[GameSetAndMatch]

Yipee! the Rogers cup. Live!!!!
lead up time to the US Open! Yay!

there is also WTA tennis on eurosport atm but i never seem to catch it live and when I put it on ita always Radwanska and Cibulkova match!.

Federer has withdrawn from montreal citing a back injury-rare for him.

dont know if rafas playing, havent heard hide or hair (or bum!) from him since Wimbledon .

and wheres Andy gone? must have finished his hols by now.

anyway cant wait for Monday!

Shame faced. I fecked up the balls!

morning!

ORDER OF PLAY

DD2 is being difficult. I'll be back...

Lipsticki is about to win, and Ferrer is playing now. Nadal will probably be on in the early hours

Yay Lipsticki. Haven't checked last nights scores yet so need to catch up on that. Last I saw Del Potato had dropped the second set. Stupid American networks and their TV ratings. If it wasn't for that matches wouldn't be starting at stupid o'clock in the morning. If it worked like Wimbledon they'd all be over by 2am ish.

The fact the US tv companies get to dictate the schedules is really rubbish- and there is no consideration for the players. Del Potato was lucky his match didn't end up postponed until today, with the weather. If he progresses to the latter stages, he will be one of the players with more back to back days play as a result.

Well, well - here's a turn up for the books. Picture of Dan Evans at 18:23 ...

There's another one at 19:09.

phew! going to plan for Ferrer- looked a bit shaky at the start of the first set.

Go Dan!

Going Ok for Fed. Heading for a tie break for Jack Sock.

Come on Dan!

Not going so well for Dan

Ooooooh! Missed that one, clay Ta!

Not going well though. I think he needs more time to get over his past attitude and to mature.

oh crap. Ferrer lost the second set.

Second set Evans!

And Ferrer back on track

Dropped sets everywhere.

I wish I could hear the commentary for the Tomic/Evans match. Wonder if they've mentioned his dad a dozen times

Woo Hoo! 2:1 Evans

Dan is running away with it now. Tomic is often thought to be one of the new stars, so a good scalp to get.

Fed and ferrer safely through.

Testing, testing 1, 2, 3

Go Dan!

Agree raahh - a great scalp if he can do it.

Ooooh. Mumsnet is fixed... maybe. Possibly we broke it with the . Or maybe it was Jamie Oliver.

Just lost a huge post twice but yay Fed and Ferrer and Sock. Looking good for Evans too. Should put him in top 150 I think.
