Pete Bodo is away until 12th August. In the meantime please continue your tennis-related discussions here, saving any off-topic conversations until the day's matches are over.
Hi everyone. Today's tennis in Montreal begins shortly. I'm looking forward to the first match - Lleyton Hewitt up against Juan Carlos Ferrero; both former world number ones have been in good form lately. They haven't played each other much in recent years; the last time was in 2007, also in Montreal, on which occasion Hewitt won in straight sets. Simultaneously on the second show court, Nikolay Davydenko and Paul-Henri Mathieu will be reprising their recent final in Hamburg, followed by Feliciano Lopez and Fernado Verdasco, on opposite sides of the net for a change.
All of the top four are in action; Andy Murray takes on Jeremy Chardy second on Court Central, followed by Novak Djokovic and the Canadian player Peter Polansky. Roger Federer and another Canadian, Frederic Niemeyer, headline the evening session. After his first opponent is decided (between Viktor Troicki and David Ferrer), Rafael Nadal will also be appearing, in his second doubles match of the week.
Matches we won't even see (on Court 9) include encounters between Philipp Kolschreiber and Tomas Berdych, and Tommy Haas and Ivo Karlovic. With all this, and also wins yesterday by Gael Monfils (over Marat Safin - what's new? But at least it was a three-setter!) and Kim Clijsters (at the WTA event in Cincy, over Marion Bartoli) - and even the instantly-recognisable somewhat-missed voice of Mohamed Lahyani back in the chair - it feels as though the tour is back in full swing at last.
As for today's picture - well, how many more excuses will we have to feature Marat here?As usual, enjoy today's tennis.
