Marin and Rafa giving the fans on centre court their money's worth.

Pretty good match from both players, wasn't 100% sure Nadal was going to win after Cilic was rolling that first set.

That's a pretty good stat they just put on the screen - ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals reached:

Tsitsipas - 1
Khachanov - 1
Anderson - 2
Nadal - 67

It's a strong Greek community in Toronto and their son is in the final.

Very tough draw for Shapo and Milo's in Cincinnati. Milo's has Nadal 2nd round and Shapo has Tiafoe in first round. Shapo currently ranked #32 in danger of not being ranked for the US Open.

One of the best runs ever. Thiem, Djokovic, Zverev and Anderson.

Nadal tomorrow? Nadal is still in a rain delay.

Hopefully it's a Greek tragedy tomorrow and Nadal can win his 33rd Masters title. I'm curious what the crowd split will be tomorrow.

Womens final is a slugfest. Seems every point is 15+ shots.

No kidding - Stephens was just broken by Halep leading 40-love in her service game.

Halep breaks Stephens once again and is serving for the title up 5-2 in set 3.

Halep takes it winning set 3 6-4. On the men's side, Tsitsipas has made more unforced errors in the first five games of the opening set today than he did in the first two sets against Anderson yesterday.

It looks like the young Greek kid has run out of gas.

It’s amazing to watch how well Nadal still moves. I’m so glad I’ve been able to watch his whole career.

I think that's a part of Rafa's game that doesn't get enough credit, he gets to a lot of balls that few players can.

Nice sportsmanship from Rafa, a fan yelled out during Stefanos' first serve which he missed badly, the umpire said there's nothing I can do aside from making an announcement, Rafa said, "Take two serves".
