Video: Andy Murray Interview at Rogers Cup

Here's Andy Murray and his doubles partner Colin Fleming after losing the doubles final at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. Sorry about the poor sound quality—Murray wasn't scheduled to talk to the media, as he was in a hurry to go to Cincinnati, but a few of us rushed down to the players area to get a few questions in before he left.

Video: Milos Raonic at the Rogers Cup

I was lucky enough to watch Milos Raonic on the practice courts at the Rogers Cup yesterday. Milos looked great and he seemed to be having a good time with his coach and his practice partner Peter Polansky.

Here's some video footage of his practice session:

A Tribute to Federer's 17 Grand Slams

My intense love for video tributes on the greatness of Roger Federer is a tad lame. But I might as well embrace the love and present you with the ATP's latest video on Federer's 17 Grand Slams. It makes me really happy.

What's Not to Love About Vasek Pospisil?

I love Vasek Pospisil. He might actually be my favourite Canadian tennis player. Vasek just always seems so happy and enthusiastic...and he rarely hides his excitement when he's played a great match.

For example, remember when Pospisil and Raonic played Djokovic and Nadal in a doubles match at the 2010 Rogers Cup? And the young Canadians (who were completely unknown at the time) actually won? Look how excited Pospisil is! 

And then the moment when he truly won me over—when he beat Chela in the first round of the 2011 Rogers Cup and celebrated like he'd just won Wimbledon...

Of course, part of his excitement after the Chela match was that his next round opponent would be none other than his idol Roger Federer. See him fanboying Goffin-style in this interview at the 3:20 mark:

And in this video around the 1:45 mark...

Which leads us to the recent tour of his Roland Garros apartment (which was actually the only video I'd planned on putting in this post, but clearly I got distracted), where Vasek is, of course, funny and charming.

Seriously, I need him to break into the top 50 as soon as possible, so I can watch him play all the time.

David Goffin Loves Roger Federer

Sure, the whole Goffin idolizes Federer thing probably got a bit out of hand, but it was pretty entertaining/sweet/at times awkward. Here are a few of my favourite Goffin/Federer moments from this week...

The now-famous Federer-Goffin hug

Q. Although you lost the match, is this the greatest match in your life?

DAVID GOFFIN: It's definitely the greatest moment in my life. I had never played in such a big stadium against the best player I've ever had as an opponent. This is a moment that I will not forget, and I hope I will have many more in my life.

The fatherly pat on the head by his idol

Q. Is it hard for you to believe at all what you have accomplished so far?

DAVID GOFFIN: No, I don't realize. Not yet. Not yet. Maybe next week. Now I'm playing against Roger and I can't believe it. (Smiling.) When I was young I had a lot of picture in my bedroom of him.

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.

Federer Regains No. 2 Ranking, Wins Madrid

Federer beat Berdych 3-6, 7-5, 7-5 in Madrid to take back his No. 2 ranking from Nadal. Who would have thought that Nadal would drop in the rankings during the clay court season? Certainly not me.

Check out the Madrid award ceremony and Federer's acceptance speech below:

Federer vs. Raonic Highlights in Madrid

Milos Raonic played a highly entertaining match against Roger Federer yesterday in Madrid, and although Federer won, it was very very close. People were already talking about how great a player Milos is, and I think this match proves that it's only a matter of time before he's in the top ten.

Check out highlights from the match below:

Milos Raonic's Harry Rosen Ad Campaign

I posted the behind the scenes video from Federer's Jura commercial yesterday, so I definitely have to post the behind the scenes video from Milos Raonic's Harry Rosen for Lacoste ad campaign. Canada represent!

Making of Federer's Jura Commercial

Roger posted the following message on his facebook page yesterday: "Looking forward to the JURA commercial. Have a look at the making-of. Will show you the final result on Tuesday."

Alright, Rog. If you say I should watch, then I most certainly will. 

Roddick Destroyed by Monaco in Miami

Less than twenty-four hours after beating Roger Federer, Andy Roddick went down in straight sets to Argentina's Juan Moncao. Really, Andy? You knock out a player who could very well have won this title and then you lose to someone who has a zero percent chance of making it to the finals? You frustrate me Andy Roddick.

Watch Andy's press conference after his loss to Juan Monaco...

Tomic Asks Father to Leave During Miami Match

Bernard Tomic's father, John, is known as one of the more controversial parents in the tennis world. So it's perhaps not a surprise that he was involved in a slightly odd situation during his son's match against David Ferrer in Miami.

John Tomic was clearly frustrated by his son's play during the match, and after ignoring Bernard's signals that he should leave, Bernard asked the umpire for help in getting his father removed from the stands.

Bernard told the umpire, "I know he's my father, but he's annoying me. I want him to leave, but how is that possible?"

Watch the video below to see the whole incident take place.

Turning Point for John Isner

So, pretty sure that huge win over Federer at the Davis Cup recently was the turning point for Isner. Apparently he now believes he can beat the top guys and this was evident in his amazing victory over Djokovic in the Indian Wells semi-final. Way to go Roger, you've unleashed the (giant) beast!

No but seriously, I'm really happy for Isner for three reasons:

1) He's been one of my favourite players for awhile now and I'm excited that he's in his first Masters 1000 final
2) I needed Isner to win because if Federer beats Nadal today (I know, I know...unlikely) I didn't want Fed to have to play Djokovic in the final, so I was partially cheering for John because I thought he'd be an easier opponent
3) I'm a little bit in love with John Isner

And with that, I leave you with some highlights from the match:

Andy Murray's Commercial Uncovered

Oh Andy, I just can't get enough of you and your deadpan charm.

Hottest Man in the World Just Touched Me

I'm alive! Sorry for not posting in awhile, but I was busy traipsing around Europe.

Just got back from the Rogers Cup in Montreal, so I'll post some photos from the event later tonight.

But first, some man-love for Rafa...

Unfortunately, the hottest man in the world did not touch me in Montreal. Maybe next year.

Team Pretty vs. Those Other Guys

Feliciano Lopez and Juan Monaco got into a brawl with Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi during their doubles match at the Australian Open. Okay fine. It wasn't a brawl. But it could have been. Seriously...watch the video. It's ridiculous.
