Rather expectedly, Roger Federer won the Rogers Cup. How fitting!
It’s his 53rd successive win in North American harcourts, and his 40th tournament title. I won’t go into statistics. His records go on and on. Well, it has been quite a week for the world no.1. Six straight days of playing, with the last four matches being thrilling three setters. He looked a lot more human here than he was at Wimbledon - in the grass courts he knows best. I wonder if he’ll play at Cincinnati this week, with the U.S. Open coming too close.
Anyway, Gasquet put off a good fight, especially in the first half of the match. He lost at 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. He’s certainly very promising, with all the good shots he managed to make. Plus, he came to the finals losing only one set against top players. I’ll watch him closely then; I prefer him to Andy Murray, who looks to me as someone so full of himself.
So I’m signing off for now. I’ll be back when the U.S. Open starts. Ciao!
