French Open 2009 - Results, Discussion

[FD88]

The crowd would be 50/50. Even though they love Monfils, the French are retarded and as they adore Fed (yawn, as everyone does) they'll probably end up going for him.

They know quality when they see it.

[NFC]

So do I, Cirstea.

[Thiele]

Stosur through to the 1/4 Final

[Dirko]

Yeah way to go Fed...now go and kick Monfils arse

i honestly cant see Stosur losing this open. its hers for the taking if she is going to win one. an under done sharapova still in, serena williams, but on her side there has been some really big upsets.
and if she were to make the final her likely opponent would be dinara safina, who is down 1 set at the moment but up the break in the second against a girl that is not going to cause too much trouble for stosur. even though its azarenka (9th seed), a couple long matches in a row could prove vital to stosur's chance.

could we sammy go the whole way??

I think so

I'd stop smoking whatever you're on if I were you ...

[CoverKing]

lets wait and see, if she wins it, il tell ya just so everyone can get on board! its good stuff
safina was actually up a double break, azarenka broken both back andnow serving to go 5 - 4 up in the 5th..

Safina most overrated womens player? number 1, smashed in the aus open final. never won a GS.

[CoverKing]

safina breaks back, 5 4 in the second and she is serving for it

[Pidge]

Cibulkova looking likely to take the first set 6-0 against Maria Sharapova

[RustyCage]

D.Cibulkova SVK (20) 6 3
M.Sharapova RUS 0 0

Cib has two breaks this set!

[dedja]

make that 6-0 5-0 serving for the match

[CoverKing]

clearly underdone sharapova saved 4 match points and lost the match 6-0 6-2.

after playing all previous matches over 3 sets and coming back from that long lay off with her shoulder, it was a pretty successful open for her.

gonzalez v murray

6-3 3-6 4-0 and gonzalez serving

Big call.

Should be a good nights tennis tonight with Stosur playing NFC's girl and Federer also in action.

[Thiele]

Good Luck to Stousur tonight

[FD88]

Yeah carn Stosur!! She's on fire right now - leads Cirstea 3-0 in the first set.

[dedja]

Keep it up girl.

Jeez, the way she's bulked up, if she gave Roo a hip'n'shoulder I think he might come off second best!

[FD88]

She has broken Cirstea again to go 5-1 up. Now serving for the first set.

[FD88]

First set to Stosur 6-1!!!!!!

[Thiele]

Keep on Going Sam
