The second event I am excited about is Rogers Cup, which is a joint event of ATP and WTA. The men's and women's matches alternate between Toronto and Montreal. This year Montreal hosts the gentlemen. Based on my schedule and budget, I bought a ticket to a quarter-final match on August 14, featuring Andy Roddick and Novak Djokovic.
The program was bashing about the fact that all eight seeds had reached quarter-finals, which had not happened since 1973. However, if you had followed the result, you would know that that pattern did not last long as major upsets happened right away.
Roddick v. Djokovic
Originally uploaded by nuance1979The match between Roddick and Djokovic were pretty enjoyable. Unlike in a major event such as the grueling Wimbeldon final with Federer, Roddick was relaxed, even playful from time to time, as long as it wouldn't cost him the victory. Enjoying what you do and doing what you enjoy are typically American.
I also experimented using my iPhone to take pictures and videos. Not bad from such a small device.
The second match of the night was Nadal vs Del Potro. It was apparent that Nadal wasn't at his best form. However, even if he lost, there was no mistake who was the audience's favorite.
