Cincinnati and Montreal Results

On the first day of the Western & Southen Financial Group Masters, James Blake continued his very dissapointing season, losing in 3 sets to Igor Kunitsyn. John Isner, Tomas Berdych and Lleyton Hewitt, who took out Roland Garros finalist Robin Soderling, all advanced. At the Rogers Cup in Montreal, Victoria Azarenka, Ana Ivanovic and Flavia Pennetta all advanced, as did Kim Clijsters, playing in the 2nd tournament of her comeback run.
