Roland Garros 2011

[Resolute 14]

Speaking of, Gasquet just saved three match points against Djokovic. Admirable effort, but akin to a man in the ocean fighting not to drown for one minute longer...

Djokovic finally won, on the fifth attempt. His streak is up to 43.

[GirlySports]

Monfils up 5-3 40-15 in the 5th against Ferrer just choked it away. back on serve now. This one could go for awhile.

EDIT: Monfils finally broke Ferrer down and won 8-6.

Yup, the 2 women's quarterfinals are compete with Na Li and Maria Sharapova winning.

Semis tomorrow are

(11) Marion Bartoli (FRA) vs (5) Francesca Schiavone (ITA)

For the men there's the Federer-Djokovic semifinal tomorrow, if Djokovic wins, he's #1. Right now Nadal is up a set on Soderling and Murray is even in the 1st set against Chela.

Great to see Sharapova regaining her form. She's looked great so far. Good job Sasha

[GirlySports]

Nadal and Murray have won so as expected, the top 4 men advance.


(1)Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs (4)Andy Murray
(3)Roger Federer (SUI) vs (2)Novak Djokovic (SRB)

Man, is the WTA a joke... I remember 3-4 years ago when the Williams sisters, Henin were playing, Jankovic, Ivanovic and Sharapova were in form, some great definately... Now, it hit rock bottom. I mean the #1 seed crashes out in the 3rd round, and not just this tournament. It's like that ranking means jack squat. It used to be that when a player holds #1 ranking that they are the best player, now it means nothing. I mean, has Wozniacki won a slam? Jankovic 2 years ago held #1, and at that time not only has she not won a Slam, she wasn't even in the finals.

On the ATP, you know Djokovic, Nadal and Federer are the best players, they are always making semis/finals....

Congrats to Li Na! Good match, but she definitely had that extra step against Sharapova.

[GirlySports]

Nadal crushing Murray in the 1st semifinal.

Murray had a couple of break points early in the 2nd set that might have made the match more competitive but once Nadal swatted those away, it's was over.

[oilyfan]

Nadal is looking good. He has a great chance of winning it all.

[Mango]

Roger looks great so far!

[GirlySports]

Not so fast Mr. Djokovic.

Federer takes the 1st set 7-6. We're in for a classic.

[GirlySports]

Roger can't miss a shot!

What's the score now?
I'm at work and would love updates

Federer up 2 sets to 0. Djokovic has an early break in the third set though.

[GirlySports]

Djokovic now serving at 5-6 in the 4th to force a tiebreaker.
It's getting dark, if there's a 5th set, it'll have to continue tomorrow.

[GirlySports]

It's over!

Federer def. Djokovic 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6. The 41 match winning streak is snapped!

Nadal can retain #1 if he wins on Sunday, a Nadal loss and Djokovic is #1.

[Regorium]

Oh my god. What a ridiculous match.

[SuperMatt18]

Hopefully Federer can win against Nadal on Sunday.

He has played a great tournament and deserves a title with the way everybody wrote him off and called him finished.
