Sorry, got swamped yesterday. I actually had to do some work--imagine!?! Nadal is WAY classier than Rog. I wish he got more credit for that. Uncle Toni is PO'ed though--and rightfully so in my opinion. The French crowd was ridiculous. Today is going to be awesome! Lots of great tennis going on. I'm so glad Cibulkova closed it out but would it have killed her to give us a beautiful double bagel for Shrieks? And how about that destruction of Davydenko? Soderling isn't messing around. Hooray for Gonzo! It's nice to see at least 1 clay court specialist make it into the quarters. There was no way Andy Murray was going to beat Fed anyway and I just don't like him, so there. But another stressful day for us? Sveta and Serena, a win/win. I'm still giving this side of the draw the edge because I'm still not convinced Safina's been tested enough to go against a power player. She's got it in her though. And please, please, please Lord smile down on Gael! |

Work? Don't our bosses know the French Open is going on?! I didn't have to work until 3pm yesterday, so I got to watch after an early workout. Good stuff. Feliz Cumpleanos, Rafa! I hope he's out celebrating with his friends and family on the lovely Mallorcan beaches. I'm happy for Sam Stosur. Looks like she may be the "suprise" semifinalist this year. Serena's going to have to dig deep down a set and a break. If anyone can do it, she can. Allez Gael! I think he can do it, but as Johnny Mac pointed out yesterday, he's got to believe he can beat Roger. Hopefully Gael can get the crowd super-hyped and totally throw Roger. OK, so I have a twisted scenario. How funny would it be if Soderling met Fed in the final and beat him?! I really think it's becoming more of a real possibility now. |

Oh, and I like Gonzo too! He could have a real shot at this, too. Heck, all the guys left could take it. And seeing Andy Murray lose is always a special treat! |

A Soderling victory over Fed would be sweet. Rafa win by proxy! I too am happy about Sam Stosur. A point for the old schoolers! Unfortunately, I think Serena or Sveta will kill her. |

I think Sveta/Serena is going three and Serena's going to win. Sveta had her chance to serve out the match, and Serena is just so tough. The Clash on Chartrier is next. Do it for us, Gael! |

Agreed about Serena. Sveta had her chances. But she better clean up her game if she wants to win this. Slow start from both guys it looks like. I hope Gael puts up a good fight for Fed. |

That Serena is tough as nails. Match point down and she wins the game. Come on, Gael!!!! |

Wow! No choking for Sveta! Allez Gael! I'm glad he's holding his own. |

I know! Sveta held up. Good for her. Gael is hanging in. If someone doesn't beat Fed, I may cry in much the same way he did on that stage in Melbourne. As much as I miss my Rafa, I kinda like that things are wide open and just about anyone could take this tourney. |

And just as I say that, Roger takes the first set. Hang in there, Gael. |

D'oh! This sounds like a phenomenal match though. Monfils needs to start attacking. It's really difficult against Fed but that's how you beat him. |

These guys (I'm looking at you, Tommy Haas!) just need to forget it's Federer on the other side of the net and just play their games and go after him. Easier said than done, I know. Uh oh...Roger's broken Gael. Yech. |

I hope Gael just starts playing like he's got nothing to lose. That's when the best things happen. |

Total bummer. If he gets down 2 sets then he should just let it rip. Be a showman because THAT will frustrate Fed. And go out with some flavor and flare. |

And there goes Set #2...sigh. I'm kind of glad I'm not watching this. I can just imagine all the love they're raining down on Fed. |

Uh oh! Looks like Monfils is unwell--stomach pain. Maybe it was the McDonald's he ate after beating Roddick (the FO Radio guy saw him there after the match). |

LOL...McDonald's is the meal of champions! Man, I hope he feels better and can hang in there. I guess I'm just going have to wrap my brain around the inevitable and accept it. |
