[Frequitude]

I think the only points Monfls has won on Raonic's serve have been the two breaks? Crazy.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Le Monf is rolling right now, 9 straight wins on hardcourts including the DC title last week. Must be the goatee.

[GirlySports]

Has Le Monf finally matured? Hes had a great year

[Mango]

He really has. He's so much fun to watch.

[dash_pinched]

Well, go Monfils I guess...

[The Big Chill]

Milos missing too many shots he normally makes.

[Karl]

After a close, hard-fought first set between Stan The Man and Nishikori. This one's all but over now as Kei goes up 5-0 in set 2.

[Resolute 14]

Stan lost a first set he really should have won, then flat out quit on the match. Pretty disappointing.

[dash_pinched]

This is not the same Monfils I saw last night. Of course, the guy on the other side of the net makes a pretty big difference as well.

Shapovalov vs Saville (AUS)

a bunch of seeds are out of the 8 seeds, 1,2,3,5 & 6 are all out in the first round (4, 7 and 8 have not played yet). Could have no seeds in the final 16.

[GirlySports]

Shapovalov def Saville 76 76 last night.

weird schedule as Shapovalov plays Barriere (FRA) this afternoon while Bester and Polansky go tomorrow. No night action today (i think the women are playing)

[GirlySports]

Shapovalov crushed (8)Barriere(FRA) 64 61

[GirlySports]

both Polansky and Bester lost today.

Shapovalov is the last man standing. He plays Banguera (the guy who beat AA) in the late match Friday.

[GirlySports]

Shapovalov lost 63 64, boooooo.

[GirlySports]

while everyone is watching the olympics, life continues on the tour.

The young american Tiafoe won Granby. He was drawn against Shapovalov first round in Gatineau but he pulled out due to injury so Shapovalov will get a Canadian lucky loser named Monette. Polansky and Auger Alissiame will play each other first round. Dancevic has advanced to Round 2.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Denis won his match and Polansky beat Felix in straights. Peliwo won his match and will play another Canadian whom I know nothing of, Philip Bester. Also since Rio is being effed with by rain, here's the finished US Open roof. Looks mighty slick I must say.

[dash_pinched]

That roof looks darn spiffy to me.

[polak]

That's pretty impressive. The stadium is pretty massive in person.
