Break point for Shapo to get back on serve.

Is that line judge of Serbian descent, that ball was way out. Shapo breaks and we are back on serve.

That was a tight forehand from Djoker.

Well, Shapo has guaranteed himself at worst a 3rd set tie-breaker.

These Serbian fans might make me cheer for Russia in the semi-finals and I loathe Russia.

How are there so many Serbians in Sydney? You think there would be more Canadians.

70,000 in Australia.

I'm watching this third set Girly, Genie is playing some fine tennis and has a chance to pull off the upset.

Damn, Genie broken and Anisimova is serving for the match. Good fight being shown in this match from Bouchard, though.

Too bad, but Genie gave the young American a real battle out there.

What a result for Belgium. The little muffin man pounds the ball and pulls off the huge upset downing Rafa in a river of sweat 6-4, 7-6 (7-3)

Wonder how Nadal Fan is feeling right about now?

And now everything riding on that doubles match. Does Rafa play in that one?

Shapo telling it like it is. Serb fans were total duchebags.

To be honest with you if this was the Australian Open I would be pissed but because it's just the ATP Cup and they ended up winning anyways I can appreciate the irony.

What an event from Shapo.

This is a guy who has now completely transformed his game into one based on IQ and timely power and is going toe to toe with some of the greats.

I would be shocked if we aren't talking about a season highlighted with a couple deep major runs and potentially 2-3 smaller titles this year based on the way the last 6 months have gone under the coaching of Youzhny.

How is Felix higher on the depth chart than Vasek and Milos for team tennis right now? Injuries?

I think it's just based on his current ATP ranking.

Spain vs. Australia is going to be a cracker and the Aussie fans will be bringing the noise.

Kyrgios vs. RBA
De Minaur vs. Rafa

If it comes down to the doubles decider, you have to think Kyrgios and Nadal will be on opposite sides of the net.

I'll take that bet! Bouchard is a pretty useless tennis player. She has no real strengths to her game. Unless instagram posting is one!

Sure it will be a fun bet. I'm 2-0 up on you so far.

Stephens has had a horrible last 6 months. She 6-10.
