I got ahead of myself on the scheduling.
Auger-Aliassime will play Novak Djokovic Wednesday not Sinner.
Still a tough match but he can legit win this one.

Summer McIntosh knocked off the longest standing women's world record. 200m butterfly previously set in 2009.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Really looking forward to seeing what she does in LA in '28.

Re: Good Canadian Kid
McIntosh withdraws from her last few competitions due to health and her coach wants her to now focus on preparing for the Pan Am Games.
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

Re: Good Canadian Kid
Felix Auger-Aliassime enters the final tennis major of the year, the US Open, as the 3rd ranked male (world #1 Janik Sinner is injured hence the elevation for Felix from his world rank of 4).
Highest Canadian men's seed ever in this tournament.
Milos Raonic was 5th seed twice a decade or so back.
Auger-Aliassime plays his first match tomorrow.
He has reached the semis twice the latest last year when he lost to Sinner.
Pretty heady stuff to be 3rd seed.
Other Canadians.
Denis Shapovalov, unseeded, won his first round match today.
Leylah Fernandez, seeded 31, won her first round match today.
She has actually made a final, in 2021, when she lost to Emma Radacanu.
As an aside Radacanu is as cute as a button.
The US Open can be a fun watch...it breathes a bit of New York and can get rowdy and intense.....
