$350 is right up there with the Pure Aero 98. Kind of a cash grab IMO as I feel the current $300-310 price point is too high. At least Head is keeping all their frames under $300.

Trouble brewing in the Tsitsipas camp - I think Stef should have dumped his father 3 or 4 years ago in all honesty.

Today he officially dumped his Dad as coach, let's see if Tsitsipas can get his once promising career back on track. Remember when he beat Federer in Australia? Seems like 100 years ago lol

If he picks up Patrick Mouratoglou, it won't be any better. That backhand needs a significant overhaul.

Bweh eliminates Sinner in Montreal and Jannik is still dealing with a hip issue which might make him doubtful for Cincinnati.

Also, I don't want to hear Zverev complaining about his opponents throwing a ball toss in the air and catching it to avoid a time violation ever again when he did that very thing (twice on the same point) late in this match versus Korda. He'll say it was windy blah blah blah but he knew exactly what he was doing.

Also, literally every player does that very thing at some point in their career in various matches.

Flavio Cobolli follows up taking out Felix in Montreal with a big win earlier today over Tommy Paul in Cincinnati. He's sort of flown under the radar with the success of other Italians such as Sinner, Berrettini, Musetti, Arnaldi, and Nardi, but that won't be the case for much longer if he keeps posting top-20 wins.

Rublev melting down in the Montreal final. He totally tanked the first set.

Bweh was better in set 2, but Popyrin wins his first Masters 1000 title. He played a great match tonight.

Is this the weakest era in Mens tennis history? Popyrin won a Masters 1000 title. Prime Berdych would be world #1 right now I'm not even kidding

I think what we saw this past week in Montreal is that it takes some time to transition from clay to hard courts and that the guys who did well in Montreal this week are the guys who didn't play the Olympic tourney.

Also losing an entire day of play due to weather factored into the results.

Yeah, I think Sinner was still recovering from tonsilitis and his conditioning likely took a hit and having to play two matches in one day was not ideal for him. Hopefully, he didn't injure his hip too badly.

Yesterday was Pistol Pete's birthday, enjoy these highlights of his last ever match when he won the 2002 US Open. Fun fact on the way to the title he beat Roddick (who would win the title the next year) in straight sets.

There are several intergenerational dream matches I'd love to see but seeing Sampras vs Djokovic at Wimbledon and Sampras vs Nadal at the US Open is very high on that list for me.
