The KGB clearly got to Kachanov and they just made a fortune.

6-2 6-4 pretty convincing.

Tomic loses 6-1, 6-0 to Norrie. Good week for him and gets him to around 150 on the rankings.

De Minuar double faults on a match point, leading 5-2 in the second set, against Norrie, in Montreal, and then loses the match.
A bad loss there.

He’s basically a poor man’s David Ferrer. Solid player who will grind and chase and hustle and make squillions doing so but when the pressure is dialled right up either his game or his nerve will be found wanting.

Not good because it’s a match day positive test. Kyrgios is looking at multiple years suspension.

”I’ll do the work and come back better”

Yeah .. right.

I doubt Nick really gives a fark.

His quotes in the article would indicate he does, and he is experiencing regret about the end of his tennis career, not just regarding this positive test.

In Cinci

De Minaur has a meek exit to Fils 6-3 6-4
And Connell out to Fritz 6-4 6-4
