I'm wondering why you're travelling with your wife and infant son while contracting COVID-19 is a real possibility and having to quarantine for 14 days is also looming. I mean, Denis gets it...

There's a chance for an all-Canadian final in St. Petersburg on Sunday as Denis will take on Andrey Rublev in one semi-final while Milos will play Borna Coric in the other semi-final early Saturday morning.

/Felix is into the semi-finals in Cologne (also known as Koln) Germany

No all-Canadian final as Shapo loses to Rublev in three sets. Milos about to start his match against Coric.

Update:

Shapo loses in three sets
Milos loses in three sets
Felix wins in three sets.

/Russia bad, Germany good

Felix loses 6-3 6-3 to Zverev - He's now 0-6 in career ATP finals.

/Still only 20 years old, but he needs to get rid of that goose egg.

Another injury for Milos

Raonic (abdomen) drops out in Belgium - TSN.ca

Canada's Milos Raonic has withdrawn from the European Open because of an abdominal strain. The No. 5 seed, from Thornhill, Ont., was scheduled to face No. 4 seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria in a quarterfinal at the ATP Tour 250 hard-court event on Friday.

by the way, when I played tennis the other week, there was an instructor in the next court who looked exactly like Milos from the Seinfeld episode.
it was distracting.

Felix is into the semi-finals in Germany for the second week in a row - He takes on Diego Schwartzman on Saturday.
