Brad Marchand Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 12 hours ago, ReggieBush said: 2nd biggest win of his career (after beating Fed at Wimbledon in 2016) Zverev has developed a bit of reputation as a grand slam underachiever. I'd say Raonic's 2nd biggest career win came against Wawrinka in the fourth round at the 2016 AO, who was also world #4 at the time but had won 2 grand slams up to that point.

RUPERTKBD Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Disappointing to see Raonic lose last night. Pouille was definitely a beatable opponent. When I tuned in it was looking good, (up 4-1 in the first) but it went south faster than Peter Chiarelli's tenure in Edmonton. I didn't watch the whole match, but from what I did see, he was off the form he had been showing up to that point. On the bright side, Serena lost as well, so it wasn't a total loss.

Brad Marchand Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Felix Auger-Aliassime just became the youngest player to advance to the final of an ATP 500 event. The match will be on TSN2 tomorrow at 12 pm PST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Bianca Andreescu started the year as the world #152. By advancing to the final of the BNP Paribas Open, she will be ranked at least #33 by Monday. She's 27-3 this season and is currently 6th overall in rank points earned this year. If you didn't know her name before, you really should now. Edited March 16, 2019 by Brad Marchand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing in the semi tomorrow to try to reach his 4th Masters 1000 final and 2nd at this tourny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's kind of funny that our top tennis players have names that are Russian, Montenegran and Romanian..... At least Felix has a Quebecois name.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Go Felix & Shap! Watching the "live results" ticker and it seems Felix just broke serve! Let's go!! I wish I could just watch sports all day for a living. Someone needs someone for that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Felix loses to Isner....disappointing, but not really a surprise. I'll be even less surprised if Shapo loses to Feds. Still, two Canucks in the semis speaks pretty well for the country, especially when neither of them is Milos...

canuckistani Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 This is first time since early 1990s that two teenagers from the same country has made the Semis of a ATP level tournament ( Sampras and Chang were the other teen duo from same nation, in 91 or 92 IIRC). From what i have seen of them so far, Felix's game is more well rounded than Denis's, though Denis definitely has bigger weapons in his arsenal as of now. Right now Felix is a poor man's Novak and Denis is a poor man's reverse Federer. Denis shows better focus on the big points, as Felix effectively beat himself against Isner.

Where's Wellwood Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 In the first grass tourney of the year, Felix and Raonic have made the semis and will play each other for a spot.in the final. H2H is 1-0 Raonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Federer, at age 37, reaches the final (yet again) at Wimbledon. He’s the best ever. But why aren’t the younger guys pushing him more? He’s like Laver and Rosewal for longevity. Might be a gap in top players coming up right now? Lots of young guys hit the ball a million miles an hour, but can they actually play tennis? Federer is a complete player. I like our young guy, Felix. He plays tennis the right way. He will win majors.

RUPERTKBD Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 A disappointing Wimbledon for Canadians. Especially since Bianca had to withdraw. The good news is, Serena lost to Simona Halep. I'm okay with Feds or Joker winning on the Mens side... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
