    French Open Tennis clay court 'Grand Slam' is underway

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080526/ap_on_sp_te_ga_su/ten_french_open
    Roger Federer made a winning return to the French Open, the only Grand Slam title he has never won. The top-ranked Federer beat Sam Querrey of the United States 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 Monday in the first round at Roland Garros, where the 12-time major champion is trying to become only the sixth man to complete a career Grand Slam.

    Can Nadal win again this year?

    I think he'd be looking towards another win to make it 4 successive wins. Vaidisova was pathetic yesterday with 2-0 defeat to Benesova

    Rain delay again today. I hope tomorrow it'll be fine (according to weather forecast).
    Djokovic has a good chance and ranks 3rd but Nadal is virtually unbeatable on clay

    Roger Federer beat Mario Ancic 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 Saturday to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros for the sixth time. It’s the only Grand Slam tournament he has yet to win.

    Sharapova out!
    Safin was just outstanding, she was 5-2 down in the second set, fought back to 7-6 and then beating Maria 2-6 in the third set

    Is he the Greatest tennis player?

    New Greater players might come very soon, Nadal is far too young to have an experience like Federer, but he have talent for sure ;)

    The only one thing I don't like is the weather in the France these days, such raind delays ... :rolleyes:

    It is :)

    And today is Ladies Final Day

    Dinara Safina is looking to claim a French Open title like her brother as she faces Ana Ivanovic in the women's final.

    Promises to be a great match later today :cool:
