Wimbledon draw is out. Dom gets a pretty favorable draw.

1st match vs American Reilly Opelka. Opelka claim to fame is mostly that he is 6'11" (tied for tallest tennis player, ever). A foot taller than Dom. Opelka is ranked #32 and Dom about #50. Opelka has never advanced past the 3rd round of a major.

If he wins that, he'll face someone ranked lower than he in the 2nd round.

Win that and he'll likely get the Spaniard, Agut, ranked #9 and would be very tough in the 3rd Round. Upset Agut and prolly get Russian Shapovalov, 4th round.

Dom also entered in Men's Doubles with a Lithuanian partner.

Is not Shapvolov in fact the Israeli young man that plays for Canada?

[dpm wave]

you're correct. I just went by the sound of his name without checking.

Dom takes care of Opelka in str8 sets.

Hard fought win over South Korean Soowoo Kwon. Kwon had advanced to the finals of a Wimbledon warm-up tourney just last week. Dom was up 5-0 in the 3rd and then lost 6 straight games before forcing and winning a tiebreaker.
Kwon won the 4th set 5-7 and then the players had to battle the impending darkness.
Dom won the 5th 6-3 and will face another tough matchup in Agut. The winner of their match will face the Murray/Shapovalov match

Hopefully, he won't extend himself too much in doubles tomorrow.

After a another late long close doubles match last night, Dom goes down in 3 sets to the #8 seed.
About a $150K payday for singles.
The big price jumps to the 4th Round and QF may influence Dom's decision to continue playing doubles in Majors.

Dom wins tie breaker to upset Andy Murray in 1st round of Rolex Paris Masters. He had to qualify to get in the 64 player bracket. I think Dom may be the only Current Top 25-50 player to have taken sets from Dok, Nadal and Mededev?

Dom takes the first set 6-4 but loses to the No. 7 seed on the round of 16 at Paris Masters ATP.
Remember he had to play the qualifiers rounds to get to the main draw.

Dom won an ATP Challenger tourney in Calgary just 2 months ago.
But, did not enter the Aussie Open due to undisclosed injury

Wow thx!

Live now on ESPN. Unfortunately Dom rolled his ankle in warmups and is trailing 2-1 in the first set.

[tpstulane]

Dropped the first set 6-2

[tpstulane]

Dom retires in the 2nd set trailing 3-2. His ankle gave him problems.
Injury forfeiture I guess.

[winwave]

Sorry to hear that. Keep hoping for him to breakthrough.
