Tennis Chatter: Mid-Week Report
What a difference 10 days makes.
10 days ago Andy Roddick had seemingly already proclaimed himself US Open champion, Roger Federer was about to vault his "comeback" and everyone wanted to see how Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic would play after their polar opposite experiences at the All England Club.
But now:
--Roddick is out with injury... and questionable for the USO? He's also 8-4 in his last twelve matches. Has Andy REALLY lost his mo-jo?
--Federer shocked us all with his implosion again Gilles Simon in Toronto, then almost did the same against American Robby Ginepri in his opener at Cincy. Is the two-points-from-defeat win over Ginepri a sign that he's back in form. Maybe. Or maybe not.
--Novak has been mediocre to say the least, with his departure to Murray in Toronto and he's currently entangled in a first-set breaker with Italian Simone Bolleli.
--And Rafa, well, Rafa is the bomb. He continues to prove us all wrong by winning everything in sight. Is this kid more of a craftsman than we think?
While the women's tour might (emphasis on might) heat up in Montreal this week, one player who has taken to the summer hardcourt season with a fury is up-and-comer Michelle Larcher de Brito. She flew to the second round at the Bank of the West (through qualifying) and gave Serena quite a scare, and now in Montreal has again come through qualifying and won two main draw matches.
Watch out for this girl, she's living up to her (commercial) billing:

Was a bit shock when Roddick pulled out. Well, I am still hoping Federer would do well in Cincy..
Hi, I would like to link your blog. Let me know if you're not ok with it. Thanks :)
Well Lynnx, Fed didn't pull through at Cincy... is he in an outright slump?
Of course I don't mind you linking to me! I actually need to get my linking back up and running, too.

It appears that a significant part of it is missing and the structure of your page does not appear to be right. Can you confirm that this page has been set up for Opera? Martin , texas car insurance
So well, in fact, that they are ordering a cap for us to place over her trach during the day time.
