The gap in talent/skill between the Europe team and the World team was too much to overcome, ultimately. McEnroe's coaching is a big reason why World was even in it, he manipulated the match-ups well and went all-in with his best pairing (Isner and Sock) to open Day 3.

The entire top 15 are out of Wuhan before the QFs, that's pretty crazy.

This is an interesting time of year. Lots of the top players who played heavy schedules are fatigued or maybe injured.

Reminds me of last year when Jack Sock ran through a super-weak field to win the Paris Masters.

How long until Serena calls it quits? I can see her AT least playing until 2020. She has zero form this year and made two straight slam finals. I bet she sticks around two try and beat courts record.

Remember that Svitolina pic from above? She was up 6-0, 4-1 today & lost.

There’s not a lot of secrets. I know how other players play – I don’t pay that much attention, but obvious things are obvious of course,” she told Tennismash at the China Open.

“I think also physically she looks different, she lost a lot of weight. And definitely from what I could observe she’s not physically at her best. You can see also with the points and when I try to open her up, she’s definitely one step far from the ball.

“So of course I’m aware of it, I see the way she looks, so I see that she’s not as fit as last year.

“So I mean you can talk about things, or you don’t talk about these things. But some things are obvious and of course we see each other every week, so it’s inevitable for us to see some changes and hear what’s going on.”

- Aleksandra Krunic on Elina Svitolina

 

That is not good.

Do you really give a shit about this exhibition? This is like the Hopman Cup & that dumbass fail in fucking India. 
Not only did I care, but I bought expensive seats and flew to Chicago for all three days. It was extremely worth it. Almost every match went to sudden death it was so exciting. Already thinking about going to Geneva next year and making some plans with new friends I made at this one.

Angie got bageled in the third by a scrub, Sabalenka just did the same to Garcia. 

Naomi & Sabalenka are just crushing girls these days. 

Yes they are I love it. Those 2 will be competing for many many grand slams for years to come barring injuries

Ridiculous to even vote before the Finals. 
Literally no matter what happens, halep finishes as ye#1 for the second year in a row, over 52 straight weeks in the spot. Hard to imagine what someone could do to have had a better year than her at this point.

It’s up there, but there’s a tournament on the men’s tour that has a court that’s literally grey scale. I remember last year catching a match on TV and briefly thought I was watching a match from 50 years ago with black and white cameras

DelPo is out of Shanghai, retired with a knee injury. 

More bad luck.

Juan Martin del Potro has fractured his right patella bone in what the Argentine called "a hard blow that leaves me without strength."

Del Potro retired Thursday against Borna Coric at the Shanghai Masters after injuring his knee. Third-seeded Del Potro fell near the end of the first set. The U.S. Open finalist had the knee wrapped but called it quits after losing the first set 7-5.

Tests on Saturday showed the fracture, Del Potro's spokesman Jorge Viale tweeted Sunday.

"In the coming days, the doctors will evaluate the recovery process needed to return," Viale said.
