ATP M1000 Canada Open (Toronto) 2025

[onyxrose81]

I don't know if it's my imagination but it feels like our 1000 event gets skipped a lot by top players. I'm going back even 10 years ago on this.

It’s just too close if you go deep in Wimbledon unfortunately.

Embarrassing to let Khachanov beat you in a Masters Final. This is the lowest point in tennis history

Does this mean KK won?

Shelton cannot break serve to save his life so yes, at least he’s won the first set anyway.

Thanks.

Khachanov is a beast at BO5. Has this floor level that can be as high as a top 5 player in best of fives, at his very best. He's the second best Russian from the 90s after Medvedev IMO

[bw114]

Ugh Khachanov…what are you doing

 

[bw114]

Side note: I’m watching on TennisTV. Is there something about the angle/camera that’s slowing the ball down? Are both these guys just super timid because it’s a final? This looks like it’s being played at .85 speed

 

[Vincent-C]

KK serving at 5-6, deuce. Don't choke!

Do you say that because Khachanov beat Djokovic in the final of his only m1000 he won so far?

 

[Sudacafan]

Why is Shelton slicing so much?

 

[Vincent-C]

Why is Shelton slicing so much?

dork has a pretty good slice, really.

 

[Sudacafan]

WTF Khach that volley!

 

[bw114]

This has been a weird last 20 minutes of tennis. Each of them are trying to out choke the other

I don't know, I think it's a pretty high level match. This is as good as Khachanov has played in a long time.

 

[Sudacafan]

Brutal fh’s

 

[Vincent-C]

KK with set point on dork's serve, and takes it.

cool

 

[tx10is]

finally karen closes first set

 

[Al Czervik]

Ben's variety and defense is great right now. Karen just absolutely mashed several difficult groundies in the breaker.

 

[Sudacafan]

Khach takes the TB down from 3-5 to 7-5.
Shelton missed 3 SP’s earlier in the set.

 

[bw114]

I don't know, I think it's a pretty high level match.

I didn’t mean to say it was low-level, there were just some super strange cat-and-mouse points there toward the end. Shelton losing three set points, KK missing a ton of first serves, way more slice from Shelton than normal.

Definitely not a timid last four points from Karen!! Good finish.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Brutal fh’s

At 5-5 I think? That was massive.

 

[dking68]

Yessss big K. Im rooting for you

 

[MeatTornado]

I owe Karen an apology. I thought that set was dusted after he got broken serving for it. Expected him to lose in straights after that happened.

 

[Vincent-C]

I'd love to see Miloslav Mecir play these types, if he could be bothered. 62 63, go home- despite having essentially no serve.

 

[Sudacafan]

At 5-5 I think? That was massive.

I think later on. Can’t remember now, but it was a series of them, all in one point.

K is taking this title.

Djokovic is still embarrassed to this day

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Khachanov wins one of the luckiest points I’ve ever seen

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Dafuq is going on, can someone explain?

 

[Al Czervik]

This is a mess with the line system processing info, but no audio.

 

[Al Czervik]

Dafuq is going on, can someone explain?

The ump says the system is making the calls internally, but the audio is not delivering the result.

The audio on the line calling was out.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

So just like me in my 3.5 league

 

[bluetrain4]

It really didn't have to be if the ump is still getting the redlight on his tablet and he can just call it. But, the players didn't seem convinced and the ump seemed to be caught between continuing calling it himself and waiting for audio to be fixed.

Strange things often happen to umpires.

Immaculate bait

Sleepy.. will check the score tomorrow

He lost to Evan’s last year in five at what was/is the longest USO match ever, 5 hrs and 35 minutes. It tested my bladder as well. If you left from the 4th on it was hard to get back into the smallish court 6. The combination of heat and earlier Honey Deuces made it grueling for players and spectators alike.

 

[Third Serve]

nice dropper lol

I said when he's at his best. Noted what I said. When hes playing at his best his floor is a top 5-8 level in BO5. Will get to QF comfortably

I know, it just reminded me of the match. I feel that spectators don’t get enough credit for going five sets. They should maybe be awarded points and some prize money too maybe tied to the level of heat and humidity. This is not yet a fully fleshed out idea.

 

[bw114]

Poor from Karen there/nice serving from Ben. But that final game—the whole set, really—highlights my frustration with Shelton. He’s constantly trying to be this all-court variety Alcaraz-archetype of player when he does not have the natural talent/touch to do it. He’s a strong athletic kid who should just grit his teeth and embrace playing from the baseline and hitting it big off both wings when the opportunity emerges, not try to carve a drop +1 when he has a fairly easy putaway

 

[bw114]

So just like me in my 3.5 league

Made me lol

Honestly a side effect of this god awful two-week format more than anything else

I totally agree. This whole scheduling is insanely stupid.
