Not a good performance by Felix earlier today as he was ousted in straight sets. I think he needs to follow the lead of his good friend Shapo and get a new voice in his camp, the current coaching staff needs a shake-up.

Monfils is turning things around in his match against Bublik.

The comeback falls short however as Bublik dispatches Monfils in four sets. The man from Kazakhstan (born in Russia) might do some damage at Roland Garros. From his wikipedia page:

Alexander Stanislavovich Bublik is a Russian born tennis player who represents Kazakhstan. Bublik is known for his serving. He has achieved a career high ranking of No. 47 in the ATP rankings as of 24 February 2020. He has said that he hates tennis and he only plays for the money.

That's a great gif (I tweeted that out when Djoker was defaulted at the US Open).

We need a third and deciding set to determine the winner - Leylah dropped the first set 6-1, but won set 2 by a 6-2 score.

1 up and 1 down today as far as the Canadians are concerned - Vasek lost in straight sets to Berrettini (now 0-7 at Roland Garros) while Shapo just defeated Gilles Simon in four sets.

Shapo served for the match twice in the 5th set and was broken both times :(

On a more positive note, Leylah Fernandez won her match and is into round 3. Genie and Leylah carrying the Canadian flag high.
