again, zero commentary during this murray/tsonga match

it's a gift from the tennis gods

Love seeing Rafa put in his place on the hard court.

Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Halep/Errani match tomorrow might be fun to watch. They're both excellent movers and solid off the ground, so it'll look like a pong match.

Rafa has no chance other than on clay.

After watching Halep and Aggie, I wanted to gouge my eyes out. I quit in the 3rd set. I enjoyed watching the old farts play on tennis channel more than that this morning. Serena vs Bencic might be watchable though.

Nice win by Murray. Lets see if he can make it through the entire open without physical problems.

Yep, the Halep/Errani match is pretty fun so far.

They just played the best point I've seen in Rogers Cup play on the men's or women's side this year.

Another Murray/Djokovic match on a hard court at a Masters 1000 event

Who had Serena losing to the 18 year old?

I look forward to seeing what Bencic does in the Finals.

I've been bored by Murray - Djokovic lately, too one-sided.

It's been one sided but the last 2 matches has gone the distance. Excluding Stan, what other player H2H vs Novak isn't one sided in Novak favor in the last few years?

I thought it would be good, but I don't know anyone who would go against Serena.

Serena looks like a fighter who has over trained. She is much thinner than usual and seems to have no legs. Combine that with having no rhythm on serve and she looks like the rest of the girls out there.

Bencic is the fastest riser on the tour right now, buit has no service game. If she brings that up a notch she could be a champion. If not she is most likely the next Dementieva. Right now I still like Muguruza. Chirico will start to make some noise soon too.

I was actually impressed with Gulbis the other day. He is back with his old coach and back on the right track. He gave Nole fits.

Roger Federer faces a tough path in his quest to successfully defend his Western & Southern Open crown, with Rafael Nadal in his quarter, while top seed Novak Djokovic has Stan Wawrinka as a potential quarter-final opponent in his quest to claim the Career Golden Masters.

The second-seeded Swiss could potentially square off against eighth seed and longtime rival Nadal in the quarter-finals, with a semi-final duel with third seed Andy Murray also looming large.

As if his career wasn't bad enough, Ryan Harrison apparently behaved like a jackass and tried to start a fight with Kokkinakis in losing the first round of Cincy Qualifiers.

I was never very high on him, but I even I never foresaw the guy going from top 50 on his 20th birthday to now approaching two years outside of the Top 100.

FED can mix in a win every now and then.

You are right though that Djokovic beats everyone.

I think after a certain point, it comes down to style for me. If Novak is going to beat Andy while playing a similar style, I'd rather see someone with a different style vs. Novak.

Even though I did like some of their matchups in 2011, 2012, 2013.

 

[nuraman00]

Will tune into the Women's Final now, as I dehydrate some apples. (I first tried it 5 weeks ago).

 

[nuraman00]

Is that Serena's real hitting partner in the Chase commercial?

 

[nuraman00]

It's cool seeing fans with the Romanian flag.

Almost like a Davis Cup match. Makes it very exciting to watch. I wish more fans like the Cypriots, Australians, and Romanians.

 

[bksballer89]

Wow what a set.....A women's set actually worth the watch.

 

[nuraman00]

Who is that mom in the Youth Tennis.com commercial? Sabitini?

 

[nuraman00]

Headed to 3rd set.
