Rogers Cup Scores And Results: Six Grand Slam Champions Fall In Third Round
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France)[13] def. Roger Federer (Switzerland)[3] 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-1 -- Failing to get revenge for his shocking five-set loss at Wimbledon, Roger Federer was again blown off the court in the deciding stages of a match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Tsonga played exceptionally strong tennis in the third, reeling off five straight games to start the set before Federer finally was able to prevent the bagel in the sixth game.Galina Voskoboeva (Kazakhstan)[Q] def. Maria Sharapova (Russia)[5] 6-3, 7-5 -- Galina Voskoboeva's stunning run from qualifying to quarterfinals became even more impressive Thursday, knocking off Maria Sharapova in straight sets for her second top 10 victory of the week (and her career). Voskoboeva next faces Victoria Azarenka, a player she should certainly be able to contend with if she plays as well as she has the rest of this week. As if her week wasn't good enough, Voskoboeva is also into the quarterfinals in the doubles draw. That Alina Jidkova is some coach. Samantha Stosur (Australia)[10] def. Li Na (China)[6] 6-2, 6-4 -- After seeing her pre-tournament interview with the WTA , I was pretty sure Li Na was not long for this tournament. Weeks relaxing and reveling in China seem to have dulled her game considerably, and Sam Stosur's weapons are simply too large to overcome when not sharp. Hopefully her focus and hunger comes back by the US Open. Andrea Petkovic (Germany)[11] def. Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic)[7] 6-1, 6-2 -- Just like French Open champion Li Na, Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova spent her time between Wimbledon and Canada reveling in her home country. Her rust was wildly apparent in this match, which Petkovic dominated from start to finish. Kvitova was never a model of consistency, so her inability to immediately back up her Wimbledon title shouldn't be too surprising. She'll win a lot of matches in her career, and a lot of tournaments, but it's hard to see her ever becoming a consistent workhorse No. 1 like a Justine Henin was. Lucie Safarova (Czech Republic) def. Francesca Schiavone (Italy)[8] 6-3, 6-3 -- Schiavone looked lethargic and uncharacteristically disinterested in the match, and Safarova took advantage. Safarova jumped ahead early in rallies, not giving Schiavone the time to build counterpunching rallies. The Czech lefty gets Serena Williams in the next round, a match she shouldn't figure to come close to winning. Roberta Vinci (Italy) def.

Australian Open Day 2 Results | Tennis
Men’s
The buzz and excitement around the Rod Laver Arena started early yesterday, as the crowd got a chance to see one-man-tank and top seed Rafael Nadal in his opening match against Brazilian Marcos Daniel. If these two nations met in a soccer match, it would no doubt be an incredibly tight game. Here, however, Nadal played his opponent into submission, leading 6-0, 5-0 before an injury to his left knee forced him to retire.
The most exciting game of the day was the second order of play in the men’s singles on the Rod Laver Arena, where Argentine David Nalbandian met local kid Lleyton Hewitt in a dual to decide which former star was not completely washed up just yet. With the match turned out to be a five-set epic, stretching over five hours and going into the early hours, Nalbandian came out victorious, 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-1), 9-7. It’ll be a bleak 30th birthday for Hewitt this year, an age synonymous with the closing stages of a player’s career.
Australian Open Day 1 Review
Andy Murray ensured that a beleaguered Britain can still pray for that first male grand slam winner since Fred Perry in 1936, whose legacy unfortunately lives on in a clothing line popular among Britain’s vagabond population. Last year’s finalist made it through to round two with relative ease against Karol Beck of Slovakia, up 6-3, 6-1, 4-2, before Beck retired with a troubled right shoulder.
Number-four seed Robert Soderling also made it through it typically mundane Swedish fashion, defeating Italian Potito Starace, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. Nice try, Italy.
Anyone remember John Isner, the American half of the longest tennis match in the history of the universe, finely Wimbledon-and on- and on, where he defeated Nicolas Mahut 70-68 in the fifth set? Well, yesterday he did it under nine hours, beating Florent Serra of France, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3.
One player I recommend you keep an eye out for is Argentina’s 2009 US Open winner Martin Del Potro. Having missed almost the entirety of 2010 through injury, Del Potro is hoping will be hoping to reach peak form again as soon as possible, at least come the French Open in June. He got off to a solid start, defeating an out-of-shape (or maybe the camera just added 10 lbs) Dudi Sela in straight sets, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4.
And even Luxembourg gets its ambassador in round two, after Gille Muller defeated German Simon Stadler, 6-3, 7-6, 6-4. Anyone with a good memory may remember Muller from back in 2005, where he defeated Nadal at Wimbledon. Luxembourg almost introduced a bank holiday after the win, that would have ment the country would go under.
