Good upset win for Vasek yesterday. He has world #73 Tennys Sandgren in Round 2.

TSN5 will have the Shapo - Monfils match at 7 PM Eastern time - It should be a dandy.

She plays Taylor Townsend on Monday who beat Simona Halep in round 2. If she can get by Townsend, the draw has really opened up for her to make a deep run.

Opening set goes to Shapo in a tie-breaker.

Too bad for Denis, but he played a heck of a match. Monfils was just a little better.

Great win by Bianca tonight in a hostile environment. It wasn't a Davis Cup match between Canada and the States, but it sure sounded like it at times.

Should be a good match this morning as Matteo Berrettini of Italy takes on Gael Monfils of France - Doesn't have quite the luster of a Italy - France soccer match, but it should be entertaining as heck.

This one went the distance including a 5th set tie-breaker which Berrettini won 7-5. I can't remember the last time an Italian was in a grand slam semi-final, so good for Matteo.

lol - Cecchinato was in the French Open semi-final last year, but aside from him, it's been a while.
