The two number one seeds have continued their march in search of the crown at Roland Garros. Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova both advanced in straight sets at the French Open which is good news for the duo but bad news for the rest of the field. When those two are on…well…it’s just not good […]
The name of the game at the French Open this morning was lengthy, draining five-set matches for Gael Monfils and Ivan Ljubicic. I watched a bit of it on the tellie, but the scores themselves provide proof for how back-and-forth these two amazing matches were.
Monfils and Jurgen Melzer traded sets with Melzer winning the first […]
They say when it’s your time to go, you just go. Serena Williams and Andy Murray discovered that today at the French Open.
Murray lost to Nicolas Almagro 6-3, 7-6, 6-3, 6-3 and ended Murray’s hopes of making a run into the second week at Roland Garros. Perhaps Murray was living up to his recent declarations […]
So many amazing things happened today at the French Open I don’t know where to start. Okay, for some of the players, it wasn’t so amazing, but I’m a spectator and a blogger for a reason…to not care about how the players who lost felt except for when it’s convenient for me to feel for […]
I love the two weeks at all four of the Grand Slams. They are generally the best eight weeks out of the year, but there is just so darn much going on it’s hard to keep on top of it!
Novak Djokovic is through to the third round after demolishing Miguel Angel Lopez Jaen in straight […]
The first round at Roland Garros has been disrupted by rain for the past three days. I keep hopping online when I get home from work in anticipation of big winners and unexpected losers. With all the rain delays, the tennis action in Paris hasn’t even gotten out of the first round yet.
Three-time defending champion […]
The early morning update (for me anyway - darn west coast time!) - Roger Federer ousted the American Sam Querrey in the first round of the French Open. Bummer dude. I liked Querrey but he had one heck of a hard first round draw. Even when Federer is off his game, he’s formidable and not […]
And it’s under way! The French Open has officially kicked off and I couldn’t be more excited…until Wimbledon comes up anyway.
Quick recap of what happened today. On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic worked his way through Denis Gremelmayr in four sets. Novak lost the first set but rallied to win the next three. Gremelmayr is […]
And the hits just keep on comin’. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won’t be reprising his role as the breakthrough player at the French Open. After stunning success at the Australian Open early this year, Tsonga was on everyone’s Players to Watch list.
Due to a knee injury, Tsonga has pulled out before play starts at Roland Garros tomorrow. […]
The pairings are out for the French Open, and there are going to be some interesting first-round matches.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing is Roger Federer’s match-up with Sam Querrey. Querrey had some big results earlier this season on clay; what can he do against the world number one? Lleyton Hewitt has Nicholas Mahut in […]
