Felix just took his match...came through in the 5th set with authority. Fernandez beat Osaka. Shap. Bianca. We're rolling. BM beat me too it but Golden age for Canadian Tennis. I missed the match but caught the highlights & a few of those drop shots Fernandez hit were beautiful. Two huge wins w/ FAA aswell. Watching Bianca a few years ago was the reason I became a Tennis fan, & now we have a number of amazing young players making their mark. Its an awesome sport. Excited for tommorrow, keep it rollin' Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lower floor though, which is why shapo can't seem to rise higher than 10 (fails to take advantage of his seeding) and FAA has lost all 8 finals in his career. Consistency and winning even on their bad days will give them more opportunities to break through on their good days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason people cheer more for his opponent's. Main reason is that Novak is from Eastern Europe. That's what it all really boils down to. Plus Roger and Rafa were the new superstars of that era and everyone wanted to see them playing in the finals. Novak ruined that by coming in and knocking them out.

Maybe its the fact that he and his mother flaunt their ridiculous religiuos beliefs as well. Tearing of his shirt to expose his cross ? Don't see Rafa or Roger indulging in those sort of actions. His mum stating God wanted him to win that final when he saved a few match points ? Personally I believe we are all human beings,I don't care what part of the planet one is from however religion has no place in sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right there with you on medicine,drug dope cheats should be expelled from the sports they participate in. Politics is somewhat different. One example is trump trying to shame the US women's soccer team. Megan in particular has the right to defend her life choices,she is not saying being lgbtti person makes her a better soccer player or is she using her sporting ability to promote her beliefs. Another is Sam Kerr,not only has she had to endure trolls abusing her for her life choices she is now copping flack for her team proudly standing behind our first nations peoples flag. They have stood many times in front of the Aussie flag why not first nations both could be construed as political statements. As far as I am concerned these issues are human rights issues,one in particular many of the followers of Novak and his mother's religion condemn.

Wow, I didn't realize you dislike him that much lol Djokovic has been getting booed by trashy tennis fans for a long time. It's understood that interrupting tennis players with jeers is taboo but for some reason it happens all the time for Novak. It makes his wins in the UK and USA even more impressive. I've actually never seen him tearing his shirt, you sure you're not thinking of Hulk Hogan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot I have to say about Denis' current playstyle, but the biggest thing I'd like to see from him is more patience and variety. He relies heavily on going for winners with very little margin for error and it leads to lots of hot and cold stretches in his form. Today he looked especially frustrated the whole match because things weren't clicking for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't post photos however there are plenty out there of him tearing his shirt off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennis is definitely mind over anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
