Never been to Cincinnati for the Western and Southern Open, but how about the Laver Cup that's coming to Chicago later this year? Tickets go on sale this Friday.

Good draw for both Milos and Dennis in Miami. Not a single player that I would be shocked to see Dennis beat in his quarter, but Dimitrov would be quite a feat to overcome for Milos at this juncture. A decent run from both and we will see top 20 and top 40 rankings out of these guys for sure.

Vasek in tough once again so anything he does would be gravy.

Abanda and Bouchard both just lost in the final round of qualifying.

Polansky almost out too. Lost the first set and just got broken serving for the 2nd.

Yeah, if he can get by Dr. Ivo, then a tough match against the young Russian Rublev would be next.

I wouldn't question her decision to attend that event. The only thing Genie has left is looks. She's gotta ride what she has for as long as she can get paid to do so. Because Tennis ain't gonna do it.

Bacsinsky vs Makarova is an interesting 1st round match. Two former top 10s who have fallen.

Osaka crushed Serena 6-3, 6-2. She's on a roll.

Denis takes the opening set 6-3. Pretty breezy in south Florida today.

Tricky Troicki takes the second set in a tie-breaker. Troicki is getting a lot of balls back and waiting for Shapo to make the error.

All right, Denis up a break in set 3.

edit: looked like he might give the break right back down 15-40, but four straight points later and leading 4-1 in set 3.

Welp, Denis was up 5-1 and serving for the match, now we're back on serve at 4-5 with Troicki serving.

he's just emulating what Federer did during the IW finals, nothing wrong with taking cues from your idols, right...
