The Tournament:

The Rogers Cup began back in 1892 and the tournament rotates each year between Toronto and Montreal, with the ATP staging its version of the event the same week in the alternate city. Three times it has been named the WTA's Premier Tournament Of The Year - in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

Built in 1996, Uniprix Stadium (French: Stade Uniprix) is the main tennis court at the Canada Masters tournament. The centre court stadium currently holds 11,700 spectators. The twelve courts at this venue use the DecoTurf cushioned acrylic surface, the same surface as the U.S. Open Grand Slam event.

Its core seating area is a remnant of the former Major League Baseball stadium on the site, Jarry Park Stadium, the original home of the Montreal Expos.


About Montreal

Canada's second largest city has the largest number of French speakers per city outside of Paris. Situated in the state of Quebec, it's set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River and named after Mt. Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its heart.

Its 19 boroughs, many of which were once independent cities, include neighbourhoods from cobblestoned, French colonial Vieux-Montreal with imposing Notre-Dame Basilica at its centre to industrial Sud-Ouest and artist-friendly Plateau.

The city has a population of 1,649,519 (2011) with a metro population of around 4 million.

Not sure what happened to Woz. I only saw part of the decider, but I thought she had 3 MP's.

Garcia takes Masha to the woodshed :chainsaw:

Well - no matches for over a month, things get a little unprecise, little unconcentrated at the right moments, oponent shows her best - of course on the day she meets Woz - she lost the next match. Woz is not 100% on top because of injury - or a little bit afraid of doing things worse. If you look at the stats you can see that normally - I think - she should have won - but that*s tennis :)
