Cinq
Rafael Nadal d. Robin Soderling - 64 62 64
Just in case you didn't know.
...Butttt I'm pretty sure you did. You know.
It was meant to happen. Sooner or later.If it didn't; the balance of the tennis world would just be destroyed.
Absolutely destroyed.
Oh, and Rafa retakes the No.1 Ranking once again. From Roger.
*Coughs-:)-Coughs*HIGH FIVEEEEEE!! ;)
PLUS: Don't you ever feel just slightly awkward whenever you see a guy eat a banana?
Psht. Scrap that. WE LOVE YOU RAFA!!
Zut!
Francesca Schiavone d. Samantha Stosur - 64 76(2)
This makes me sad. Like, genuinely sad.
Wanna know why?
...Because I'm Australian. And finding out that Sam Stosur - our "shining beacon of light" and hope for Australia - got defeated in 2 tight, close sets makes me really want to punch Roland Garros in the face.
I've really got nothing else to say.
Just. Poo.
But congratulations are in order to you too, Fran. Kiss it, hug it, cradle it, fist-pump about it all you want. I just hope that next year is Sam's year.

Bring it.
Um. Yay!
I mean... being a fellow Oz myself... I think I'll be rooting for the other contender?
But hey; congratulations to Fran too for getting into her first slam final! :)
AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE!
OI OI OI!
Good Luck Sammy! Here's to wishing you all the best on the clay xx

Roland Garros Wrap-up
Bonjour mes amis!
J'adore Andy Murray :) You know.. just putting it out there.
Ahh... it feels good to be back. Especially WITHOUT exams ;)
So thank goodness that's over. But one extreme downside is missing out on a huuuuuuuuge chunk of what seems to have been an awesome Roland Garros D:
And just when I was getting so hyped up about it? DAMN.
But anywho; here's some of the highlights (and the lowlights) from Roland Garros 2010 -

Maybe I should be paying more attention...
Hmm. Yes.
While other tennis blogs and tour sites around the world may be focused on other events this week (like, ahem, the Madrid Masters for example?)...
...I will be on temporary lockdown and instead I will spend my days and nights just staring at this website for the next 11 or so days.
In other words, HECK YEAH! I'M EXCITED.
ROLAND GARROS ALL THE WAY.
Except I don't like the bit where they predict that the 2 Andys will suck this year. Well... they didn't exactly say that, but I'm sure that's what they meant.
But other than that, HECK YEAH!
ROLAND GARROS ALL THE WAY.
