There were huge upsets today at the Rogers Cup, both in Toronto on the men’s side and in Montreal on the women’s side. PGA Golf Championship got underway as well in Louisville, KY.
Let’s start with tennis! Novak Djokovic is out, falling to J. Tsonga 6-2, 6-2. That was and is a shocker! Also, Stan Wawrinka fell to K. Anderson in straight sets, 7-6, 7-5. I saw Kevin Anderson upset Stan at Indian Wells. This is the second Masters 1000 event where Anderson has gotten the best of Wawrinka. Meanwhile, Ferrer survived Dodig, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 and Dimitrov advanced in three sets over T. Robredo, 5-7, 7-5, 6-4. Murray advanced in a walkover, (Richard Gasquet withdrawing). So, that leaves Mr. Federer to serve tonight against M. Cilic. This is the eve of Roger’s 33rd birthday, tomorrow is the big day for Roger, 8/8/14. With these upsets, Roger has a clear path if he can stay the course and play his tennis! GO FED!
On the women’s side, it rained in Montreal, this one day after the power outage and it wreaked havoc on the schedule. Non the less, big upset as Maria Sharapova went out to Saurez-Navarro in three sets, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2. Not disappointed, personally! Serena won a tough two set match over Safarova, 7-5, 6-4.
Now we await Raonic vs. Benneteau before Mr. Federer to serve late tonight in Toronto.
PGA Golf Championship got underway today from Louisville, KT. Tiger Woods landed and played the course, shooting a first round of 74, +3 and a good bit off the lead of -6. Rory Mcilroy came cruising in on the back nine, after a bad start and had at least four straight birdies, finishing at -5. Lefty had a good day, finishing at -2. The Leaderboard: Lee Westwood -6, Kevin Chappell -6, Ryan Palmer -6, Rory Mcilroy -5, Jim Furyk -5, E. Molinari -5, H. Stenson, Luke McDonald and others at -4.
Been a long Thursday…time to kick back and relax and watch Mr. Federer! Enjoy your evening!
