[GameSetAndMatch]

Yipee! the Rogers cup. Live!!!!

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Federer has withdrawn from montreal citing a back injury-rare for him.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

Phew, second set to Potato. Close though at 7-5.

No I'm just about still here. He's not making this easy on himself.

Don't know who the commentators are (well, one of them is Greg Rubbishski) but there's no doubt who they like best, and it's not Potato.

At least it's not McEnro and his Del Poncho/Powtro. I have commentry on the radio but no idea who it is.

Third set to Potato. Don't want to sound particular (ESP not after all the fuss I've made bout not being able to see it) but I don't like the camera angles they use.

Ooh, Potato has no shirt on. Well worth staying up for.

You tease. I can't see that on the radio.

Sorry Clay. Shouldn't be perving at my age.

Tbf the commentry is much better than I expected. The only problem is the commentator keeps calling del Potato, Isner.

Really? That's a pretty basic mistake to make. Obviously doesnt love Potato like we do.

He has stopped now. It's the height that's confusing him apparently. Easy to confuse tall players even when one of them isn't on court.

My dh is same height as Potato but I haven't got them mixed up yet!

Was hoping this wasn't going to 5 sets. If potato doesn't break back here I'm going to bed.

Don't leave me! Have you got to get up early?

No, but too much Eastern US tennis is playing havoc with my body clock. Was so close to falling asleep at work this afternoon.

Oh dear. Goodnight Clay.

Night, Farley.

Vamos Potato.

Oh dear, Potato been broken early in fifth set. He looks tired. Hewitt has a box full of coaches, relatives etc. Potato only seems to have his coach. If he needs more moral support court side I'm happy to oblige.

This isn't looking good ...

Looking even worse now ... Come on Potato.

Oh Potato has lost. I'm sad.

I had to give up and go to bed. Poor del potato. . I've always had a soft spot for Hewitt, but really hoped Delpo would do well here this year.
And dd2 has woken me up at stupid o clock and I can't get back to sleep.

Can't believe the commentators were mixing him up with Isner.

Poor potato. On the other hand am stoked, as they say, for lovely Leyton.

Lleyton certainly has a knack of causing upsets- and he is great to watch. He certainly doesn't give up.

Oh, Potato I confess, I fell asleep in the last set. I finally got Leah down and lay on couch with intent to only lay down not sleep. I woke up just 15 mins ago with telly still on.
I am the worlds worst Nan. This was her first night here and she cried and cried until she clearly got exhausted then fell to sleep. She has done a poo as well, I heard it after the 4am feed but she went right to sleep after a huge burp so I left her .
I will change her when she wakes up now for food and will keep the poo nappy secret to self...

Lleighton is lovely, to still be playing as well, I remember him always as playing. Well done to him, he did have that grit look about him.
But Potato.... Awww, what on earth will I do at 3 am now? When's Nadal on?
