This week, and next week in Cincy, are two of the bigger tour stops of the year for the men. Rogers Cup - Main Draw Haas vs. Moya is perhaps the best contest in the first round; potential 2nd round matchups include Roddick vs. Tipsarevic, and Nadal vs. Baghdatis.

Haas handily defeated Moya, Tipsy blew it and lost in the 1st round to a player ranked about 50 spots below him, and Baghdatis withdrew just prior to the start of the tournament. The BIG NEWS, however (for the ?'th time this year?)... Simon: 'For sure, this is my best victory.' Federer bounced in Toronto's second round by Simon TORONTO -- Top-ranked Roger Federer was knocked out of the Rogers Cup with a 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 loss to France's Gilles Simon in a second-round match Wednesday night. Federer, who won the tournament in 2004 and '06, was playing his first match since losing the Wimbeldon final in five sets to Spain's Rafael Nadal. "That's just unbelievable for me to win against him," said Simon, who is ranked 22nd in the world. Federer, who became the first top seed to lose in his first match here since Lleyton Hewitt in 2002, finished second here last year to Serbia's Novak Djokovic. "The problem was my game today," Federer said. Link to full story: Federer bounced in Toronto's second round by Simon Nadal has the opportunity to REALLY close the gap on Federer, now. Forget 'by the end of the year'... depending upon how well Nadal does this week at the Rogers Cup, Roger could potentially lose his number 1 ranking NEXT WEEK in Cincy!! For anyone interested in the points specifics, the following link covers it all: Link: Federer's Reign At No. 1 Under Imminent Threat There were a few other upsets today of other, lower seeds... but nothing anywhere near comparison to this.

The match he had against Federer in Oz made me a fan of his, but he's got to get past this "get psyched-up for the BIG matches, but play in lackluster fashion in the lesser ones" mentality that he himself mentioned he has. He's not gonna get much higher in the rankings than he is right now until he resolves this problematic mindset. Ha-ha HA!!! I came across this pic of Simon after the match, a few minutes ago... Simon screws!!! Silas is OLD NEWS, now!!

News flash: If Jelena wins this week at the event in California (she plays Nadia in the quarters in Friday's evening match), she'll move to NUMBER 1 in the rankings!!! TRIVIA: What's the real reason Gilles Simon was so happy in the picture shown a couple of posts above? Answer: [+] Simon Screws Ashley Harkleroad (who's in this month's 'Playboy')!!!

Registration at the site is pretty quick and easy (you'll need to register on another page... I think you've got to register - can't recall at the moment ). They're REALLY anal about not typing in CAPS, posting ANY links, and cussin' at all, though... so be forewarned if you go there. They also have occasional screen freezes (as is happening right now). Tennis - online viewing Tipsarevic - Moya is on as I type this!!! Just started, on serve in the 1st.
