2007 French Open

[NDSUFREAK]

Serena down 5-4. She was down 5-2 but has made a comeback.

[th0m]

Rain 1
Tennis 0

:D

[NDSUFREAK]

and we have been back for awhile and not Serena has one 9 straight games to win the 2nd 6-1 and into the 3rd leading 3-0. (She lost the first 7-5)

[Grizalltheway]

I really hope Fed can pull out the win this year. If does, he'll have a realistic shot at winning at least 7 slams in a row! xeekx That alone would give him the crown of best ever. xbowx xbowx

[NDSUFREAK]

Still rain delays...

[NDSUFREAK]

RODDICK IS OUT IN THE 1ST ROUND

Gotta love that French hospitality!:p

[NDSUFREAK]

Blake is also gone......

[AppGuy04]

Blake is also gone......

ouch! We didn't have many to root for in the first place

[Grizalltheway]

WOW! We really need to build some clay courts here in the states, this is getting pathetic!

[NDSUFREAK]

Very true because all US men are out.... (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/french07/news/story?id=2886302)

[furpal87]

Of all the places they play tennis, that's the one I hate the most. clay is dull, the French are obnoxious, and the success rate is practically zero.

[AppGuy04]

The chick Venus was playing was hot!!!

[Grizalltheway]

Yes, the frogs are obnoxious, but I find clay-court tennis pretty interesting to watch. There's a lot more thinking and strategy involved than on hard courts, and the American men showed they just weren't capable of that. You can't just smash your way to the title like Roddick did at the US Open (and every other tournament he's won).

Ehh...I'd hit it! :D :D

[AppGuy04]

Federer is about to lose a setxeekx xeekx xeekx xeekx

[th0m]

Yeah he lost a set 6-1 to Robredo, but won the remaining 2 sets easily. I didn't tune in until after, but wth happened???

[NDSUFREAK]

Yeah he lost a set 6-1 to Robredo, but won the remaining 2 sets easily. I didn't tune in until after, but wth happened???

he won in 4 sets and easily too. 7-5 2-6 6-1 6-2

[Grizalltheway]

It was insane how quickly he put his foot on the gas and just steamrolled Robredo, especially after losing a set 1-6.

[AppGuy04]

it was 6-1 and then all of the sudden, he dominated the 3rd, freaking jekyll and hyde

[AppGuy04]

Nadal is taking on his childhood idol Carlos Moya for the last semifinal spot. The winner will join Roger Feder, Nikolai Davydenko, and Novak Djokovic in the semis

[AppGuy04]

Nadal wins the first set 6-4

[tribe_pride]

Well only one more warm up match for Nadal and Fed before the tournament begins.

[AppGuy04]

Yep, Nadal wins 6-4,6-3,6-0, very easily

The other 2 semifinalist are nobodys

While not Nadal or Fed, Djokovic and Daveydenko are the 6 and 4 (and has been 3) players in the world. Unless you consider everyone but Nadal and Fed as nobodys (which may be fair), those two are at least somebodys

on clay, everyone else is a nobodyxnodx

[Grizalltheway]

While I'm a fan of Federer, Nadal is looking more and more unstoppable at Roland Garros. Fed is going to have to play a very attacking style of tennis to beat him in the final. If he stays back and tries to beat him from the baseline, he doesn't stand a chance.

[NDSUFREAK]

I sure hope that Mr. Federer wins the French. He knows he can since he already beat Nadal in a clay court tourney. True, it wasn't Roland Garros, but it was clay.

[Grizalltheway]

Either way it should be an entertaining final (assuming they both make it there), neither player is going down without a fight.

[Grizalltheway]

This may be the most attractive semi-final ever (I don't mean tennis-wise)

6-2, 6-1 in a semi is pathetic

Davydenko breaks Federer to begin the match

Guess they are not carrying the match live.

[AppGuy04]

Guess they are not carrying the match live.

Don't tell me

[AppGuy04]

Fed win 7-5, 7-6, 7-6 in by far his closest match of the tournament

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Fed win 7-5, 7-6, 7-6 in by far his closest match of the tournament

Didn't Federer drop a set in the quarters?

[AppGuy04]

Nadal will join him, he wins 7-5, 6-4, 6-2

[AppGuy04]

Didn't Federer drop a set in the quarters?

yeah, but then blew the guy out in the other 3

[NDSUFREAK]

OHHH MAN!! This is the match I was waiting for......

[AppGuy04]

OHHH MAN!! This is the match I was waiting for......

Judging from the way each played today, I'm gonna go with Rafa!!xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx xnodx

I have to agree, but I'm crossing my fingers that Fed can pull off the "upset".

Me too. I just can't pull for a man who wears capri pants! :D

Those sugar-coating announcers always call them "clam-diggers"! Plus, he picks his seat every two seconds. What a weirdo. xnutsx

[AppGuy04]

They are showing the women's final right now, and its LIVE on NBC

[AppGuy04]

Justine Henin with a dominating performance, 6-1, 6-2

[Grizalltheway]

Argh, Nadal wins again in 4 sets. It really looked as though Roger had a chance to win it after he took the second set, but then he just went back to trying to win from the baseline, and it was downhill from there. He was also a n unforced error machine, think he had something like 60 for the match. xeekx
Oh well, on to Wimbledon...

[NDSUFREAK]

This was just deja vu from last year. got a set but nothing else. Mr. Federer will regain his greatness on grass.

[ngineer]

Watched through the second set, but couldn't 'devote' more time to it. Looked like it was going to be long match. Surprised Federer collapsed, cause it looked like he had figured out a plan in the second set...
