Narcoleptic Jumper 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2007 So most of the coverage of this is on the Tennis Channel which most people probably don't get, but if you have DirecTV, it's on there and it's awesome. 5 different channels for the different courts. I don't know how I got along watching tennis without this, because it rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted May 29, 2007 For those of us that only casually follow tennis, does Roland Garros = French Open? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narcoleptic Jumper 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2007 yeah, that's right. I should have specified. Roland Garros is the "official" name for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted May 29, 2007 Original poster, there's no point in creating tennis threads here. You'll just get "replies" like the 2nd post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted May 29, 2007 I just saw that Andy Roddick got upset in the first round. Good job Andy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pochorenella 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Federer vs. Davydenko in the first semifinal. Djokovic is waiting for his opponent, who apparently will be Nadal, as he's handling Carlos Moya right now. 2006 final repeat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 I would say most likely, as both Federer and Nadal are playing pretty well right now. I will say this though, it is great to see such big matchups in the semi's on the mens side. Arguably the four best players on the tour as of this moment.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2007 Hey look, it's Federer vs. Nadal. Again. I really want Federer to win this one. It's not every day you get to see someone make history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2007 I also will be rooting for Roger, but he will be the underdog, Nadal is looking good right now. My challenge will be avoiding the result. I got Indians-Reds tickets (which I got hooked into going to) then gotta take Moms out for her b-day, Sopranos finale and then the Cavs-Spurs. I just hope I can avoid the result until midnight tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 Well, Nadal is the champ again in Roland Garros, and I must say this was a great match. I can't believe all the break points that Roger failed to capitalize on. If he'd won half of the break points he had then the story would've been different. And his forehand was really not his strongest yesterday, too many unforced errors. That high-kicking forehand of Nadal's wasn't that much of a factor this time out, as Federer had it well handled with his backhand. Anyways, good for Rafa who's still king of the clay courts, but I'm pretty sure Federer's day in France will come soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2007 I really wanted Federer to win this but I knew that if he couldn't capitalize on those break points and take the 1st set, it would be over for him. To be honest, I thought Nadal would win but I was still hoping for the opposite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
