As the Rogers Cup and Coupe Rogers kick into overdrive this weekend, we take the pulse of both events on social media. Here are our highlights. .
1. Best wishes to Romania’s Mihaela Buzarnescu, who injured her ankle pretty severely in Montreal and had to default against Elina Svitolina in the second round. Thankfully, no breaks, and hopefully she will be able to continue her torrid tennis when she returns to the court.
2. An inside look at the king of clay as he gears up in the locker room at Rogers Cup.
3. This has to be the best shot that Stan Wawrinka has hit all year—just perfect placement.
4. Unreal? Looks like orange is the color at this year’s U.S. Open. You guys in?
5. Looks like the kids really are alright on the ATP side. Three teenagers in the Top 50 for the first time in 10 years!
6. The Wimbledon finalists, aka “Djokerson” are also Rogers Cup doubles quarterfinalists. Can they go all the way?
7. You have your tattoos then you have your Sveta back tattoos. There’s a big difference, as you might be able to tell.
8. Roger back in the house at Cincinnati. He’s a seven-time champion at the Western and Southern Open. Will he make it eight next weekend?
9. When it comes to press conferences after a tough loss, Nick Kyrgios is very much still a work in progress.
10. And last but not least, a little FLYING RAFA to take you into the weekend. See you on the other side, errybody!
