    Med won the first, lost the 2nd set in a tight 8-6 breaker and then just randomly retired. WTF.

    Novak looks so confused still post-match.

    Coco-Andreescu is really fun. Traded 6-4 sets, headed to a 3rd on TC.

    JJ Wolf is now at a Career High 63. With a win over Ymer tomorrow, would jump to 56

    Good for him

    JJ Felix for the title tomorrow.

    Also, watching Alycia Parks. If she can some consistency, she is a force. One of the best serves ive seen on the WTA

    Felix goes up a break in the first game. JJ got some nerves obviously.

    2 titles on the year for Felix. Very good chance to make the ATP finals now.
    Watching him yesterday against Musetti and today, he looked very very good

    Yeah, that's pretty poor. I can't imagine any of the other major tennis nations not giving one of their long term players a decent farewell.

    Posted this in the gambling thread but its good here too

    Tennis is by far the most corrupt sport :roll:

    Laaksonen in a challenger tournament today, in the FINALS, retired when the other guy had match point. Most books, for tennis action to be graded a win/loss, have to go the distance. So if someone retires before the match is complete, there its a canceled bet
