Bring back the US Open Series! The summer hard court swing continues on its confusing cadence. We spent a few nights at the National Bank Open in Toronto – James unwittingly sat in Iga Swiatek Country and witnessed her return to form (ok, I’ve already said too much). The other biggest stories in tennis these days are: Alex Eala, Rafa Jodar, injuries, and the innumerable opinions on the Williams sisters. Should Venus ******? Should Serena take that wild card? I don’t know man, I’m just trying to enjoy the waning days of summer <sob>. Finally, Nick Kyrgios got ahead of the story and announced that he’d tested positive for cocaine in Mallorca, which is a substance of abuse under WADA guidelines. This means if it’s in-competition: very very bad; out of competition: meh. 1:10 Our visit to the Canadian Open in Toronto 9:05 A few more ball kid photoshoots should do the trick 12:25 Jannik out, Carlos in as injuries derail the North American hot boy summer 18:45 Was the Serena comeback always a lark and we all just took it too seriously? 24:20 Checking in on Cincinnati 29:05 Kyrgios and cocaine: looking for empathy, not always finding it 45:00 Funny like I’m a clown?
