Miami Open 2019

[Vegas]

Donald Young is as mad of a comparison as you can go.

The guy had zero success in his career.

There very high expectations for him when he was a junior. He won about everything back then.

Yeah but once he became a professional we knew he was trash.

I gave him 2 years before I gave up on him

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Not sure why you would use that as a comparison

A sneaky way to mention genetic tans...

FAA is the real deal regardless and last night stunned me. Coric is not a chump.

I was all set to watch Shapovalov here at work but they are replaying his last match on TSN LIVE.

Is it raining in Miami??

Yep. Suspended due to weather right now.

The first women's semi finals only played 2 games so far.

Crap...

I was ready to idle away my work afternoon with Shapovalov.

Fed played with a vengeance!! Revenge was clearly on his mind. When Fed is on he can pretty much beat anyone!! He let a break slip away in the second but he still had enough grip on the match to win it. Andoo got tight serving at 4-4.

So the game is afoot.

Isner vs The Kid and in the battle of one handed backhands, Shapovalov vs Rog.

I have my popcorn ready.

Shapovalov has a lethal southside backhand. And boy does he run balls down.

Will be interesting to see if The Kid can handle the big Isner serve.

I'm stoked.

I didn't see a lot of the Aussie Open due to it's time slot here, but watching this on my new huge TV screen is extremely satisfying. Last night they even broadcast the last half of the Shapovalov match with no commentators. Huge scree + great surround sound = almost there live.....

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Crap.....

Watched it at work. TSN Live.

Held his own though.

Yep. He's good

Isner in the finals at Miami for 2nd straight year.

Never saw that time

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Yep. He's good

Died with his boots on.

Have you ever been to the Canadian Open?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope.

Not a traveller and it's across the continent.

I'll watch the tiebreakers on the ESPN 3 on-demand, so I can see what Auger-Allassime is like.

The fact he took a huge server like Isner to 2 tiebreakers, breaking him once in each set, at the tender age of 18 , should tell you how he is.

I guess, but I don't expect Isner to win tiebreakers. He seems to lose most of them in "big matches".

And with the way Auger-Allisme is playing, and given that it was a SF, that's a big match.

 

[nuraman00]

The Bryan Brothers are into the Finals.

 

[Hs0022]

Fed routed Shapo. Picked up where he left off with Andoo. Lately he hasn’t been closing the deal in finals. So I am not predicting anything
