ROLAND GARROS 2015

Serena to serve for the match.

lol sorry for the set.

Errani beats Goerges 6-2 6-2 :DDDD

That was the most impressed I've ever been with Sloane and especially her BH. She made the stretch between Serena waking up and Serena breaking in the third more interesting than I expected but...the match basically followed the Serena MO. 10-0 in three-setters this year.

Has Nadal been hustling us all clay court season? I'm sure these aren't 2008-vintage performances he's turning in, but the results are close to that (ok, Sock isn't done yet).

Sock now done.

How can someone called Sock exist btw? #wonderofitall

i like van Uytvanck's game more the more i watch her. so many drop shots

re: Sock. This is a post-Roddick thing, right? Men's tennis 2-3 years from now is depressing me right now.

Ooh, Sock broke back.

Twice :-(

Sock will always be able to cause damage with his FH but I'd be surprised if he even had Roddick's career

*clicks over to make sure someone is actually on the other side of the net against Novak*

*clicks back to Sock-Rafa*

Two s-p!

bizarro Rafa collapse at the end of that set

Have I jinxed Rafa?

Sock drags this on!

Nadal got that break (courtesy of a couple of DFs from Sock) and then saved his own serve with an ace on 30-40.

Nadal wins; Djoko about to, and I won't be able to watch #ohmylyfe

Petra on now..

Your predictable men's QFs and H2Hs.

(1) Novak Djokovic vs. (6) Rafael Nadal
(3) Andy Murray vs. (7) David Ferrer
(9) Kei Nishikori vs. (14) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
(8) Stan Wawrinka vs. (2) Roger Federer

Nadal 23-20 Djokovic (14-5 on clay)
Murray 9-6 Ferrer (Ferrer leads 4-0 on clay)
Nishikori 4-1 Tsonga
Federer 16-2 Wawrinka (4-2 on clay, 1-0 this year)

mad match if anyone is watching. the usual tiresome things that go on in Kvitova's game in full show.

If anyone is wondering why Kvitova was disputing that line call when she was 5-0 down and SP its because she needs to get going for the final set.

Just thought I'd clear that piece of psychology up for any novice to the game that happens to be reading.

Petra scream <3

& then gets broken (n)

the end is near..

there there.

lol @ commentary calling this a 'shock'

Switzerland just keep trolling France or what.

Anyway, we're done for today.

LOL @ Petra. A bagel, of course. Happy for Timea! Wonderful story and an awesome person, it seems like.

Your obvious women's QFs.

(1) Serena Williams vs. (17) Sara Errani
(23) Timea Bacsinszky vs. Alison Van Uytvanck
(7) Ana Ivanovic vs. (19) Elina Svitolina
(21) Garbine Muguruza vs. (13) Lucie Safarova

Williams 8-0 Errani (5-0 on clay)
Bacsinszky 0-0 Van Uytvanck
Ivanovic 6-0 Svitolina (2-0 on clay)
Muguruza 0-0 Safarova

even with her recent total trashbag play, this is basically Serena's to lose right? I don't think Errani or Ivanovic can take her and I'm not familiar enough with the others to know how likely it is that they'll be able to capitalize on Serena's inability to play the first set well

Serena's Fed Cup match vs Errani a few weeks ago was a MESS, it'll be interesting to see whether that repeats or whether Serena ups her game to Errani-squashing level.

Muguruza beat her here last year and if she was her QF opponent I'd be giving her a big chance given Serena's form, but in a Slam final...I can't see it.

I'm wondering whether Ivanovic's open draw will make her gag at some point. She's very lucky she faces her pigeon next.

The White Mug and Safarova are absolutely BELTING the ball at each other

Serena and Djoko could win calendar year slams. Don't want it to happen but its a great chance for both of them.

Such a high level of tennis in this match. Those screaming BH DTL winners by Lucie in this TB!

Ivanovic a game away now.

Safarova one game away now.

Great shot to end there!

That was an absolutely brilliant performance by Safarova. Muguruza was fantastic as well, never gave up, and it would only have taken a shot here or there to tilt the balance of the match, but Safarova just came up with the answers every time. Thoroughly enjoyable match.

Also, no question in my mind that Safarova is the favourite in the SF.

- H2H favours her - she leads 6-3, including 5 of the last 6
- Match-up favours her - just imagine the Lucie lefty FH into the Ana BH all day long
- She's actually had to play lights-out spectacular tennis to get to the SF, including against big hitters who had dominated her in the past in Pavlyuchenkova and Sharapova. Ivanovic BSed her way past mentally weak Shvedova, tiny Doi, clay-hating Vekic, clay-averse Makarova and her pigeon Svitolina

I'll be on Chatrier for it, looking forward to it!

Also, Safarova acquitted herself very well in her maiden Slam SF at Wimbledon, so it's hard to think she'll be the one to choke, if anyone does

Fed in deuce in the 1st game against Stan.

Fed sat down after holding.

Initially thought the Tsonga/Nishikori scoreline was down to Tsonga picking up where he left off but Nishikori is really having a nightmare out there. So wild.

:-(

Stan has played outrageous tennis to break Fed to 40!

Gorgeous blocked backhand winner.

Last rally had some great defense before hitting a winner on the line.

Fed/Stan is brilliant so far. Might have to start ignoring the other match.

Nishikori somehow getting WORSE. Cannot look away from this car crash.

Wawrinka return brings a serve-and-volleying Federer to his knees

I cautiously suspected Tsonga could surprise kei but nothing like this, only judging by scoreline tho, can't view :(
