RUPERTKBD Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Shapo is in the Wimbledon semis! He came back from down 2 sets to 1 to beat Russian Karen Khachanov in 5. This sets up a showdown with Novak Djokovic on Friday. Meanwhile, Felix is tied at a set apiece with Matteo Berrettini of Italy in his quarterfinal match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Tough the way Shapo lost the first set but gave Djokovic a great battle the whole way through. Saw his emotion walking off the court but he'll be back Edited July 9, 2021 by Smashian Kassian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilunga Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Ash is one the most humble down to earth people you will meet. At Roland Garros she practiced with Naomi Osaka which is very rare,2 players at their level practicing together. Below is an article about her tribute to one of our first nations sport champions back when there were hardly any. https://www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/hidden-detail-behind-ash-bartys-wimbledon-outfit/news-story/1cdc37e10aa006ea5ff84bd01f5a448d Go Ash Edited July 10, 2021 by Ilunga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Canadian tennis is so good right now. Felix just took his match...came through in the 5th set with authority. Fernandez beat Osaka. Shap. Bianca. We're rolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stihlman65 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Felix and our young teenage phenome Hernandez from Montreal won tonight. Four Canadians going to the fourth round at the US Open is just so awsome for Canada tennis, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Leylah hasn't been getting the same amount of attention as Felix, Denis, and Bianca, so it's great to see her have a signature moment of her own. This is Canada's golden generation of tennis players, each of them 22 and under as well. Many great years ahead for all of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
