No self respecting strait man would allow himself to be owned day after day on an internet message board, and takes pride in telling the world that he sits and watches tv all day. And isn't in to girls..

come on. don't be mean.
look at it this way ........
Hewitt just tied it up 2 sets all! :D
 
Check this out:

In the Cilic - Hernych match so far, Cilic is 6 for 27 on break points won. :shock:
 
Verdasco wraps up the second set. 2 set up, this should be easy for Nando. Great performance form him so far. Vamos!!!!

Gael Monfils holds a press conference to announce that he is... NOT pulling out of the tournament. "I'm not ready to pull out. My knee is hurting, but I wanted to share this decision with you," he said. "When I play, it doesn't hurt that much. I can control my pain.

"I'll finish my match, even if I break a leg."
 
Almagro will get blown off the court by Verdasco.

It could be almost as bad as last year's nadal/almagro match. Almagro is not ready to deal with the new verdasco.

To be fair last year Almagro got shoulder surgery a bit after that match with Nadal, indicating he wasn't 100% possibly. Also, Almagro playing well can trouble anyone - especially on clay. I very much doubt he'll get hammered like he did against Nadal but we'll wait for the third round I suppose..

No doubt that he's telling the truth there, probably almost broken a leg a few times in matches with how he plays sometimes.
 
People forged that Verdasco was beat in a same fashion as Almagro last year by Nadal. Both managed to win 3 games each.

This being said Verdacso will win potential match here easily.

Interesting to know. thanks.
 
Gaudio's strokes are so fluid on both sides, a pleasure to watch. I don't think he can go very far in this tournament though. He doesn't seem fit enough.

Nadal freak, what happened to the French conspiracy to give Nadal a hard draw in order to favor Roger? Did they forget this year?:confused:
 
Stepanek! HA! Hes not even going past the first round! Hes playing Gaudio..
He just did, don' t count the worm out. (ok i was just leg pulling there)


I think the picture shows the winner of RG 2009, no?

yes they don't want the pic to be outdated after this year's FO

haha. totally agree with you! I think the people of France want Pete's rec to be broken right here, and not at Wimbly or Flushing.
 
although Fed beat Nadal the last time out on clay, i'd still go with Nadal to win this one, he's no King of Clay for nothing..........

If we're judging by last meetings on clay, Djokovic would beat Federer in the semis and he would play Nadal in the final. I think he would be a tougher opponent for Nadal.
 
Davydenko through in straights, 6-2 6-1 6-4

interestingly Wawrinka just dropped the second set of his match with Devilder, wouldn't expect an upset or anything but I had thought he'd win in straights
