The Dimitrovaissance: Part 2? Struggling in the heat, Grigor Dimitrov claws his way to victory in grueling 3-set win in Miami. Last year's runner-up stays alive with a 6-7⁶, 6-4, 7-6³ win over Francisco Cerúndolo. Dimitrov was so depleted by the heat that he opted out of his post-match interview.

The career of Diego Schwartzman is over but he maximized his talent better than most players we've ever seen, considering his height and considering his game, he had a better career than he could've ever hoped for. • 4 ATP Titles • Roland Garros Semifinal • 251-226 Record • Career High of #8

Also: ESPN has just got to do better with the Australian Open broadcast slots. Having an American in a quarterfinal at 7:30pm ET relegated to ESPN+ only because of indoor gold and January men’s college basketball is inexcusable.

A silhouette of this raging bull reflecting the light, his timeless little skip, which he always does at the same time and in the same way. A shadow like an icon, a few seconds before dazzling in the spotlight. -Pauline Ballet

We all know Novak Djokovic responds well to heckles from the crowd and he couldn't have picked anyone better to call him a massive fucking prick when he's playing badly than Andy Murray. 😂
