De Minaur wins Washington, Fokina comes up short again, big names skip Canada, Scheffler wins British Open
Advantage ConnorsShow Notes
Jimmy and Brett are back to discuss last weeks Washington results.
Alex de Minaur saved 3 championship points to capture his first title of the season in dramatic fashion.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina played great tennis all week beating two top ten players along the way to the final. But could not close the match out losing 3 championship points to the Australian. This isn't the first time this has happen to the Spaniard this year.
Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic, Draper and Sabalenka all decided to skip the Canadian Masters this week. This draws more attention to the fact of how long the tennis season really is and the demands it puts on the tops players who go deep every week.
Scottie Scheffler did it again, won a big golf tournament. This time across the pond at the British Open defeating the rest of the field by at least 4 shots to pick up his 4th major so far.
