    Marion Bartoli Retires from Tennis in Shock Announcement

    In a stunning announcement, recently crowned Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli has announced that she is retiring from tennis.

    Bartoli broke the news on Wednesday evening after being defeated at the Cincinnati Open by Simona Halep. She lost the second round encounter 6-3, 4-6, 1-6.

    The seventh ranked player in the world put the retirement announcement down to playing with increased pain.

    “I have pain everywhere after 45 minutes or an hour of play. It’s just body wise I just can’t do it anymore.”

    She added, “Everyone will remember my Wimbledon title. No one will remember the last match I played here. That was probably the last little bit of something that was left inside me.”

    Her retirement starts with immediate effect and she will not be contesting the US Open or any remaining tournaments.

  • Back to the Future! Roger reverts to his old racquet and wins in Cincinnati.

    Back to the Future! Roger reverts to his old racquet and wins in Cincinnati.

    Five-time winner of the Cincinnati Masters event, Roger Federer proceeded into the third round of the Western & Southern Open by defeating Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets (6/3 7/6).

    Federer had been testing a new 98-square-inch head racquet following an early Wimbledon exit, but reverted to his usual 90-square-inch Wilson for his opening match against Kohlschreiber.

    “I’m going to do more racquet testing when I have, again, some more time after the US Open. I was playing for a month with the black one, but it’s a prototype. At the end, I just felt like, you know what, right now I feel like I need to simplify everything and just play with what I know best,” stated Federer in the post-match interview.

    The former world number 1 and 17-time major winner also announced he’d got through the match without any back pain. He has been suffering from recurrent back spasms during the year.

  • Serena Romps Through to Canadian Title Win at the Rogers Cup

    Serena Romps Through to Canadian Title Win at the Rogers Cup

    Serena Williams made short work of unseeded Romanian Sorana Cirstea in today’s final of the Rogers Cup in Toronto, 6-2, 6-0, getting her through the tournament without dropping a set.  The win gave Williams her 8th title of the season, and 54th career WTA trophy.

    Cirstea was playing just her 3rd WTA final, with one win in Tashkent, but she should not feel too disappointed with her tournament.  Her road to the final garnered some big scalps: Jelena Jankovic, Caroline Wozniacki (both former #1’s); defending champ Petra Kvitova, and former Slam-winner Li Na.  Those wins, and at a tournament this high-profile, should take the 23-year-old Romanian’s career to a new level.  It takes her rank to #21 when the new rankings come out tomorrow.

    Nadal Beats Raonic to Win Rogers Cup / Canada Masters 1000

    Rafael Nadal topped his own record in Masters Series titles with win at Rogers Cup in Montreal.

    [divider]

    Rafa won his 25th title at the ATP 1000 level with today’s win over local favorite, Milos Raonic.  The Canadian was making his first appearance in a Masters 1000 final.  In stark contrast to last night’s semifinal against Novak Djokovic, Nadal was in firm control. After breaking Raonic’s service in the first game, the outcome of the match never seemed in doubt.  Raonic’s big weapon, his serve, let him down, as he got broken twice in each set, and only saw break points on Nadal’s serve in one game, in the second set, but failed to convert.  The final score was 6-2, 6-2.

    This was the Spaniard’s 3rd title at this tournament.  The win puts his W-L count to 47-3 for the year, and gives him his 8th title, and 7th Masters trophy at a hard court event.  He now has a commanding lead in the year-to-date point totals, with 8,010.  (Djokovic is in second place with 6,590.)

  • Nadal Prevails Over Djokovic in Epic Rogers Cup Semifinal

    Nadal Prevails Over Djokovic in Epic Rogers Cup Semifinal

    Reversing expectations, and changing the conversation about the upcoming US Open, Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic tonight in their semifinal at the Rogers Cup: 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(2).  It was their first meeting on hard-courts since their epic final at the Australian Open, won by Djokovic, who was hugely favored to win here.  It was also their 36th meeting, tying the Open Era record set by John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl.  Nadal leads the head-to-head 21-15, which matches Lendl’s record over McEnroe.

    Djokovic started sluggishly, the wind possibly a factor, and Nadal broke in the first game.  Djokovic had break points in the second, which possibly set the tone for a long slog, though Nadal prevailed in that game.  Nadal was the dominant player through the first set, but Djokovic broke back with Rafa serving for the set at 5-2, to make things interesting.  On the second time of asking, however, on his serve, Nadal closed it out.

    By the 2nd set, the wind had died down, and Djokovic seemed dialed in, his serve clicking.  From there, it became a dog-fight, and a minor classic.  They fought each other tooth and nail, with many thrilling exchanges until the seemingly inevitable  tiebreak in the 3rd.  Surprisingly, Nadal went up 6-0 before Djokovic countered with two points of his own. Too little, too late, though, and Nadal walked away the better man on the day.

    In the earlier semifinal, Milos Raonic defeated fellow Canadian Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) to get to the final of the Rogers Cup today.  He will face Nadal in the final.  In three encounters, Raonic has never beaten Nadal.  Win or lose tomorrow, though, he will still break into the top 10 for the first time when the ATP rankings come out on Monday.

    Oddly, the only time that Nadal and Djokovic have played as a doubles team they played here, at the Rogers Cup, in 2010.  They lost to a Canadian wild card team:  Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil, all four being the last standing in this year’s Rogers Cup.
