Is Kim Clijsters playing in this open? I love her. Love her attitude. She just seems like an all around great person.

EDIT Clijsters plays tonight!

Good job by Tomic. Impressed, he definitely has potential. Back in Wimby he gave Djokovic some trouble. Hopefully, he realizes that potential.

On another note, this thread can be renamed "The GirlySports thread"

[GirlySports]

Fangurl time: Kim Clijsters has moved onto the third round with a win today. This is probably her final year on tour so the more she wins, the better for her fans.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Mardy Fish with just an awful performance against Falla. Isner in the fifth set against Nalbandian. If Isner loses that will be a pretty bad first week for the American men.

[Mango]

Good news!

Raonic vs. Petzshner will be on TSN.ca starting at 5pm Calgary time.

I just saw Isner won, but barely. Querrey might move on to the third round, but he's playing Tomic and the crowd is going nuts for him right now.

Hey, there's always Roddick

I won't spoil it for you!

Petzshner is a tricky opponent. Raonic lost to him last year.

Also in action

1st on Court 8
Angelique Kerber(GER)[30] vs. Stephanie Dubois(CAN)

3rd on Court 18
Maria Kirilenko(RUS)[27] vs. Aleksandra Wozniak(CAN)

And if you're an insomniac the old geezers Roddick vs. Hewitt will go at it at around 2am.

[Mango]

Thanks - I just saw the result of the Tomic/Querrey match Sounds like it was a good one.

[GirlySports]

Go get'em Marcos!



Must be nice to have 1st world issues.

[Mango]

Here's the link to Raonic's match: http://watch.tsn.ca/#clip601834 - Court 3

Lots and lots of support for Milos. They are really cheering him on

[GirlySports]

woo an early break

[Mango]

Commentators think that Raonic could will a GS next season if his growth continues...they site Sharapova as someone that improved 2% every day until she won her first major.

Some interesting food for thought...

Still early. I don't think Djokovic or Nadal are going anywhere soon.
Even Murray hasn't won a slam yet.
