Rogers Cup Photos: Djokovic and Tipsarevic Practice
Could there be a better practice session than the one that happened on Tuesday at the Rogers Cup between Novak Djokovic and a shirtless Janko Tipsarevic? Pretty sure the fans didn't think so...

Video: Interview with Tipsarevic at Rogers Cup LIVE!
Janko Tipsarevic participated in an interview and Q&A session with fans on Monday at a Rogers Cup promotional event at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto. I was able to capture most of the interview on video, so check out the two videos below to see what Janko had to say.
In this video, Tipsarevic discusses his friendship with the other Serbian players on the tour and why he thinks events like Davis Cup are important.
In the next video, Janko gives his thoughts on Murray's gold medal win, the humidity in Toronto, and his chances for success at the Rogers Cup.

Tipsarevic at Yonge-Dundas Square for Rogers Cup LIVE!
Janko Tipsarevic made an appearance at Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square today to promote this week's Rogers Cup. After participating in a Q&A session with fans, Tipsarevic played tennis with young kids on a mini-tennis court and then signed autographs and was interviewed by various media outlets. He seemed to enjoy himself and was enthusiastic about playing with the children and answering questions from both fans and journalists.

More Love for the Serbian Davis Cup Team
I don't know what's going on with me lately, but I have some serious love for the Serbian Davis Cup team. But how could I not? Look how happy they are! It melts my icy heart.

Davis Cup Hero of the Day: Janko Tipsarevic
Janko Tipsarevic was on fire today in his Davis Cup match against Radek Stepanek. He defeated Stepanek in straight sets, giving Serbia the win over the Czech Republic. Janko's victory also means that Serbia will go to the Davis Cup final in December for the first time ever where they will face France.
I was rooting for Serbia to win, since I love Tipsy and don't particularly like Stepanek, but I was sort of surprised to find myself getting teary eyed when Janko won the match and the Serbian team rushed over to celebrate with him. It was a great celebration though, with Janko falling to his knees and gesturing for his teammates to come join him, and really, who doesn't love an emotional sports win? Check it out for yourself:

Murray Looks Questionable at Farmers Classic
Andy Murray did not look good yesterday. True, he did win his match, but it took him three sets to win against an opponent who he should have beaten very easily. It was obvious when watching the match that something was wrong, but it was hard to tell exactly what. In a later interview Murray said "I was struggling a little bit with my movement, when I got stiff and sore. But I managed to find a way to win." So there you have it. He was stiff and sore. Which is fine I guess, but also a little worrisome. But maybe it was just a "first match back" thing and he'll be totally fine for the rest of the tournament, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Looks like there will be some good Quarterfinal matches today at the Farmers Classic. In fact, all of the singles matches have the potential to be interesting:
Schuettler vs. Querrey (predicted winner: Querrey)
Tipsarevic vs Baghdatis (predicted winner: Tipsarevic)
Lopez vs. Blake (predicted winner: Lopez)
Murray vs. Falla (predicted winner: Murray)
Sam Querrey is the defending champion but he's likely going to have to go through Murray to win the title. In a previous post I predicted a Murray/Querrey final and I still think that's likely. Let's just hope Murray isn't stiff and sore tonight.

Baghdatis, Tipsarevic, Murray and More!
Nice work by Marcos Baghdatis to beat American Ryan Sweeting 36 62 63 at the Farmers Classic in Los Angeles. Okay, so maybe Baghdatis should have won in straight sets since this Sweeting character is only ranked 118th in the world, but this is the first tournament back for Baggy since Wimbledon so let's just be happy for him, okay?
Congrats also to Janko Tipsarevic (who is quickly becoming my favourite player on tour because he is the best tennis tweeter ever!) who defeated Somdev Devvarman from India 76(9) 62. At least this was a straight sets win. Goooo Tipsy!
Baghdatis and Tipsarevic will face each other in the next round, and my money is on Tipsarevic to win the match. I think I'm choosing Tipsarevic solely on the fact that he seems to be on a roll with his twitter account, and therefore I assume he'll be on a roll on the court. And yes, I'm aware that my thought process in this instance is idiotic.
On to Andy Murray! Very, very excited that he'll be playing tomorrow. My Murray love seems to be growing everyday and I have no idea why. He should win his match fairly easily since I've never even heard of his American opponent, Tim Smyczek (just looked him up and he's ranked 192 in the world, so yeah, Murray might want to beat him).
Other matches tomorrow include Feliciano Lopez vs. Dudi Sela (worth watching just because Feli Lopez is perhaps the most attractive athlete on the ATP tour), Alejandro Falla vs. Ernests Gulbis (remember how Falla almost beat Federer at Wimbledon?) and James Blake vs Benjamin Becker (not so interesting).
Is it bad that I just want all of these smaller tournaments to be over so that the Rogers Cup can start and I can see Federer and Nadal again?

Farmers Classic, Early Predictions
Definitely excited to see Andy Murray back in action again, and he's the clear favourite to win the Farmers Classic this week in Los Angeles. Keep in mind though that I said Andy Roddick was the clear favourite to win in Atlanta last week and he didn't even make it to the finals. But really, did anyone have Mardy Fish as the favourite to win that tournament? I don't think so.
Okay, on to my predictions...
Semifinals:
Andy Murray vs. Feliciano Lopez
Janko Tipsarevic vs. Sam Querrey
Finals:
Andy Murray vs. Sam Querrey
Winner:
Andy Murray
I'm not feeling very confident about my Lopez and Tipsarevic picks, but I do think that a Murray/Querrey final is a real possibility.
