Another great week for Laval's Alexis Galarneau - he upsets No. 1 seed Rinky Hijikata (No. 77) in straight sets to make the Acapulco Challenger semi.
Already almost guaranteed to be at a new CH come Monday.
If he wins his SF - he'd likely break the top 150 for the 1st time.

Handled on court today after her match.

The BJK Cup is on Tour.
Today's stop - the packed-out Bell Centre (21,105 !) for the women of the Montreal PWHL team for their match v Toronto.

Open court proceedings are crucial, especially in cases as significant as Najib's house arrest bid. Transparency and accountability pave the way for trust in the legal system. #NajibRazak #HouseArrest #OpenCourt #Transparency

Kostyuk taking that time for a pep talk from her coach.

Marta has entered the chat.

I mean, it's not THAT dire a situation.

And she crushes another one, that Zheng can't handle.

And, after ALL that, it's MP No. 1 for Kostyuk.

Stephanie Myles This is bizarre. Why are we paying huge sums of money for ‘tennis tv’ if we can’t watch the players we like?

The fee was increased at the beginning of the year.

Deirdre Smith Stephanie Myles Michael Dickens I've been seeing this in the ATP for a while now.

Stephanie Myles cool Europe until end of April, it seems meteo-express.com/article/la-fra…

Kostyuk has saved five MPs.
The last one, she about three lines.
Still GOING!

And a second serve on MP No. 2

Stephanie Myles Very true. A very poor performance from his opponent. The serve looks very compromised indeed.

Kostyuk doesn't think so. But she was apparently looking (through the eyes of love) at the wrong mark.

Stephanie Myles Even the challengers are streamed for free. I pay for tennis tv and can’t see a 250. Really frustrating

LOL.
That was great stuff.

Hopefully they saved some good drama for our MASSIVE tennis extravaganza Friday on TVA.

GB Stats They rounded up Jabeur's 1m67 to ... 5.6, even though 167 cm is about 5 feet, 4.8.

I think she's taller than 5-4 1/2, having stood next to her often.
But as you can see Vondrousova isn't *much* taller.

Kostyuk holds with an ace.
And now - in about a minute and a half, it's gone from Zheng having 5 MPS to Zheng ... having to hold serve to STAY in the match after being unable to hold serve to WIN the match.

It's 11:35 p.m. in Stuttgart. Lots of dramz today.
