Yeah the roof was good because they said it was raining and we didnt beileve them then when we went outside after it was still raining so it works. And yeah it was really good seeing the players as well that was the best part

I'll be watching that. Looking forward to it. I saw the exhib as well. CAnt believe how good Steffi Graf looked! She hits just as hard, and I cant believe she's been gone for 10 years now. It was like she never left, except for her conditioning of course.
But for the Open, I dont think its gonna be a walk for Nadal this time. Federer just beat him in Madrid, and I can see some upsets.
Personally, I am rooting for Monfils.

You've got a point.. but I just don't see Nadal letting up! It'll take something incredible to beat him in Paris. However both Fed and Novak have proven that they can (Novak having 3 M.P in Madrid semi) So I'm excited for that!
The women's looks good too, Safina has been in excellent form, as has Kuznetsova and then there's Ivanovic who is defending the title. Then there is obviously the Williams' sisters to look out for and Jankovic who's already won a clay title this year and Dementieva is always in contention :) exciting time we live in for tennis!
Tough opening match for Ivanovic, she goes through to 2nd Round with a 7-6 6-3 victory over Errani.
Li Na, Bacsinszky, Pavlyuchenkova are also through to the 2nd Round

Djokovic to win ! I'm fed up of Nadal winning as much as I was fed up with Federed winning it all (except Roland Garros).
Time for another title holder now. :thumbs:
So far the competition has been good, all of the favourites got through.

Novak got beat Remy*looks sad*
Anas still in there fighting though
I'm freaking out for Nadal...(Even though I kindov really don't like him)
I love to see him win. If Soldering wins the match it will give Federer a really good chance for the final and maybe to win.
Murry doing fantastic today.
Roddick and Monfils were very, very good yesterday. Definetly two to watch for. Roddick was on amazing form yesterday, amazing shot after amazing shot. Monfils, again. amazing shots over and over, he just gives out such passion... brilliant!
French Open always makes me excited for Wimbledon. It makes my summer.
BigSister

Yeah im worried for Nadal currently *crosses fingers tightly*
To say this is Murrays worse one and hes never gone past the fourth round hes doing pretty good
Fantastic for Murray.
Really brilliant.
*Happy*

To say this is his worse slam as well quarters is great. Equealed Wimbledon from last year anyway ^_^
After his 3rd round match I was really doubtful if this one would be exciting.. it was. His best match so far.
What is the current scoring on Nadal V Soldering?
EDIT:
It's finally came on Red Button.
6-2 5-4 to Nadal. (Currently)
BigSister

Rafals wining 5-3 in the 2nd set so if he gets this one its back to 1-1
I want Soderling to break him... what an achievement it would be.
Then again I want Nadal to win, at the same time I don't want Nadal to win as I need Federer to win this open.
Wildcat!

Man this French open is craaazy! Nadal got unceremoniously dismissed in sets, now I see federer down 2-0. Unbelievable. (oops actually Federer won coming back from 2- down. LOL, I was watchig a replay)
But it is what I predicted. I said one of the french will win it this year, either Tsonga, Mathieu or Monfils. BUt I wasnt expecting to see Murray or Roddick to still be around.
Either way, great open. I guess the players have decided enough is enough!
Wildcat!
01-06-2009, 07:13 PM
LOL!, Tsonga got eliminated. But Nonfils is beating Roddick atm!
Captain.Remy
01-06-2009, 07:16 PM
I couldn't be happier that Nadal lost, it was getting boring to see him win every year just like Federer did with Wimbledon.
This open is crazy dude, I agree with you Ama, it's very unpredictable. I'm still stunned Tsonga lost but Monfils is on the good way to win tonight.
BigSister
01-06-2009, 07:22 PM
ooh is it still playing I didnt know that
YES... I am extremely happy. Federer - with a rocky start- is through. I am so relieved, looks like he will be playing Monfils in the quarters. Come on Rodger. :D
Also... Hahahaha @ Nadal.
Captain.Remy
01-06-2009, 07:27 PM
Monfils is kicking Roddick's ass, this is so great. It's going to be a good quarter final against Rodger.
Wildcat!
01-06-2009, 07:35 PM
He is, and Roddick want them to stop the match because its getting dark. LOL.
Aint gonna happen. 2 sets to love. 5-3 3rd set. Monfils is so much fun to watch, the crowd always goes crazy!!!!
Wildcat!
01-06-2009, 07:41 PM
ITs over!!! Monfils crushed Andy Roddick, and the jackass didnt even shake the empire's hand!!! Such bad sportsmanship!
Does anyone know if there is a day summary on BBC or something? they didnt even show the game. I watched it online.
BigSister
01-06-2009, 07:47 PM
Yeah theres the day as it happened but it doesnt cover that match as they had to go before it started

