Before the rains came and washed away all the play, there were actually things happening at the Rogers Cup—like matches and practice sessions.

Gasquet and Dimitrov's Ridiculous Rally at French Open
I'm a little bit obsessed with this video of a ridiculously long rally between Richard Gasquet and Grigor Dimitrov at the French Open yesterday. When the point finally ends Gasquet vomits on the court and Dimitrov falls to the ground and starts writhing in pain because he's cramping. It's crraaazzzyyy.

Day 5: French Open Men's Matches to Watch
Milos Raonic vs. Jesse Levine (first match on Court 3)
Who doesn't love a little Canadian vs. American action? Although interestingly enough, although he's listed as an American player, Jesse Levine was actually born in Canada. Milos is the clear favourite to win this match, but who knows, Mr. Canadian-turned-American might find a way to give Milos some trouble. I'm going with Raonic in three sets.
Marcos Baghdatis vs. Nicolas Almagro (second match on Court 2)
Like the other Spaniards, Almagro is a pretty decent clay court player, but Baghdatis has never done so well on the clay. But regardless of his poor record on this surface, Baghdatis is rarely boring, and so this is a match I'm interested in watching. I'll go with Almagro winning in four sets.
Richard Gasquet vs. Grigor Dimitrov (fifth match on Court Suzanne Lenglen)
And now we come to a match between two highly touted players who didn't quite live up to their expected potential. I'm going to go with Gasquet pulling through in four sets, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him crash out in straight sets either.

Practice Court Shots: Rafa, Fed, Murray, etc.
Lots of rain delays at the Rogers Cup today, and it looks like some of the matches might get rescheduled. Here's hoping that things clear up soon so we'll still get to see the beloved Rafa/Novak doubles match tonight.
And to keep us occupied while waiting for the rain to stop, here are some of my photos of the players practicing...
For more photos of Rafa practicing click here, more photos of Federer click here, and more of Feliciano Lopez and Frank Dancevic click here.
