New TENNIS thread here! Montreal starts Monday at 5pm Sky sports 3!

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Federer has withdrawn from montreal citing a back injury-rare for him.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

Well it's looking better now!

So it is. Go Ferrer.

Match point. Come on.

My Internet died. Yay ferrer! Hope he took his top off

I really should be going to bed. But jack is Sock-ing it to Raonic at the moment.

I'm so with you there on the should be going to bed. The site I'm using refreshes automatically so my refresh finger is nice and rested, unlike the rest of me. The only time these 2 have met before was earlier this year and Sock won so could go either way I reckon.

Murray, Djok, Del Potato and Rafa all playing today.

ooh Del Potato and Rafa on the same day. shirtless . Will image that whilst pressing my re-fresh button

imagine

How's that imagining going? Del Potato has taken the first set.

Del Potato is doing it all for me!

I have transferred my love from Rafa to Del Potato.

I want him - in more ways than you could believe.

I have only just sat down to catch up. Go Del Potato!

I really like him, but will remain loyal to Rafa. I can support them individually, but the gloves are off if they meet at the semi final stage (i think that's where they may meet). Ferrer is due to meet Del Potato again in the next round- payback for Wimbledon maybe? .

So long as Djoko or Murray don't win the tournament, I'm happy.

Well Djok is through so just Nadal to go today. Not sure what time he will be playing. Vamos.

Vamos! Think he's up about midnight. Not sure I will be

Neither will I. And this time I actually mean it...probably.

Well, I'm refreshing the first game and imagining Rafa shirtless .But I will be going to bed soon.Really

VAMOS

3-0 . So far, so good

First set Rafa,Vamos !

Well I couldn't leave you to post alone all night Raahh. .

Vamos

I was amazed & a bit sad to hear about Bartoli's retirement. At least she has her Wimbledon.

ds2 decided to sleep during rafas match, something he hardly ever does so I missed it. Great result though.
Sad about bartoli but hope its the right decision for her.

Just read that about Bartoli- she's going out on a high, good for her. It's a shame she won't be defending her title, but really this year was her best shot, with all the unprecedented upsets. I really warmed to her by the end, with her little giggle

I couldn't stay awake to stare at my scoreboard, so am glad to see rafa didn't blow it. VAMOS!!!

And in honour of Marion.

[TENNIS] Ladies!
Excuse my absence - work and a mahoosive headache.
But - Marion has retired!? Quite shocked this morning when I read the news.
I shall miss her a lot around the tournaments

eek! not the best first set from Federer. Doing better in the second.

And Ferrer is out

But Del Potato is still in- despite an iffy second second set.
