OT: The Tennis thread

Next practice, volleys at the net

Love that one-handed backhand passing shot.

Woot!

Why is someone holding up a huge picture of gretzky in the stands ??? Lol

Shapo is scheduled to be in Vancouver next week for the Odlum Brown tourney, but I think his challenger tour days are behind him.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Kid can play.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I still think the thread title is wrong.

Should be Denis (and Milos).

 

[tducey]

What a run for Denis this week. Genie is a beautiful woman but the thread title is pretty much the truth now. The way Denis is playing this week he could be a top player too soon.

Well, Denis' run comes to an end, but what a great week of tennis.

Should bing his ranking from 143 to about mid-60s.
Wonder if he plays in Vancouver this week? Pretty tight turn-around

Denis announced earlier today that he won't be playing in Vancouver as he's exhausted and needs some time to recharge.

Fed tweaked his back during his match on Sunday and has pulled out of Cincinnati.

As puck noted above, Denis has rocketed up to #67 in the ATP rankings and is now ranked higher than Vasek, who is currently #78.

/Milos is ranked #10

 

[tducey]

Denis is #67 now, got to think that might get him at least 1 favorable match at the US open.

He might get a wildcard entry, but more likely he'll have to go through qualifiers to get into the main draw. He's looking pretty good for this ATP #NextGen tourney at the end of the season, though (currently sitting in 4th place).

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Should take some of his prize $$ and get momma's teeth fixed.

 

[dash]

Denis will have to go the qualifying route to play in the US Open as he was not granted one of the eight wild cards this morning by the USTA.

Fed out and now Milos withdraws as well.
