TENNIS - Roland Garros: The 2009 French Open

[651akathepaul]

I watched a bit of SC this morning and saw that Roddick got to the 4th round at the French for the first time ever? Anyone been watching his matches? Does helook like he's on a mission or something?




Probably still won't be able to beat Federer or Nadal, but it's good to see he's still there...You never know I guess.

 

[gunna get it]

wow de ja vu for serena

Her opponent cheated her just like justine did her

I have no respect for these female players at all

 

[tsamshox]

Yo what happened? I turned it on late and seen a bunch of commotion......

 

[gunna get it]

Sanchez came to the net serena ripped a pass (

) at her body
It hit her arm and went in on serenas side to break her

Serena told chair to ask if it hit her arm
Sanchez just walks to her chair
Didn't hone up to it

Serena told chair "that's not cool dude, she better NOT come to the net again"

 

[tsamshox]

Damn and she won the set too

Now that Novak is out, it looks like it will be another Rafa-Fed final. Rafa-Novak would have been a better final, IMO. They're matches in MC, Rome andespecially Madrid were awesome. Oh well, I have a feeling Rafa will straight-set Fed again in the final. He won't bagel him like he did last year though.Now that was total domination..

 

[longrange3ball]

Good to see Andy Roddick comin through to the 4th round.

Monfils vs Roddick will be a good match.

 

[withapassion]

FEDERER!!!!!

It's not working for me. Am I the only one that cant find the matches?

 

[tsamshox]

Monfils facing A-Rod? damn that's gonna be a hell of a match....

Monfils diving rally got top spot on SC's top 10

 

[fear the ibis]

Serena's expression @ the press conference.

 

[Sinner]

As much as I despise Serena, the ball did appear to hit her opponent's arm...

Anyway... looks like Fed's got a clear path to the finals...

Its afreakin conspiracy, I tell ya...

Hopefully, Monfils will have a shotat taking him down... but first he has to get by roddick... Meanwhile, Rafa has to deal with Verdasco and potentially murray...

Day 8: Sunday, 31 May​

EDIT ~ Stop the press! Nadal's 32-set win streak has come to an end!!! He lost the 1st set of his 4th round match to Soderling (SWE)!!! Crazy stuff.

 

[njtrueast]

LETS GO ROGER....THIS YOUR YEAR BOY

 

[Sinner]

Nadal has lost to Robin Soderling (SWE)... this is his first EVER loss at the French Open! Stunning...

In 4 sets too!!! WOW, just WOW.

This is Fed's tourney to lose...

EDIT ~ Ana's out too!!!

Both defending champions are out...

 

[sirius lee handsome]

Wow. Just heard about this. Wish NBC was transmitting the French Open live like in previous years

 

[curious24]

Fed could lose to Sonderling in finals....roddick has a chance to

 

[eye see soles]

Maybe Roger has a chance now.

Broma Bull out. Wow.

word ... i been following gamecast on espn.com .... ridiculous how no channel picked this up .... wow .... i thought mcenroe was joking when he said rafa wouldbe tested by this guy but

.... damn ... its up for grabs ... andy is playing well... roger may feel relaxed ... murray .... who wants it
they played a few months ago too ... rafa smacked him 6-0,6-1 ... wow

 

[bud dink]

Roger easily has his 14th now. djokovic is the only other player who could take him and he's out

nothing comes easy for roger these days .... but i hope so ... they were already talking about rafa going for the slam

 

[eagle 0n]

Shocking.

 

[Sinner]

The disappointing thing about these type of upsets is that while Soderling played like a possessed man today... a lot of times, these players aren't ableto reproduce these 'career' performances in the next round, sometimes going down in straight sets. I certainly hope this isn't the case for him. He will likely meet Verdasco in the quarters and if he gets past him, Murray in the semis...

Roddick has had a pretty quiet and efficient road thus far... who knows, he might be able to pull an upset on Fed.

 

[youngbuck32]

OH MY GOD. BIGGEST UPSET EVER.

Soderling? Of all people to beat Rafa it was %$*$#!@ Soderling? Look, Rafa showed that he was vulnerable at times this clay court season but for him to lose atRG to Soderling doesn't make any %$*$#!@ sense. Not only is movement suspect but Rafa killed him in Rome by 0 & 1.

I want a damn investigation into match fixing.

 

[Sinner]

^ did you watch the match?
