Agassi withdraws from Rogers Cup

I'm sure many people who are loyal tennis fans know about this already. But when I read this it just made me so sad. I was really looking forward to seeing Agassi play one last time in Canada. It's really disappointing.

What I find the most interesting is that the article doesn't mention why he's withdrawing is it due to an injury? or is he simply trying to save all his energy for the U.S. Open in September?. Oh, well at least I'll get to see some classic matches with Agassi tomorrow evening:D.

Here is the aforementioned article:

Hingis Acura Classic quarter final pics





All pics belong to hingis.org

Clijsters ousts Hingis again!

Well, yesterdays Acura quarter final match was pretty much same old same old with Clijsters winning again!. If I'm not mistaken this is the 3rd or 4th time in a row this year and all at the quarters too. And in two sets no less. I think a lot of people including myself were disappointed that Martina couldn't even get the match into a 3rd set.

And I won't make excuses this time saying Martina could have just been tired from playing three sets the previous evening, because the same could have been said for Kim. I really think Martina needs to work on her concentration a little more, because she's loosing focus a lot.

And obviously she's got a lot things to improve in terms of her game. And not just her 2nd serve. Maybe a new couch would be better for her, or a second couch. But something needs to be done if she wants to win a couple of more titles in the next few years or so.

Now I'm not saying all this to bash my favourite player in any way, I just think it's necessary if she wants to get better much less get back in the top ten. And maybe I am being a little harsh seeing as she's only been playing for the past 8 months after a three year break.

So perhaps, she just needs more time to adjust. We'll see how things change by this time next year, whether there are any improvements. She says she just needs to play more matches. Who knows? maybe that's true again we shell wait and see.

Now with all this said, Kim is a very tough player and Hingis certainly hang in there. It was tight first set, she even had a lead in the first at 5-4 but lost it. And I guess she just couldn't convert on her breaks Kim won the match 7/5 6/2.

I think by the second set Martina felt like she had no chance. So now we move on to Montreal on August 13, hopefully she'll have better luck there. Barring she doesn't meet Kim till the final;).

Here are a couple of articles with details on the match:

Since this is a long post I'll post the photos in a separate one;).

Great news for fans of classic Tennis

I got this through my Google alerts, some really exciting news for fans of classic Tennis. ESPN Classic will be showing some great matches from both men and women at the Montreal tournament.

They even have an Agassi tribute. TSN has also posted their full broadcast schedule of the Rogers Cup for all of us Canadians:D.

I just hope I get to see this, but I guess I will or otherwise TSN wouldn't put it on their site. Fingers crossed.

Here are the matches I'm most interested in:

Sunday, Aug. 6 – 1995 Final: Andre Agassi vs. Pete Sampras at 5:30 p.m. ET

Sunday, Aug. 13 – 1987 Semifinal: Chris Evert vs. Pam Shriver at 6 p.m. ET

Martina Hingis vs. Flavia Penetta 3rd round pics








Here are some pics from last nights match:) Once again all pics are from hingis.org
More tennis news to come later tonight.

Hingis wins 3rd round moves to play Clijsters in Acura Classic

Well since I can't sleep I might as well write about this now lol. Martina is in the quarters so she will once again face Kim Clijsters.

Which should make for an entertaining match. But this time I'm betting on Hingis as the victor, the table has to turn some time and I think this might be it. And I'm sure I've said this before but I think this time Martina has a real chance.

Mainly because unlike other times these two have played this year, Clijsters had a tough match a 3 setter. So she won't be as fresh as she was at Roland Garros for example with a days rest. This time she has played 6 matches in the last 8 days. With that said Martina didn't have it easy either.

She played a 3 setter as well against Penetta. But in her case it was only because she seemed to loose concentration towards the end of the second set from what I have read. But she pulled herself together in the third.

Winning the match 6/2 3/6 6/1. I just hope she doesn't have any concentration lapses tomorrow, or rather today lol. You can't really have those against Kim and Martina will have her work cut out for her as it is running all over the court.

Gotta say it's a little weird for Martina to have so many concentration lapses she seems to have them more now then she did when she first came back in January.

Anyway I'm keeping my fingers crossed if she can beat Clijsters she will have a good chance of winning the title so I wish her lots of luck.

Here is an article summery of this and other matches from Thursday's play at Acura:
