So, we should prepare ourselves for an Isner-like slide then?

I'd say Milos' 2017 has been a pretty bad slide.

When you can't defend your points earned in previous years because of injury, you're invariably going to drop in the rankings.

He played in 3 GS this year and I don't recall him having any injury issues at those tournaments.

It's harder to defend your points earned in previous years when you can't take a set against Nadal or Federer.

Yeah, well there's a reason why those two are generally regarded as two of the top 3 players in the history of the game and they raise their games even higher at grand slam tournaments. Nobody was beating Roger at Wimbledon this year, he didn't drop a set in the entire tournament.

So it's not injury then, it's the quality of opponent?

Maybe Mercury is in retrograde?

Man, I'd swear some of these Canadian "heroes" around here are your guys' children. Raonic had a bad year and is maybe a contender for "Best of the Rest" on his best, uninjured, stars-are-aligned perfectly day.

All I did was mention that the younger guy with infinite more skill even at his young age has already matched a career-best of Raonic's.

So I'm hearing that the media presser for this upcoming Davis Cup tie in Edmonton this weekend between Canada and India included a question about McDavid.

Going with the young guys in singles play and the vets for the doubles on Saturday...

Definitely not the same atmosphere in Northlands Coliseum like there is as Thunderbird Arena on the UBC campus.

Shapo levels the Davis Cup tie at 1-1 after day one with a tough five set win. Also, way to not support this event Deadmonton, holy hell, Northlands had all the atmosphere of a crypt.
