Upset City
Once again, a number of upsets have taken both the WTA and ATP Tours by storm. On the ladies side, World #1 Ana Ivanovic was stunned in the second round of in Montreal, 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 against Tamira Paszek from Austria. The men's tour saw the biggest upset take place, as Roger Federer was ousted from the Western Financial draw at the hands of Croatia's Ivo Karlovic. As stated before on Tennis Talk, Roger is in an absolute state of shock after losing to Rafa at Wimbledon, and could be in deep trouble with the US Open approaching. Coming up, Carlos Moya will face the red hot Andy Murray, expect a fun match-up between the two baseline grinders.

I'm a Rafa fan all the way but Roger is still more than impressive. If you think about it the only guy that usually challenges him and beats him is Rafa. He beats everyone else 99% of the time so I don't call that a slump.
I think he and Rafa need to take some time off.
