Interesting to see Nadal pushed to the limit. He looked gased at times during the match today.

Everytime Vancouver has a lead for the rest of the playoffs you need to come on here and say "Vancouver have the lead".

Then we just sit back and hope for the best.

Hell of a battle in the second set by Wozniak though. If you are watching the replay right now, take a shot every time the announcer refers to her as "the Canadian". You'll be drop-dead drunk before the tiebreak.

My girl Kim Clijsters struggled today...she wasted a couple of match points. Usually, she gets away with letting down in a match but combined with her injury struggles and a resilient opponent, she couldn't get it done.

Entertaining match for Nadal today, in a tie-break for the 3rd set.

I've updated the draws on the first page to the Last 32 on each side.

On the men's side it's amazing that 5 qualifiers have made it into the 3rd round. There's an entire eighth of the draw without a seed meaning an unseeded player will make the quarterfinals.

On the women's side, not too many surprises other than Clijsters falling. Interestingly the girl who Dubois had the lead on in qualifying it still alive! Oh what could have been.

The Marino-Kuznetsova match is 2nd on Court 1 after Ferrer-Stakhovsky so I'm estimating around 6:30am. Hope it gets some tv time!

#1 Wozniacki is out. She played poorly and survived against Wozniak. She played much worse today and got crushed by Hantuchova 6-1, 6-3.

There is a good match between Djokovic and Del Potro on TSN right now.
Djokovic took the first set but Del Potro is up a break in the second.

I just took a peak. Del Potro took the 2nd set?
Looks like it's now suspended by darkness?

Yeah, he took the second set 6-3 and then they suspended for darkness. Del Potro is looking really good, I think this one will go to 5 sets.

What happens when two unseeded player meet in the 4th round in Paris?
Hilarity

Fabio Fognini (ITA) def. Albert Montanes (ESP) 4-6 6-4 3-6 6-3 11-9 in 5 hours!

Fognini couldn't walk after he pulled his calf muscle. He called a medical timeout down 5-6 15-30 in the 5th. The french crowd whistled of course. He had 12 foot faults in the match, 5 in one GAME which he still held serve. Montanes kept hitting it straight to a guy who couldn't run. It's was pretty ridiculous.

Fognini gets Djokovic on Tuesday, I think he'll just go home now.
