Sloane handles it, Danielle/Shelby on now. 

[Napoleon 8660]

I wonder if there is anyone who pulls for Collins.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

She’s one of my favorites. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Dani gets Sloane next, let’s ride. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Good effort from Sock, but Nadal wins in 3. At least he's ranked in the top 200 again. US Open might give him a wildcard

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Ajla/Yulia up soon, that won’t suck. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Rafa bounced out of DC. 

Sloane v. Danielle on TC here shortly. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

21-minute bagel for Dani over Konjuh. 

Winner gets Kasatkina tomorrow for the title. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

McDonald/Sinner early in 3rd on TC, screwing my Dani/DasKa final that’s just underway.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Sinner is choking this all the fuck away. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Sinner finally the winner. 

 

Dani up a set & 3-1. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

34-6 in winners currently. Ouch. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Well, the Dani train wheels have come off. She's pissed at everyone & everything now. This third could go any number of different ways. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Ha, I posted that ^ at 4-0 DasKa in the breaker, 6-all now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Whoa, DasKa saves 5 MPs, wins the breaker at 10. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Over, two pretty dominant tourneys in a row for Dani. 

 

Montreal starts tomorrow. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Montreal draw

Bianca & Simona are back, for a match or two at least. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Hey Anisimova got a win today.

Yeah it was due to her opponent retiring but she’ll take it

[perfectchaos007 6621]

 

3 retirements in 8 matches so far. The heat in Canada must be brutal 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

3 & 3 in a little over an hour for Keys to get sent home by Rebecca Marino, a chick that’s retired like 3 different times. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

The limp is funny. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Rafa withdraws from Toronto. 

Bianca up next on TC.

Simona/Danielle underway, surely TC will switch from Coco/Potapova. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Oh they switched alright, to fucking Tiafoe/Shapovalov. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Dani breaks at love to force a decider. 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

Miss Sunshine completes the comeback over Halep. She'll play the billionaires daughter next round

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Dani’s sick run continues, survives Simona in a badass 10th game.

More descriptive than Hemingway in his prime.

This told me WHO was playing, HOW they did, and a general take on players on the tour.

Love this.

👍 👍 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Let me tell ya bout Genie 

 

[perfectchaos007 6621]

She was a great addition to TC, and not JUST as eye candy. She’ll be back

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Aryna just fucking murdered that shitty Canadian.  

[satyanash 14473]

Pretty cool visualization of the Big Three in majors from Reddit

[Napoleon 8660]

WTA 

Jabeur vs Andreescu just starting.

My guess is that the Romanian-Canadian will be the crowd favorite.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Welp, Bianca is about to withdraw again. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

She didn’t withdraw (yet), but we’re finally playing 3. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Breadstick by Jabeur ends it. 

[Napoleon 8660]

Andreescu cheating like a mother fucker having a full-on coaching session as she acts like she's drying off the handle of her racquet. 

She should have at least been docked a point (because she'd already received coaching before) and maybe a game considering she was chatting away, not just getting a quick tip like "backhand" or "press".

Glad to see Ons Jabeur send her home.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Dani forces 3 yet again, this time against Pegula.

The Billionaires’ daughter snuffs out Miss Sunshine at about 1:34am Montréal local time to put an end to the sunny run. 

Side Note: Serena ain’t ever winning another major.

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Aryna rolled up Vika earlier, Karolina just did the same to SST. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Hot Camila/Coco on now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Not the prettiest stats you’ll ever see. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

This was pretty cool live. You see a lot of tweeners, very few of them actually do shit. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Another WTA-special, Pegula over Jabeur. 

1-6, 7-6, 6-0 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Impressive ‘handshake‘ from Tiger Queen earlier. 

 

And Opelka just beat Tsitsipas to make the Toronto final. 

Hot Camila v. Pegula next. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15944]

Camila delivers a third set breadstick. Tomorrow’s final will not feature many long rallies. 

[Napoleon 8660]

WOMEN:

I really appreciate how K. Pliskova is able to pound the shit out of the ball without wailing until her opponent is starting her swing.

Although I would love to slather Sabalenka in oil and wrestle her for a while, her screeching and awful attitude gives Serena a run for the Big C crown.

Pliskova really turned it on at Wimbledon and seems like a favorite heading into the US Open and Giorgi seems to be on an amazing run of form. She's battled through plenty of highly ranked opponents this week.

MEN:

Any day that Isner loses is a good day for the sport, but Isner Jr. beating Tsitsipas is a surprise. Balding Stickman Russian will have to have his return game going tomorrow, but once we get past serves, there is no comparison in the talent. (But I would have said the same against Tsitsipas.)
