What a comeback by Cash/Glasspool in the Toronto final against Salisbury/Skupski. They saved 4 MPs, including 3 consecutive ones starting at 6-9 in the final set superTB.

Unluck for Salisbury/Skupski, but it was a great tournament by them as well. They defeated the world #1s Arevalo/Pavic in 3 sets on their way to the final.

The final had a very good quality by both pairs, it was only the very crucial moments at the end of the match that turned out to be decisive. Cash/Glasspool clutched there insanely.

 

Cash and Glasspool are now #1 in the Live Race and are the first doubles team to qualify for the ATP Finals. They've gelled together very well as a team, winning the title in Tokyo last September in only their 2nd tournament together. They're not so good on clay but they've had a crazy good winning streak in the last 5 tournaments of this year: final in s'Hertogenbosch, followed by titles at Queens, Eastbourne, Wimbledon, and now Toronto.

It was an exciting end to yesterday's final, with some very clutch play, as @FilipoSVK said. I really wish I could get behind Cash/Glasspool more, because they were the first all-British men's doubles team to win Wimbledon in almost a century, etc. and they seem perfectly nice, but I just don't feel it for them. Fandom is a funny thing sometimes.

Here's a video clip of one of the points of the match, a winner from Cash from about as far out wide as you can imagine.

 

22-0 run for Cash/Glaspool? Astonishing. Especially that with these decisive third set TBs, things can quickly go the other way.

Musetti and Sonego make the semis

 

Ram/Mektic in Cincinnati 1000 final. I think this may be the first time they are playing together as a team. Good for them.

 

Team LORENZO makes it! Crazy TB, the Italians we're up 9-5. Musetti hit a 2nd serve ace at 11 all.

Hope Musetti will carry momentum in singles too for USO.

 

The LORENZOs win the first set! Musetti carried Sonego through the first, he was majestic at the net and served great even with his second.

Forza! 🇮🇹 Win the title

 

Lost. Sonego, you bum. Ram and Mektic raised their level, congrats. 👏🏻

 

 

Great guy unlike Fish

 

US Open 2025 draw is out.
In the live ranking, Lammons is out of the top 100. Withrow is 93. They have semi-final points to defend.

 

Wimbledon finalists Hijikata/Pel out against Nys/ERV.

Watching Ho/Jebens lose to Boyer/Nava at the moment.

 

top seeds out in the first round.

 

Absolutely shocking. To Galloway?! Can't compute.

 

How tf did Cash/Glasspool lose to Erler/Galloway? Huge upset.

 

Jebens remains one of the most limited doubles players I have ever seen. He is all power and nothing else. Ho is actually skilled at the net and could have a decent career, but he needs to find a good partner.

4-4 in the final set now.

 

I watched him with Haase a bit. When Jebens was hitting his first serves it went quite well but when someone was able to return to his backhand it was a big issue

Haase now plays with the former partner of Jebens

 

Ho and Jebens win. I don't think they deserved to, but oh well.

 

Can Goffin/Muller get fined plz?

 

They tanked?

Ebden/ Thompson losing to Drzewiecki/Willis

 

So firs seeds are out, third seeds are out and second seeds (Arevalo/Pavic) are down a set..

 

Crazy results. But it's good to see Haase ditched Jebens and is now playing with Frantzen.

Arevalo/Pavic did end up winning, but even that scoreline against Hidalgo/Kadhe is embarrassing.

 

Bad loss for Arends/Johnson to Etcheverry/Ugo Carabelli.

Johnson's first match in a while though. Too rusty, I guess.

 

Frantzen/Haase saved 3 matchpoints against Heliovaara/Pattern and won (1 on Pattern serve)

Frantzen/Haase saved 2 matchpoints against Luz/Olivetti and won (1 on Olivetti serve).Olivetti missed a sitter on that matchpoint. Earlier Olivetti got broken serving for the match, couple double faults and a Haase return winner on breakpoint.

R3 Ugo Carabelli/ Etcheverry - Frantzen/Haase for a place in the quarterfinals. Big opportunity for both teams

 

A lot of upsets at this year's USO.

 

Should have seen that Olivetti miss at matchpoint. He had a big serve, moved forward to finish the forehand (from really close to the net) and he swinged it long

 

Just watching the Schnaitter/Wallner replay.
Erler/Galloway played great to break for 6-5 in the 3rd.
Galloway serving for the match, 30-15, then 2 DF, then a horrible volley.
After some more double-faults from Galloway and Erler, Schnaitter/Wallner 8-2 up in the MTB.
Then Schnaitter drops both his serves but they break again for 9-5.
Then Wallner drops both of his serves, one of them with a DF and it goes to 9-9.
The Erler hits another DF, the worst of them all - several metres long.
Then Sch/W finish it off nicely.

 

wow

 

Yeah Arevalo/Pavic out and Bolelli/Vavassori close to lose as well

 

Matej Vocel is still in this tournament. Lol.

 

hero.

 

Quarterfinals

Granollers/Zeballos - Salisbury/Skupsi would be the logical final but so far this tourmament is far from logical

 

The bottom half still has three good teams left.

I'm rooting for Granollers/Zeballos (or Frantzen/Haase) vs Bhambri/Venus. Though Vocel winning a Slam title while being ranked outside the Top 100, being too heavy for a professional athlete, and being on a losing streak with some really bad losses would be very funny.

 

I just realized that this was only the first Grand Slam tournament that Marcus Willis has played outside of Wimbledon.
