Any winners/unforced errors stats from the 1st set?

More winners from Bartoli. Even amount of errors.

did anyone see the first match that was on at Eurosport today? which match was that?
I think it was a match from yesterday. I was mistaken by an hour and the Bartoli - Cibulkovia match was allready on...

they showed Cibulkova-Jankovic match before live coverage

too bad..I saw the match point on the WTA site and I would have loved to record that moment on my hard disk...

What's the weather forecast like? When might play resume?

Still raining?

They said play might resume in half an hour.

Try that. Just find wta rogers cup in the list.

Bartoli asks the umpire to check the lines. There may be another rain delay.

Match suspended.

Damn! Another rain delay. Stay strong Domi!

eurosport said bye...

I propose the next break is another fake injury break by Bartoli if she falls behind towards the end of the set. What are the odds?

i have a feeling shes trying to get inside domi's head.
go domi!

Bartoli... That overweight oompa-loompa. Stay strong, Domi. Put her away in the second, and take it in the third.

I propose the next break is another fake injury break by Bartoli if she falls behind towards the end of the set. What are the odds?

:lol::lol::lol: I was just thinking that.

Any idea of when play will resume?

It's raining pretty steadily in Cote de Neige, which is something like 5 or 6 metro stops from the tournament site.

Suppose to be like this tomorrow as well

If the rain doesn't end in time today, will they schedule the semis and final tomorrow like they did in Stockholm?

they'll be forced to

Suppose to be like this tomorrow as well

:shrug: How on earth are they going to finish this tournament?

so what was the score before they stopped?

:shrug: How on earth are they going to finish this tournament?

They ended on a Monday 2 years ago.. same story.

This isnt Stockholm! Marion has no other tournament commitments next week, But Dinara is Olympic bound isnt she?

This isnt Stockholm! Marion has no other tournament commitments next week, But Dinara is Olympic bound isnt she?

Sveta is leaving from Moscow to go to Beijing on Tuesday. So if Dinara makes the final, my guess is she'll have to fly from Montreal to Beijing. ...but I do think that Vesnina and Zvonareva pulled out of Rogers Cup doubles b/c of the Olympics.

livescore shows Safina v. Azarenka. Well, it shows the names. Maybe?

azarenka and safina are on court :)

any live stream?

Domi's match now on the scoreboard. :)

Lets Go Domi!!
