Andy Murray won the Rogers Cup title on Sunday, and notched three firsts along with it: (1) he won his first title of 2010, (2) he beat both Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer in the same tournament for the first time (he did this feat last year but it was in exhibition), and (3) he becomes the first man to defend the Rogers Cup since Andre Agassi did it in 1995. While I am disappointed that Rafa lost, I still have high hopes that he can find his stride on the hard courts in the next few weeks and finally break through in Flushing Meadow and notch his first US Open title.
On the women's side, Kim Clijsters saves three matchpoints to beat Maria Sharapova in Cincinnati. This is Kim's 3rd title this year, and it's quite interesting since Cincinnati is where she made her comeback last year. This come-from-behind title victory must give Clijsters a lot of confidence going into the US Open, which she has won twice before.
