–

Already the second week? Hardly seems possible.

But the singles is at the round-of-16 stage. And now it’s getting, as the immortal Williams sisters would say, “SEEEEEE-RIOUS”.

It’s also September. How is that possible?

An “expected” showdown between Tiafoe or Shelton with Djokovic turned into … Tiafoe vs. Montreal champion Alexei Popyrin. Won by the American.

Which could still be showtime.

Ruud – Fritz, Gauff – Navarro, Rublev – Dimitrov. Lots of good stuff in store.

And a very late finish for Zheng and Vekic, who played a terrific (if long) one.
