With all the rain that greeted my arrival in Cincinnati on the first day of the Western and Southern Open, any worries I may have had about a fear of missing out were allayed by one pretty torrential rain in the region – not good news for my well travelled, but ultimately non-rain-proof fabric Converses.

It did not take long for Roberto Bautista Agut to begin his Most Improved Player of the Year campaign in 2014.

This was pretty straightforward: Marin Cilic broke once in the middle of the first set, and again at the beginning of the second, and he was never broken. It's his fourth title of the year -- twice as many as he had ever won before even if you ignore the fact that one of them was the U. S. Open.
Rafael Nadal and a whole host of other seeds are out, but the third-round schedule at the Shanghai Rolex Masters is still an intriguing one.

Perhaps no part of the men's singles draw is more intriguing than the bottom quarter, where Roger Federer leads the way as the No. 2 seed. If the 17-time Grand Slam champion gets past Roberto Bautista Agut in the third round, he will next go up against either Grigor Dimitrov or Gael Monfils. Talk about an absolutely loaded section of the bracket!
