Sunshine and wind were in Canada this week and theladies arrived where the men had just left. The biggest suprise of the first few rounds was Chinese qualifier Zi Yan beating recent tournament winner and French Open finalist Anna Ivanovic in straight sets. She has since reached the semi-finals with wins over Eleni Danilidou and Marion Bartoli, impressive in itself. Other semi finalists include Tatiana Golovin who came through a sea-saw match with Kuznetsova 2-6 7-5 6-1 after neither players could hold serve in the second set!. Henin v petrova will be played later tonight and Jelena Jankovic defeated Virginie Razzano in straight sets.
In the mens masters series in Cincinatti saw Novak Djokovic lose his first round tie to Carlos Moya and Rafael Nadal retire injured against Juan Monaco of Agentina. in the semi finals Roger Federer defeated Nicolas Almagro in 3 sets, Leyton Hewitt defeated Carlos Moya and matches between Querrey v Blake, and Ferrer v Davydenko will be played later tonight.
The US Open is a matter of days away, so players are fighting for that run of form going into the last major of the tennis season.
