Diallo loses two tiebreaks against Holt. Good progression as Holt made the 2nd round of the Australian Open losing to RBA in 5 but sucks to lose that closely, especially that first set.

Yeah, that's a match that Gabriel could have and likely should have won.

Marino loses to Zheng this morning in Abu Dhabi.
Fernandez down a set and looks headed for tie break in 2nd set vs Rogers, in front of about 8 people. Leylah has a few break points but has not broken yet, and will need to soon I guess.

The crowds to watch the women in Abu Dhabi are pathetic, the WTA is likely getting a ton of money from the tourney organizers, but this is a very bad look.

/Oh and Leylah lost in the third set 6-1

It seems that this is retaliation for some questionable line calls by his opponent based on further reading I've done. Even so, this is really bad form.

why is there no chair ump? There are chair umps in even the smallest futures events, ATP 15! (just no linespeople)

This is a college match and I'm not sure which division (I'm guessing Division III) so that might explain no chair umpire.

Edit: I just looked it up and if it is Radford University in Virginia, it is Division I which makes it very strange that there is no chair umpire assigned.

Andreescu, the lone Canadian women remaining, is leading in 1st set.
Had not thought of the female aspect in Abu Dhabi. WTA should never go there again

Bianca drops the opening set in a tie-break to Putintseva. Shaping up to be a brutal day for Canadian women in Abu Dhabi.

How about some levity on a dreary Tuesday?

Girly's guy JJ Wolf advances in Dallas over Brandon Holt, but I wish he would bring back the mullet...

Ons Jabeur will be out for a while as he is having a minor surgical procedure.

Ugh, you hate to see this, Humbert had a tough 2022, but he's still very young and was playing some fine tennis today when he took a nasty spill. Great sportsmanship from ADF.

Man, that's at least $750 of racquets obliterated - I know the pros get them free of charge.
