes.

[killer_carlson]

I can barely keep my eyes open.

In case i fall asleep; Go Milos!


What channel will he be on?
