Azarenka out of Rome with an injured shoulder.

Hmmm

From what I've seen so far, a lot of the matches are slow (is to be expected on clay) and dull! I'm looking forward to the quarters/semis

Though Ivanovic/Sharapova later

Roddick down to #29 in the world

Used to be so much better when it was always Federer vs Roddick instead of Nadal

3 out of 6 Brits win their first Roland Garros qualifying matches - Jamie Baker, Heather Watson and Laura Robson.

I fully expect Watson to qualify with relative ease. Robson has a decent chance. Baker is currently down a set and a break in his second round, so very unlikely.

Murray seeded to face Tomic in round 3. Potential toughie. Then probably Gasquet in round 4, who he lost to a couple of weeks ago. If he gets through that, Ferrer will probably be waiting for him. Tough draw for someone in questionable form.

Watson draws Vesnina in round one. She's not had a great year but did reach a final on clay a few weeks ago. Tough one to call, but I think experience will prevail in the end. prove me wrong, Heather! Winner probably faces Goerges.

Keothavong draws Czink. Winnable, but Anne is in horrendous form lately. She needs to win to stand a chance of qualifying for the Olympics. Maybe this will give her a boost. Winner faces Pavlyuchenkova or Arn.

Baltacha gets the short straw - draws Stosur. Hope she can win a couple of games!

Not holding out much for Murray, definitely be surprised to see him going further than the 4th round

Are Eurosport 2 kidding.

"As soon as the Sabine Lisicki game ends we'll be switching over to that court to watch the next match, until then we'll be sticking with the current game" Horrible bastards
