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Federer has withdrawn from montreal citing a back injury-rare for him.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

Break here stan would be good!

C'mon Stan!

Whoever wins this will be knackered for the final.

Is stan on something?

C'mon Stan!!

oh...

but he gave it a good go, and thrashed Murray, so has to be pleased with that.

So- VAMOS

I have a feeling the next match won't be so close .But could be wrong.

That was a fantastic match, Stan played out of his skin. And although Djok won (which I'm glad about), I think you have to say Stan looked the better player. The second game in the fifth set was phenomenal - 20 mins long and 10 or 11 deuces. How they kept going I don't know!

When Stan was briefly interviewed after the match I couldn't understand him too well but I was sure I heard him say "fucking" something. Sure enough, the commentators apologised after for his language but I was thinking "oh dear, he's going to get it in his ear from his mum for that!" as both his parents were there!

And I thought Boris was looking particularly sleazy!

Hello 12th by the way, and anyone else I've neglected to say hi too!

Juan Boris often does.

As I only saw the scores, it looked like a good match. Stan has had some great results, and hope he keeps it up.

At least this year, Djoko has a rest day before the final. Which he didn't last year. Or he'd have won

And if Stan swore on telly, I love him

they're warming up

Perfect start from rafa

vamos

misawd tge first match. might be home fir the end of the second. i did go to the green party thing in the end but rhe choice ended up being between clearibg away stalls and directing traffic in the pissing rain or going to a friends for a bottle of wine or two so didnt stay long.

I hope you enjoyed the wine

we've reached that time of the night where its time for the bus drunk. hopefully hes getting off before i do.

First set nadal!

Hope you're ok, Clay!

Am home now and fine. Wasn't the weird creepy sort of drunk. More the social commentary sort. At least the whole bus knows they're all miserable fuckers and should cheer up cos we might all die tomorrow. I'm not all that sure that the idea I might die in an hours time is all that cheering though. .

Vamos

vamos

I may end up going to bed soon. I'm hoping Gasquet isn't planning a come back

Is he known for his late come backs? I don't know that much about him.

He appears to be making one now ...

I don't think he is- but stranger things have happened.

He's had some good matches this tournament, but really don't see a Gasquet/Djoko final on the cards. fingers crossed

It's OK. Nadal looks like he has the tie break under control.
