    I don't like Novak but I don't think it's strange at all. If anything I'm not sure why a professional tennis player needs anything for a match like that. Why would it not be on him already?

    Novak does the thing where he stops missing and breaks Daniil right back. 5-all.

    Well, you were only playing Australia... :awesomeface:

    Seriously though, congrats - I'm surprised it took so long for Canada's first title considering the talent of these 2 guys, but I guess it's only recently that Felix has gone to the next level.

    Yeah I don’t know too much about the young guys like others. I did see he ripped off three challenger tournament wins in a row though.

    I watch way too much challenger tennis because I bet it, he started off shaky in the first couple. Losing matches he shouldn’t have. Then went on the run. He got that amazing serve and killer forehand. I can’t wait to see how progresses.

    I've caught a lot of the UC over the past few days and Iga's ready to play the AO right now. I mean, she is ready to go. Whereas there are a bunch of guys in pretty scratchy form, like Zverev (understandable) and Rafa. I hope she can last the next 4 weeks and hasn't peaked way too early. :ohdear:

    Ha, a breadstick to Zverev against Fritz in the UC.

    I expect him to do better in the 2nd, but it's good to see. :yousoright:

    Rafa now 0-2 at United Cup, losing from a set up in both. Norrie and now De Minaur.

    I am at the juncture of the year where I consider a T+ subscription for the year. It’s affordable, I’ll watch it but ultimately they are such a shit channel I want no part in giving them money. It’s bad enough that it’s the only reason I have a TV package: I have to get on that Wendel site and just cast anything I want to watch.

    Also, I absolutely would never get a thing done, but a red zone like feed for the first few days of majors and even 1000s would be fantastic.
