Bianca - Bertens are back playing and Bibi takes the opening game.
Edit: They play one point and the rain starts up again.
Edit #2: Short delay and back playing after a couple of minutes.

Man, what a set of tennis from Bianca as she takes it 6-1. Bertens had no answers in that opening set.
Edit: Well, you knew that high level of tennis wouldn't last. Bertens up an early break in set 2.

Back on serve in set 2 - Bertens is a big server, but Bianca is reading her serve well and making a ton of returns.

Last two service games Bianca has been down love-40 and came back to hold serve both times.

Set 2 needs a tie-breaker.

Oh man, Bertens had a sitter on her racquet to force a third set and dumped it into the net.

Bertens saves one match point and we need a third set to determine a winner.

Meanwhile in Montreal, Felix takes the opening set over Silent K in a tie-breaker (9-7 was the tie-breaker score).

There aren't many players who overcome the adversity Felix did in that set against a very good opponent. This match is a definite building block for the rest of the year should he prevail.

I can't watch the match but apparently the crowd is just giving it to Khachanov, it's like a Davis Cup match.

Bianca with an early break in set 3. Let's go!
Edit: Consolidates to take a 3-0 lead

The snobs on /r/tennis were complaining about the crowds yesterday too.

I'd really like to see Felix work a few more slices into these rallies from time to time. It's not his MO but I feel like the odd change of pace would cause a guy like Khachanov trouble in some of these lengthy games.

Gusty conditions in Toronto are wreaking havoc with play.

It was 3-0 Bianca and now it's 4-4.

The Montreal crowd is always more ruthless than the Toronto crowd.
Its awesome.
