Courier is the one who gets into that. But, they have pretty much had Mary Carillo and Blake doing split screen on Toronto and Montreal, so not a lot of that talk.

It looks like the chicks are using Wilson balls. Not sure about the men, but I remember it was always a big deal that the Masters used Penn, but the U.S. Open is Wilson.

I seem to remember you making some good points about how weird Toronto was last year -- that it was excessively slow or something.

Cincy is usually considered one of the quickest, so I am sure we will get a lot of that chatter next week.

Something was way out of whack for sure. I think the consensus was that the balls were terrible. That was in Toronto, though, since they alternate every year.

Until last year I always thought Penn ATP balls were used at all Masters events, but I guess that's not the case.

"Penn ATP World Tour tennis balls are the #1 choice of ATP players and the official ball of the ATP World Tour, used in 4 out of the 5 largest tournaments in North America"

Canada

ETA: Wait US Open is the one that uses Wilson, so I don't know. Maybe I'll research a little.
