[pepsi]

Weakest masters field I can recall.

 

[Gigantic]

Kyrgios loses first set 7-6

 

[Firestarter]

Won the second. About to lose the third and thus the match if he doesn't break.

Oh Nick ...

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

...and he's out.

Lost in three sets to Denis Shapovalov who is ranked #370 and only 17 years old.

Disgusting effort from Nick, he didn't want to be out there. I've defended him quite a bit here but that was just horrendous, I can't blame that on the anti-Kyrgios bias. Guess it's up to him on his effort. Honestly, shapovalov must of been thanking his lucky stars, any chance of him choking was snuffed out by Nick's non-effort.

Tomic's effort was questionable today too. He won at least.

Sam got the win too as well today over Watson which is a nice effort.

Bahahaha

If he doesn't want to be out there then why not withdraw in the first place? [EDIT: OK, It's mandatory but still ...] Why turn up only to 'serve' up this crap? This is indefensible.

He had a great chance to capitalize on a weak field and build steam towards the USO w/o the Olympics getting in the way and instead he jumps the shark.

Even the other head-case Dimitrov won. And that perennial underachiever Ryan Harrison. He won too. RYAN F***ING HARRISON WON. R U KIDDING ME?

Weakest masters field I can recall.

because of the Olympics

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman retired hurt from his match in the second set. Left wrist injury, seemed to have it from the first game.

Dasha and Sam through to second round.

Edit: Dasha beaten by Halep in straight sets.

 

[ozgamer]

Nick won his doubles match (so much for going home). Admittedly he's partnered with Jack Sock who is normally partnered by Pospisil but is currently partnering compatriot Daniel Nestor [EDIT: obviously practicing for Olympics] who are funnily enough Nick and Jack's next opponent.

 

[The City Boyz]

Hope JM is OK!

 

[Gigantic]

Check out this play by Nick

[PonsfordMagpie]

Djokovic and Halep are the winners in Canada.

 

[Firestarter]

Djokovic and Halep are the winners in Canada.

Two of my favourite male players were in the final so I couldn't lose.
