Nice win for Milos today (completion of a suspended match due to darkness) over Nick Kyrgios (6-7, 6-4, 6-4) at the AEGON Championships in London (grass tuneup for Wimbledon).

Rats, Milos won the first set today in a tie-breaker and was up 3-0 in set 2, but Andy Murray rallied to win the match. Set scores were 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-3. Still, some pretty good tennis from Milos today, but he should be kicking himself for not finishing the deal.

As a degenerate who may or may not bet on this sport, I cannot say I even considered donating a couple of dollars on Marcus Willis. I may or may not throw down on his next match to at least take a set off Roger, however.

Vasek eliminated in the first round, he was inside the top 30 in men's singles a couple of years ago, now he's struggling to stay inside the top 100.

I don't get it, I was told by many people that Raonic was garbage, and Vasek had the much brighter future.

Oh I think you get it :D

/Vasek has battled some injury issues and he with doubles partner Jack Sock have a bright future on the men's doubles scene. Obviously, Vasek is having trouble getting his singles game together. As far as Milos is concerned, I think people grossly under-estimate how much work he has put in to improve his fitness, footwork, and ground strokes over the last couple of years.

I think Vasek is a good young player, and can rebound. But unless you are a top-10 all-around talent in your generation, I think a guy like Raonic, with a limited arsenal but a few big weapons, has a better chance of stealing a major in his career.

Genie's looking good, oh and her tennis game appears to be back. Round 3 tomorrow, hopefully she'll win that to get to the Round of 16.

Raonic is doing good as well.

Isner's got a thing for those ridiculous marathon sets.
And presumably will be easy pickings now for his next opponent
