Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by FOD(m): 9:56pm On May 22, 2010 |
The French Open starts Sunday 23 May, 2010. Nadal, who lost the title last year, looks set to reclaim his what seems to be his birthright after breezing past almost everyone since the start of this clay season. Defending champ, Federer despite losing to Nadal at the Madrid masters, somehow believes he's ready to defend his title. Among the other contenders are Djokovic, Ferrer, Murray, Soderling, Verdasco. Among the ladies, I'm not sure if there is a clear favourite to win this. So, who takes the title? |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 7:12am On May 23, 2010 |
Fed express all the way. Nadal has found his clay court form back; winning the 3 clay court masters(Rome, Madrid and the other one) but in the grand slams, Federer always turns on the style. I'm expecting a Federer-Nadal final with Federer clinching it again. Watch out for the Swede, Robert Soderling, could spring up a few surprises. Djokovic is another man you cant rule out. I dont see British hype, Andy Murray going very far in this one. |

Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by harmeenut: 6:39pm On May 24, 2010 |
one down already. having won on all surfaces, Baba Twins na the best among all. But nadal had shown he is better than Federer on Clay; I just wish Federer can defeat him and put the argument to rest. Fed is my favourite but I respect Nadal so much, he's one player I hate to like, He's improving and catching up with Fed on all grounds. Even when Federer won last year, it's believed because Nadal was knocked out at the fourth round. But this year Federer must make me proud by beating Nadal in the final. Go Fed |

World number 1, Roger Federer was at his best yesterday as he saw off Peter Luczak in straight sets: 6-4, 6-1, 6-2. Andy Murray had to come from two sets down to beat Frenchman, Richard Gasquet: 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1. World number 2, Rafael Nadal will be in action today. |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 11:22am On May 26, 2010 |
World number 2 Rafael Nadal continued his brilliant form as he beat Frenchman, Gianni Mina in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. There was an upset yesterday as womens number 9, Dinara Safina was beaten by Kimiko Date-Krumo, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5. There were victories for American dream, Andy Roddick as he beat Finish, Jarkko Nimminen, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-3 and Justin Henin who beat Tsvetana Pironkova, 6-4, 6-3. |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by airegin: 2:14am On May 27, 2010 |
why are you guys counting Tsonga and Marin Cilic out. I think those are going to give Nadal, Murray, Federer, Soderling a run for their money |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 8:01am On May 27, 2010 |
^^^Yes i agree wit u. Marin Cilic can give any of the top seeds a run for their money. Tsonga too, but he always fumbles when in matters most. Its funny you are considering Murray as one the big shots. That guy is nothing but a hype. I'll try to get the first round results of Cilic and Jo Tsonga. I know they progressed |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by triistar86: 4:06pm On May 27, 2010 |
medjai: As usual the British press are doing their job very well. . . . I would Just like to see my all time favorite (Federer aka Baba Ibeji) outclass his nemesis (Nadal) for once on this clay court. |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 7:47am On May 28, 2010 |
Federer beat Alejandro Fala in the 2nd round:7-6 6-2 6-4. There were wins for Soderling, Tsonga and Cilic as well. Andy Murray and Andy Roddick are also through to the third round. Federer will meet Julian Reister in the third round |

so what happened between Monfils and Foggini yesterday after winning 2 straight sets, the italian still came back to flog him and whats with the cancellation and the way the games are been suspended The Monfils and Fogginni game was delayed for alost 24hrs after the game was tied at 5-5. Thats not goo for tennis same thing happened between Murray and Chela. lets see if Murray survives Baghdatis today using this opportunity to holla at my boi - Nadal Go go Nadal |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 8:43am On May 28, 2010 |
Murray's game was suspended twice. The first was due to fading lights. The other was for rain but he still won though. So Gael Monfils is out. Lost to an unseeded Foggini. |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by tkb417(m): 9:24am On May 28, 2010 |
medjai:13th seed vs 93rd seed na wa . Foggini will face wawrinka today my money is on wawrinka tho. I hope Fogginni wont pull no stupid stunts today he should go home |

Federer and Reister is on the way Henin is through to the next round |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by tkb417(m): 1:36pm On May 28, 2010 |

Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 8:03pm On May 28, 2010 |
Robert Soderling beat Albert Montanes 6-4 7-5 2-6 6-3 to face a likely 4th round clash with Marin Cilic if he wins his tie. Andy Murray eased past Marcos Baghdatis 6-2 6-3 0-6 6-2 and will face Thomas Berdych in the 4th round. |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by Nobody: 8:05pm On May 28, 2010 |
medjai: How do you "ease" past someone who bagelled you in set 3? |
Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by medjai(m): 8:15pm On May 28, 2010 |

Re: Tennis: Roland Garros 2010 by dayokanu(m): 8:25pm On May 28, 2010 |
