OT: The Tennis thread

Bianca is into the Rogers Cup final on Sunday and awaits the winner of Serena Williams and Marie Bouzkova

Career WTA titles:

Bianca Andreescu - 1
Serena Williams - 72

Serena retires due to injury after only four games. Not sure what happened, but Bianca is your champion.

How angry would you be if you shelled out that amount of money to see only four games?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Serena have dinner with Milos yesterday?

Congrats to Bianca on her win.

Does she think 34 other women besides Serena bowed out?

Or does she think she could win a match or two.

Not sure which belief would be more sad.

She did follow it up with this tweet...


Social media - It's serious business.

It did seem like she was downplaying Andreescu's accomplishment somewhat.

Which is why, of course, you never tweet.

You know, if Felix had Milos' serve, he would be unstoppable. 10 double faults in today's loss.

I'll be at Hollyburn on Wednesday...

 

[tducey]

Yeah, Bouchard seems to tweet before she thinks sometimes. She gets a bit of flak for not taking tennis serious enough which I disagree with. Still she comes across as downplaying what Bianca did which is unfortunate.

Canadian updates from the US Open:

Bianca won
Vasek is in the 5th set against Khachanov
Denis is up a set and leading set 2 against Felix
Brayden Schnur is down two sets against Benoit Paire

 

[dash]

Felix in deep doo doo as Denis has win the first two sets by identical 6-1 set scores.

 

[dash]

Vasek up a break leading 4-2 in set 5. Come on Pops!

One service hold away leading 5-2

 

[dash]

Woot!! Vasek wins 4-6 7-5 7-5 4-6 6-3 and sends the 9th seeded Khachanov packing.

 

[dash]

Straight sets win for Shapo over Felix 6-1 6-1 6-4. Felix has been struggling the last little while and Shapo had a good tourney in Cincy last week.

Woot!! Vasek wins 4-6 7-5 7-5 4-6 6-3 and sends the 9th seeded Khachanov packing.
