United Cup starts later this week and Canada is in the field with Felix and Leylah leading the charge. Canada is in a group with Greece and Chile thus we will likely see Felix take on Oikos and Leylah face Sakkari.

Go Canada Go!

Looks like Felix pulled out of the singles - Not a great way to start 2024 (apparently still in for mixed doubles though).

Leylah won her singles match, but Steven Diez lost his singles match to Nicolas Jarry. The mixed doubles just ended now and Leylah / Steven won it 7-5 4-6 10-8.

Diez looked pretty good in doubles despite hardly playing it

What on earth? Noah Rubin is back? Have we time travelled back to prepandemic times or something??? I thought this guy was done with tennis for good and had just taken on pickleball full time.

Anyway he beat some OHBH German lefty futures veteran named Lucas Gerch in round 1 qualifying for a Portuguese challenger event. Meh.

We have our first 6-0 6-0 of 2024 and it happened at the United Cup as Iga and Hubi teamed up to thrash SST and ADF.

Ahead of their match tomorrow, who remembers the 2018 US Open QF match between Nadal and Thiem? Probably the greatest QF match I've ever seen at the US Open
