And really, it's the announcer's job. Then again, tennis loves to use volunteers so I'm not sure if the announcer is being paid enough to care. That was a good, mature match from Tiafoe. Any number of things could've been his undoing in this match (playing a Canadian in his home tournament, rain delay, etc.) but he didn't let it get the best of him. I hope he keeps going forward.

Probably not disrespectful. Unprofessional. Personally, I could do without the announcer cataloging the players tournament history during the warmup, the announcers usually don't get it right anway. Save that for the player compendium or something.

Not surprised, tbh. Kerber always seems to struggle in the wake of her biggest successes.

Yes, I remember we discussed it too in this thread. So far I'm seeing very little acknowledgement of that in the articles that are popping up. Only this, so far-

Sharice Davids won the Democratic primary in Kansas, beating out five other candidates. First Native American woman, LGBTQ candidate to run for Kansas Congressional seat. Kansas Dems choose Sharice Davids to challenge Rep. Kevin Yoder for seat in Congress

The chain of corruption continues to extend itself around the Trump regime.

I'm not expecting all the great things for FAA all in one tournament. I can see him having a better career than Dennis in the long run, if he stays healthy because his technique is so stellar and more importantly, his temperament is so even-keeled. I saw FAA in Croatia this year and his improvement from the last ATP tournament I saw him play last season at the tournament in Basel--leaps and bounds.

New trailer with Laura Harrier (Destiny, OLTL 2.0). Kind of nice to see both actresses who played Destiny doing things!

I know...I've been watching FAA for about two years now, lol. Still, at just 17 and 3/4, to do it in front of the home crowd is something special. Pouille is not known for his consistency and no, this has definitely not been his best season.

Felix Auger-Aliassime, who turns 18 tomorrow (same birthday as Federer) notched a win against his highest ranked opponent, Pouille, in straight sets in front of his Canadian home crowd!

People may not have realized that there was a protest in D.C. today.

Perhaps C-SPAN has issued a response by now.

Berdych, Raonic are Thiem are clients of Naor.

Speaking of sports-

Wow. Well, those ticket holders must've been pleased. Maybe if they speed up the effing hardcourts they might get some actual hardcourt tennis.

Wait, who won in San Jose? He's at it again.

Yeah, sometimes I forget that some of these names can be a mouthful. Being a longtime tennis fan has certainly helped me approach pronouncing names from all over the globe with gusto. Russian names aren't that bad for me, it's actually the Thai and Indonesian names that sometimes make me have to catch my breath.

I would never underestimate someone who has won 2 majors, especially 5 years apart.

For awhile, it seemed like people were still talking about Diana's even after the Mona Lisa opened? What happened to Diana's? Did it go under? Who owned it after Diana McColl skipped town?

I think so too. Scare tactics to raise cash a la GOP. Still, would that it were really true!
