RG: What a delight to watch Shapo-Misolic replay without commentary - just with your own thoughts. More important, Denis was greatly improved - rare looking at his box and temper mostly under control. Just 2-5 on European clay - prediction - he wins at least 8 matches on grass.

ROLAND GARROS '25. Back by popular demand: CRANKY TT. Just got home - Why, with two TSN channels available until 5 pm, (maybe the commitment to the upcoming Chatrier night match?) is Shelton - Gigante on both of them? Couldn't one be Tiafoe - Korda. It's frustrating.

ROLAND GARROS '25: A 'Popcorn' Philippe Chatrier Sunday. From 11 am (5 am ET Canada) #4 (4)Jasmine Paolini vs #14 (13)Elina Svitolina #5 (5)Iga Swiatek vs #11 (12)Elena Rybakina #2 (2)Carlos Alcaraz vs #13 (13)Ben Shelton. Night: #7 (8)Lorenzo MuZetti vs #10 (10)Holger Rune.

RG '25 One of the most brutal handshake misses in history. After a huge emotions match, Boisson smiles and is about to clasp hands with Pegula, TV cuts to a woman in the crowd. An abomination. When will there be an edict - focus on the players only until the end of the handshake!

RG 25: CRANKY TT Motto "La victoire appartient au plus opiniatre" ("Victory belongs to the most tenacious") is nonsense. Is Leylah Fernandez less tenacious than Sabalenka - no! AS is just better. Is Damir Dzumhur less tenacious than Alcaraz - no! CA is just better. End of story.

ATP 500 QUEEN'S CLUB: 2R Carlos Alcaraz defeats Jaume Munar 6-4, 6-7(7), 7-5 in three hours and 23 minutes - a long , hard match on grass. Afterward the 22-year-old Spaniard showed his increasing comfort in English, and his sense of humour, by signing camera as seen here.

ATP 500s - Queen's and Halle. Hearing from several fans that they are upset TSN is showing Halle not Queen's. Maybe while FAA and Denis were still in Halle, but Queen's is a superior event with no shadows on the court. It seems TSN used to show both - not sure why no longer.😠
