really depressing to watch, sort of glad it's over

tsonga was on fire today, that ouanna dude wasn't even playing as bad as the score/statsheet would indicat

um

looks like rezai is struggling in the 2nd set, and also looks like fed and pennetta are going to get through (fed looked lazy throughout most of the first set)

ouch

play suspended, once again. rezai @ 1 set apiece with some german woman, kuznetsova down a set to some other german woman

monfils had just gotten onto the court against fognini, and thiemo de bakker is up a mini-break with a set point at 6-4 against ggl, 1 set all

it seems that Nadal is the clear favorite to win this French Open. Federer doesn't look as dominant as he was earlier this year, but it's Federer, he'll make it happen when it counts.

As for the women's side, it seems to me that there is no clear favorite. It's pretty wide open. Venus seems to be playing well. I don't think Henin will win this year, but a Sharapova/Henin third round should be interesting. :]

This. He even says he doesnt want to waste energy in the first few matches when it's not needed to proceed to the next round.

Today he lost 1 out of like 9 break points against him. When it gets tough he just plays on a higher level. Hope he can win this year again! :)

Söderling looking strong too by the way. I almost felt bad for the guy he last played; 6-0,6-1,6-1

Two days ago I complained how they were only broadcasting the match of the only player from my country *(Holland), But now he won again! *Go Thiemo de Bakker* !

The women's tournament is a mess as always. Anyone can win it -_-

Still seems the level of women's tennis is not very high at the moment, seeing how henin and kim clijsters can return to the top this easily.

Tomorrow again some interesting matches!

Fernando Verdasco(ESP)[7] vs. Florent Serra(FRA)

Horacio Zeballos(ARG) vs. Rafael Nadal(ESP)[2]

Alisa Kleybanova(RUS)[28] vs. Ana Ivanovic(SRB)

Oleksandr Dolgopolov Jr(UKR) vs. Fernando Gonzalez(CHI)[12]

And for you Americans ;)

Andy Roddick(USA)[6] vs. Blaz Kavcic(SLO)

I think its kinda inappropriate for a sports game and she looks gross in it aswell ha.

more rain today

also, rofl @ monfils choking yesterday, and then fognini blowing his break lead and wasting match points. i honestly have no idea how that one is going to turn out, classic choke artist war.



as for today, once it stops raining or w.e

wouldn't be surprised if jankovic lost to kanepi, since kanepi is p. good when she actually shows up

thinking verdasco loses at least a set, maybe more

nadal will probably win like 2, 1, and 4 or something


couple of other potentially interesting, unmentioned matches-

djokovic/nishikori - probably the one i'm looking forward to the most

melzer/mahut - always loved melzers game, plus he's playing a frenchie

darcis/almagro - darcis can play, on a given day. probably not today, but wouldn't exactly be surprised if almagro got taken out

malisse/ferrer - both players extremely talented