I can see a Murray - Federer finale very easily. Don't know who would take the title tho.
As for the women, I can see Safina against Serena Williams. This should be a good finale to watch, very very close one if it happens.
I think both of the finales, if they are like I predicted are probably going to be very close and entertaining to watch. Some of the best finales ever.
I really want Rodger to get the title. He wants it so much - not that he is the only one who wants it - but I feel Murray will have MANY years to clinch it, Federer needs it.. LOL
Wildcat!
01-06-2009, 08:01 PM
YOu cant discount soerdeling after what he did though! He is gonna be hard to knock off, so is Monfils.
And non one is talking about Del Porto. He's only lost one set. my prediction for the finals
Del Porto- Soerdling or Monfils-soerdeling
The girls
Sharapova- Williams

Gael lost man! Pretty gutted about that! :sad:
But well done Roger federer. He was pretty much perfect today. Great champion.
I am sooo happy.
He has done it... he is so close to winning this grand slam... I'm excited for him. Ahhh, I love Rodger.
Wildcat!
03-06-2009, 04:21 PM
:sad: :sad: He is alright I guess!!
Naa, just kidding:tongue:. He deserves a French open, after coming so close, so many times. And he ha played really good today. His best so far! Good luck to him.

Gutted for Monfils because I knew he was going to loose but not in 3 sets. Federer is obviously now the big favourite which makes it less enjoyable to me. I really hoped he is going to get eliminated even though it won't happen. But well done to him I guess.

I am like you LOl! I always root against the people that win all the time. Thats why I always root against Man U in England, Against the English teams in the champions league, and against Brazil and Italy in the WC! :laugh:
But dont worry, there are still good players left. Dont forget, Soerdeling beat Nadal, and Del Porto and Gonzalez are pretty good. So he Federer still have a lot of opposition in front of him.
Wildcat!

Monfils will be back though. You guys have a lot of good players now. Someone is going to win rolland Garros really soon! Any of the French guys in the top 30.

I'm rooting for Soederling now ! He knew him before but he didn't blew me away. But now, I discovered a great player with a very powerful game.
So I hope the final will be Soederling against Gonzalez. :hugesmile:

Im going for Del Porto! yeaah!!!
BigSister

remy they are playing each other in the semis so they cant play one another. Shame though because that would have been the final i would have wanted too
I'm scared...
Federer needs to pick up his game or he will lose...
Long time no post!!
I am very glad Kuznetsova won the title :bigsmile: but I am also pretty upset that Safina didn't bring her game to the court today!
Definately want Soderling to win tomorrow, I think the best prize of beating Nadal on clay is the title and he would have definately earned it this fortnight! But then again Federer should win to equal Sampras' 14 grand slam titles and he has never won the French Open so it would make it a career grand slam for him! Should be an awesome match! :bouncy: I'm excited!
Ahhh!! I'm excited! :bigsmile:
Soderlings amazing fortnight can continue today! Even if he doesn't win he has so much to take from 2009 French Open. But Federer needs to win for a boost and for the infamous 14 grand slams! and to get a little closer to No.1 again

I'm happy Kuztnetsova won but I feel sad for Safina. I mean, she lost twice in a row and looked gutted after. I hope she does win an international open, I feel the US Open does fit her well.
US Open, Australian Open... they have WILLIAMS written all over them lol
First set to Fed. 6-1 - Playing very well!
Federer Wins!!!
6-1 7-6 6-4 :cheer2:
He is now officially one of the greatest players ever in tennis history! (though he was one of the best in my eyes before this win :tongue:)
I am SO happy.
14 Grand Slams. Awesome.
I love me some Roger. :lovedup:
