Italy wins the #DavisCup again! Spain's Jaume Munar gave it his all, including the most spectacular serve and volley anyone this side of Roger Federer has ever seen, but didn't have quite enough to overcome Flavio Cobolli and the home crowd in Bologna. What a week! 💪🇮🇹🎾

I'm going to try to cheer you up just a bit by telling you that you sold another one. 💪📖🎾

Carlos Alcaraz completes the straight set win over Lorenzo Musetti and locks up both a berth in the #ATPFinals semi and, more importantly, year-end world no. 1. And a nice little bonus for Alex De Minaur, who joins Carlos in the semis. The bad news? Jannik Sinner awaits.

I don't live in New York City and I am not a citizen of the United States, but I'm taking a heck of a lot of satisfaction in this win. Americans strike back against MAGA.

And while we're on the topic of Canadian tennis, how about Vicky Mboko?!?! Takes the Hong Kong title with a 3-set win over Cristina Bucsa for her second WTA title after exploding on the scene with a win in Montreal this summer. Impressive stuff for the teenager. 💪💥🎾🇨🇦

Jannik Sinner defeats a very game Felix Auger-Aliassime to win the #ParisMasters. Sinner was just better on the big points and crisply assertive off the ground. For Auger-Aliassime, more terrific tennis in his 2nd-half surge, and will play Metz to try to lock up an ATP Finals spot.

Vladdy Guerrero Jr. walking in wearing Marie-Phillip Poulin's Canada jersey is about the most beautifully Canadian moment you could ever hope to see. Gets a guy where he lives. 🥹 Whatever happens, it's been an incredible run. One last time ... Let's Go, Blue Jays!!! #WorldSeries

Jannik Sinner serves up a bagel and breadstick and brunch is delicious. Takes on indoor juggernaut Felix Auger-Aliassime in the #ParisMasters final. With all due respect and affection to the world no. 1 ... c'mon, Felix!!! 💪🇨🇦🎾

Jannik Sinner absolutely dismantling his opponent at the moment and it has my timeline feeling quite chuffed. #ParisMasters

Indoor Felix rolls on, as Auger-Aliassime plays a sharp first set and a wildly up and down second set to beat Alexander Bublik and move into the Paris final. Auger-Aliassime now leapfrogs Lorenzo Musetti in the race for the last ATP Finals spot. FAA looks so good indoors. #ParisMasters

Ok, Blue Jays, we'll just have to win it in 7. This team has bounced back after every deflating loss, and there's no question that 9th inning was deflating. In other words, we've got the bad guys right where we want them. #WorldSeries

Hang this baby in the Louvre. The Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage saunters off the mound after striking out all-world LA Dodger Shohei Ohtani. Toronto is one win away from winning the #WorldSeries.

That was a start for the ages from Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage, and just like that the Jays are within one win of beating the heavily favoured LA Dodgers to win the World Series.
Holy shit!!!

Everyone in Toronto was owed a good night's sleep. The Blue Jays have locked up the moral victory, exceeded expectations, blah blah blah. Now, we want it all. #WantItAll #WorldSeries

The Toronto Blue Jays will never quit. They might not have the same number of stars, and they certainly can't match the LA Dodger payroll, but they will never be outworked and they have more heart than any team in the majors. #WorldSeries
