Sinner and Alcaraz are in the house. Djokovic is not. Sabalenka skipped Montreal, but is there.

I'm mostly starting the thread because of the $260 million renovation. The players seem to be blown away. Any of you baws going this year? If so, please report back.

Sinner and Tommy P won easily today. Davidovich-Fokina was just up 7-6, 4-0 on Fonseca. He lost the next five games and withdrew. This guy is jinxed.

Unfortunately, it's all Tennis Channel. Not sure what the availability is on the streaming platforms. I'm still on boomer cable.

IMO tennis channel has the best coverage/commentators of any sport.

Tracy Austin is an excellent commentator.

Not sure what others opinions are of Courier, but I'm a big fan. Combination of super knowledgeable, not afraid of saying something moderately negative about a player, but always professional.

Agreed I much prefer their coverage over ESPN's.

If you have any money in one of the sportsbook apps (even $1) you can stream in the app. I like BetRivers because it has a full screen option and you can mute it if you want to keep it on in the background.

No commentary though, just on court and crowd noises.

Anybody else watching this Alcaraz vs Zverev semi? Zverev should just retire instead of staying out there in this condition. It is unprofessional the way he is playing.

Is he tired? I saw some message board comments that Sinner and Altmane were a mess in the second set. But, that was a day match.

I don't know exactly what's going on but he stopped trying about 5 games ago

Yesterday he had to do breathing treatments mid match against Shelton. Today he was sweating profusely and had to take a medical timeout in the locker room mid match.

He’s diabetic, so that’s a thing. I feel bad for him.

Sinner and Carlitos playing on a Monday kind of sucks. I know this is the normal schedule for Cincy but it’s stupid.

Sinner and Alcaraz are on in a half hour. Too bad I have work stuff.

Sinner retired while losing at 5-0 first set. Something is wrong with him.

A Monday final at 3 ET that ends with a retirement. Complete disaster for tennis.

If you're not acclimated, the humidity in the United States probably makes it unbearable if you're already not feeling well.
