If you're not a fan, then women's tennis may only bring to mind Anna Kournikova and grunting (although you may be thinking about those things anyway). But in reality, it's much more than that. Tennis is one of the few sports where men's and women's competition is actually treated with the same amount of attention since they play at a very similar level. And today's Rogers Cup action at Uniprix Stadium brings together some of the best players in the world. If you haven't been yet, today's definitely a good day. Tournament favourite Ana Ivonovic will play 18 year-old Czech Petra Kvitova in the afternoon, but it’s the evening session that is studded with stars. Three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova, faces off against Marta Domachowska for only the second time ever and Quebec's own Aleksandra Wozniak takes on the number 2 seed, "Weird" Jelena Jankovic. I know that's a lot of Slavic names flying at you all at once, but believe me when I say that most of them are the best in the world.
