Good for Evans, hopefully that builds some confidence in him. I like his game I just think mentally is where he breaks down.

Rafa doesn't have to worry about getting his purple and pink ensemble dirty today as he is steam rolling Dimitrov.

Should we push back the reservations by 90 minutes, Rafa?
Nah, 60 minutes should be fine. It will give me enough time to shower and change. I'll meet you there

The first set of Djokovic vs Evans took as long as this match.

After defeating RBA, Rublev was asked the following: "So tomorrow you play Rafael Nadal. You've played him before but this will be the first time on clay. How exciting is that?"
Rublev: "Not really."
Edit: Here is the question and answer (I paraphrased the above).

Leylah one game away as she leads 5-2 in set 3.
Edit: It got a little dicey, but Leylah prevails 7-5 4-6 6-4. Canada leads Serbia 1-0

There will be no repeat champion in Monte-Carlo as Casper Ruud just took out Fabio Fognini in straight sets. Up next, Rafa vs. Rublev.

This Rublev kid is playing pretty good, of course 5 DFs from Rafa helps.

Rebecca Marino's first serve is pretty damn impressive.

This is pretty easy to say now, but I wonder why Serbia didn't go with an indoor clay surface for this tie with Canada. Surely they would want to nullify Rebecca's biggest weapon which is her serve.
