Rogers Cup (Men) - Montreal

[GameSetAndMath]

Dr. Evil crossed the 10,000 Aces mark yesterday. He is now #2 in that department, behind only to Goran by just 180 or so. He is expected to become #1 very soon. For those interested, there is a long article on it on tennis. com, but let me present one Evil serve from yesterday's match against Milos.

Youzhny is suddenly coming to form. He is 6-1, 3-1 up against SImon. Youzhny won his first round match against Troiki who was actually staging a comeback after his ban. It almost looked like Youzhny is done for his career and now resurging.

I wouldn't read too much into it GSM. He has always had Gilles' number.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Both Youzhny and Kei won in straight sets.

Now it is Ralph time. I am going to watch it to see whether Stak can do some S&V magic.

 

[Fiero425]

Very impressive "hold" by Stakhovsky! Nice S & V points; takes me back! ;-) He's still an idiot concerning his comments on gay players; a real idiot! ;-(

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Stak is S&V ing on almost all points on his serve.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Rafa draws the first blood. It is 4-3 now.

I didn't have to watch to know SS broke himself! He's missing first serves and spraying the ball a little on routine rallies! :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Stak breaks back. It is 5-5

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Stak holds a tough game. Assures himself of at least a TB in first set

 

[Fiero425]

Stak breaks back. It is 5-5

...and a hold to go ahead 6-5! Wow! :eyepop :nono :angel: :dodgy:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Refreshing Xisca in stands.

The value of S&V is gone little bit for Stak as he is doing it on every point. He is getting passed frequently now.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

4-2 Rafa on changeover in tb

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Rafa wins the first set. One mini-break tb.

I am quitting now.

Dimitrov dd not even need Novak's services to show him the door. Sock did the job.

Sock is in a battle to get a seeding at the USO. Very good win. :clap

 

[Kirijax]

Good morning to the other side of the planet. Just saw Sock beat Dimitrov again. Dimitrov and Bouchard should start dating or something. What's gotten into Madman Youzhny all of a sudden?

 

[DarthFed]

Hope the Youz can take out Nadal.

Goffin sends Sam home and Tomic is up a set and a break on the U.S. Open champion, Cilic.

Yeah, that serve was insane. Saw that last night and watched it quite a few times. Nearly took Golum's head off! Glad to see Dr. Ivo making some decent records these days.

:nono Youzhny hasn't beaten Nadal since 2008.
