Question: Does the 2nd round begin August 31 for everyone?
If so, we have like a week off.
BUT I wasn’t sure if they actually started a bit earlier for teams if they advance early on from a previous round (which would be Toronto and Boston IF Toronto wins this evening and completes their sweep).
Just heard that the Tor series begins on Thursday if they win tonight.
Oh okay, thanks for that! TP.
Guessing then if Toronto loses tonight, it won't start until Saturday or Sunday if Toronto wins in 5.
Hope Brooklyn wins tonight
Hard to believe it hadn’t even been a week yet since Gordon’s injury Really too bad they won’t have him back even if it goes 7. As long as the baby’s healthy I do hope it’s a little on early side.
I know we all lamented over him leaving the bubble at a potentially crucial point in our playoff run, but his injury is the main concern now. A grade III sprain is pretty serious, enough that even if he’s good in ~four weeks, his conditioning may not be there. Sabrina Ionescu had a similar injury a month ago and they just announced she won’t need surgery. I know they are tanking, but it goes to show how serious that severe a sprain is.
I wouldn’t count on Hayward (or the version we would need to win it all) until well after Robyn’s due date.
