OT: The Tennis thread

Felix came up a bit short today in the final, but a fantastic week will see him ranked in the top 60 when the new rankings come out tomorrow.

I'm just posting this to wish Genie a happy 25th birthday.

Gonna have to update the title - It's an exciting time to be a tennis fan in Canada.

I should have waited before shelling out $13 to watch the semi-final on wtatv.com lol

Bianca takes the opening set 6-4. Keep it going.

Going to a third and deciding set as Kerber takes set 2 6-3. This has been a high quality match from both players.

Bianca does it!! Incredible tennis 6-4 3-6 6-4 over Kerber.

did i hear correctly, her ranking goes from 157 to 25?
maybe they were talking about on the season, or maybe no one outside of top 25 every wins

Love it for Bianca. Best tennis player to ever come out of Thornhill.

Back in late October of 2018, she was ranked in the 230's - Today, she's #24. She has been battling some injuries over the last couple of years (especially a back issue), but she certainly has been on the radar as an up-and-comer for the last couple of years.

I guess when you beat a three time major winner twice in a week, there's going to be some hard feelings. Supposedly, Kerber called Bianca a big drama queeen. Also, the handshake at the net was very frosty.

There’s a video. The only drama queen in the more seasoned professional not even looking an opponent in the eye after a loss.

Bianca retires today with a bum shoulder (it was bothering her throughout the match with Kerber).

This is ridiculous and Kyrgios could play Felix in the quarter-finals.

I don't know how many of you stayed up late to watch Tsitsipas - Shapo play until the wee hours of the morning in Miami, but it was one hell of a match that Denis won 4-6 6-3 7-6(5).
