Fognini actually injured his foot in the 2nd set. Given how well he played in the first in all honesty he probably wins if he doesn't get injured.

Monfils and Agut got rained out so they have to play this morning and the winner will play Nadal this evening.

Also the Cincy draw is out, Shapo plays Fognini first round but I expect Fognini to pull out, and Felix plays a qualifyer first round. The Djokovic half is comically difficult with him, Federer, Khachanov , Tsitsipas, Krygios, Wawrinka, Medvedev, Isner. Nadals half (not that I expect him to play) has him, Nishikori, Zverev, Felix, Thiem and back playing singles Murray.

Looking good early, mixing things up with drop shots and cross-court dinks combined with good power.

Meanwhile, things aren't looking good in Montreal as far as weather is concerned...

Wow, that was a terrific four points in a row from 15-40 down to hold serve.

Hothead challenges.

Kenin loses 2 challenges on the first 4 points of the 2nd set.

Best time to break is when you have just been broken. Back on serve in set 2.

was just thinking about that, right now I'd rather hear the bushbirds calling...at least that one has some nice scenery that reminds me of going on vacation.

...and there it is again. I swear this is being used right now in prisons for war criminals to extract intel from them.

Kenin stealing a page right out of the Kei Nishikori playbook, eh Girly?

The Air Emirates commercial I’m seeing every break, is too much.
