Tennis thread
OK, so as not to bore the non tennis fans, I'll start a specific thread. So who do you think will win the French Open - I'm going for Federer/ Mauresmo, although more in hope than belief, as far as Amelie is concerned. Also, on a side note - do you think Amelie is attractive? I must admit I don't usually go for the butch type, but I dunno, I definitely find her somewhat alluring: I suspect it's got something to do with her butch physique being belied by her gentle nature...and the fact that I suspect she'd be a more than capable shag (sorry to be crude).

I would love to talk tennis. However I don't have a television, and haven't for the previous eight months, so I'm a little behind the times.
So, let's see. I think Sue Barker and Illie Nastase will both win it again this year. Yes. That's right. |

I think Federer just might will although I hope Agassi does. I don't like those young guns.
Frankly Amelie scares me a bit. She is SUCH a guy. Broad shoulders and all, powerful. Only Serena Williams can at least compete with her in sheer power. |

It was such a shame Martina retired. And so many years before her time as well. Lady's tennis lost a lot of grace with her retirement... it signaled the start of the power-houses era. Although Justine is still from the old school.

I liked the time of Navratilova and Steffie Graff... I spoke about Navratilova 'cause of course she retired ...but she will play this year ...she is 47 years old and she comes back just for this Roland Garros. I don't think she will stay during a lot of turns but...it will be a "heart great pleasure" for me to see her again....Yep ...I mean she wasn't beautiful nor a top model.....but she had a kind of "elegance" (you found the right word, Freddie )which came from her...from her behaviour.... She had a veryy strong personnality.... |

Here's the offical site if you didn't already know: www.rolandgarros.com
It's fun to read the post-match interviews, especially from the losers. |

I think Roger's in quite a tough quarter of the draw - he'll probably play Kiefer in Rd 2, maybe Kuerten in Rd 3 and I think Safin's also in his quarter. Amelie should have a clear run through to the semis, where she'll meet either Capriati or Serena Williams (one would imagine) - I can't see either Dementieva or Davenport tripping her up, unless the nerves really get the better of her . I think it should be a good Roland Garros though - it's very open this year. I wish Monica were playing though... she's been out for so long now, I'm starting to wonder if she'll ever return.

Agassi lost 1st round. I just hope he can finish his career in a blaze of glory.

A better coverage on the Eurosport News site.
Real Time Scoreboard - The Official Roland Garros website. Gisela Dulko (Argentina) v Martina Navratilova (U.S.) - 6:1, 6:3. Martina is out in her first round. Pity but not unexpected. |

Ferrerro did well to beat Haas in 4 sets today - that was a tough opener for him. Capriati was lucky to get through - I still think she'll be a threat later in the tournament though. Didn't see Federer's match, but it looks like he won it easily. Too bad about Navratilova, but clay was never her best surface; it'll be interesting to see how she does on grass next month. It's shaping up to be a good French Open.

Henin didn't come to the tournament in a good form so her lost wasn't a big shock. Even if you are #1, the competition is so tough that you got to be in a good form to score anything there.
So what do we have? Men's singles (round 2) Juan Monaco ARG - Guillermo Coria ARG Fabrice Santoro FRA - Irakli Labadze GEO Carlos Moya ESP - Fernando Vicente ESP Olivier Mutis FRA - Andy Roddick USA Jerome Haehnel FRA - Michael Llodra FRA Lars Burgsmuller GER - Tim Henman GBR Vladimir Voltchkov BLR - Nicolas Massu CHI Florian Mayer GER - Nicolas Escude FRA Fernando Verdasco ESP - Juan Ignacio Chela ARG Luis Horna PER - Galo Blanco ESP Mikhail Youzhny RUS - Andrei Pavel ROM Mariano Zabaleta ARG - Mario Ancic CRO Julien Jeanpierre FRA - Vincent Spadea USA Paradorn Srichaphan THA - Alex Corretja ESP Raemon Sluiter NED - Dominik Hrbaty SVK Tommy Robredo ESP - Guillermo Garcia-Lopez ESP Women's singles (round 2) Amelie Mauresmo FRA - Anabel Medina Garrigues ESP Justine Henin-Hardenne BEL - Tathiana Garbin ITA Jie Zheng CHN - Emilie Loit FRA Vera Zvonareva RUS - Magui Serna ESP Meghann Shaughnessy USA - Silvia Farina Elia ITA Yuliana Fedak UKR - Nadia Petrova RUS Elena Dementieva RUS - Nicole Pratt AUS Maria Sanchez Lorenzo ESP - Lindsay Davenport USA Vera Douchevina RUS - Paola Suarez ARG Marlene Weingartner GER - Maria Elena Camerin ITA Tatiana Perebiynis UKR - Ashley Harkleroad USA Dinara Safina RUS - Marissa Irvin USA Arantxa Parra Santonja ESP - Lisa Raymond USA (28) Rita Grande ITA - Maria Sharapova RUS Magdalena Maleeva BUL - Marta Marrero ESP Klara Koukalova CZE - Anna Smashnova-Pistolesi ISR |
