What's with the pink shoes?

Milos dunking was pretty good. Guy is a heck of a tennis player and seems like a cool guy as well.

Hows that adductor milos
?

let me guess ... he aggravated his adductor on this dunk lol

Canada will be without top singles player Milos Raonic and doubles ace Daniel Nestor for a Davis Cup tie this week against France.


Tennis Canada says Raonic, ranked 13th in the world in singles, is still recovering from a adductor tear suffered in the semifinals of the Australian Open.

Ugh, well back to the play-in tourney for Canada as far as Davis Cup is concerned.

Aww man rip bud collins

That's sad news, Bud was great with Dick Enberg when viewing "Breakfast at Wimbledon"

No surprise that France leads 2-0 over Canada in the Davis Cup tie, Monfils beat Dancevic and Simon defeated Pospisil (both in straight sets).

WTA news - Genie made it all the way to the Malaysian Open final, but lost a tough 3 set match. Also, Maris Sharapova has failed a drug test at the Aussie Open and is suspended until further notice.

 

[tducey]

Heard about that, very interesting news there Re:Sharapova. Oh and good to see Genie make another final. Not good to hear that she had concussion symptoms in the match though.

Yeah, that is a tad worrisome.

it was legal up until January, but they should have known about it since september.
Will be interesting to see how prevalent it is in the KHL.

that stuff is manufactured by a company who's CEO owns a team.
(not sure which one).

Milos is back and making some noise at the ATP 1000 series event in Indian Wells, he just defeated Tomas Berdych in straight sets (6-4, 7-6) to advance to the quarter-finals.

Milos versus Monfils tonight in the desert (should start about 7 pm Pacific). Monfils is always fun to watch.

 

[tducey]

That should be a good match too. Good to see Raonic back and looking to be in top form.

 

[Dacks]

Nice to see Milos rebound quickly from injury. Hopefully he can carry his play forward.

straight sets

Should get into the finals considering he's playing his first 1000 semifinal.

Yeah but Goffin is a really fast runner.

/Easily a loss for Milos
