Since I can't be bothered with a long entry here, well I am going to say why I love the Canadian Open.
It's Canada and Canada is cool and not just literally. This event has had so many surprise winners and I love it, though nothing will beat Andrei Chesnokov, Andrei Pavel, Micke Pernfors and Guillermo Cañas. It's the first of the big hardcourt events and maybe that is a reason, but we need more surprise winners, yes that includes Wayne Ferreira in there. There needs to be more diversity among the big titles, then again we are in a clown era, then again we always are, just the amount varies.
Speaking of clowns. Nalle played like a clown who took too many drugs losing to the Silver Fox Sanguinetti 2 and 1, but he was ill. Perhaps Seppi had the same illness losing serve three times to Wayne Arthurs in a set in qualies.
Gaudio was at his best 9 winners and 42 errors and it was not like he was going for too much or even tanking. Moya didn't have to play well, but he kept the ball in and that was enough, sure it was windy, but it's the same for both players.
Hope there can be some upsets that I like and not the Chicken Man beating Baghdatis. I'd love to Kool Kevin Kim take out Gineprick, the humour value would be immense and tennis needs some more humour.

Berdych beats Nadal, Gasquet defeats Blake, Gonzalez defeats Ljubicic... some good results for tennis happening in Toronto. Just hope these guys can build on these results and eventually pose as a bigger threat to Federer.
Great win by Berdych over Nadal, he showed he is clearly not scared of him and played very well.
It would be fantastic if Federer didn't win and Tursunov played well for 2 sets in an entertaining match.
Berdych couldn't follow up his win against Nadal against the overhyped Gasquet.
Chucho shat his pants against Gonzalez and that was disappointing though he had a good week nevertheless. I don't have too much interest in the event now.
