Yeah I remember seeing that guy run a few times - I was always amazed at his balance on those things. It looked like he was going to topple every time he hit the bend.

Re: Predictions (9 replies, posted in French Open)
Yep...I'm pretty much gone with mine as well.
I'm a massive Federer fan (who isn't), but I'm also hoping one of the other guys makes a good run at it. Maybe one of the French guys in the final against Federer so the crowd gets rowdy.
Tsonga vs Federer...now that'd be a great final, except they're due to meet in the semi's if they both make it that far.
Top half of the draw...just toss a dart and hope it sticks. Fernando Gonzalez, Andy Murray, Davydenko...or Soderling?
I'm going to say Gonzalez vs Federer in the final

Re: Rafa goes down!!!!!!!!! (6 replies, posted in French Open)
You've got to think that all the other men are a little bit more excited now - guys like Del Potro, Tsonga, Monfils even Roddick. They'll all be thinking they're in with a shot now - going to be an exciting week

I had to throw this in here...
A Romanian player has decided to she needs to get a breast reduction to improve her court mobility.
So my (not very serious) question is -
Should she be allowed to do this or is it considered performance enhancing surgery, akin to something like blood or gene doping.
Read all her about her troubles here

She may find she loses a few fans anyway...

Re: What about the winner of the women's (2 replies, posted in French Open)
I think Safina, but I'm also kind of hoping someone like Wozniacki does well - would make a nice change from the Russians and the Tennis Republic of Williams.

Topic: Who's Your Outsider For The Fantasy Tennis Comp (2 replies, posted in French Open)
Was kind of curious about which players people selected as their non seeded player to make it thru to the quarters
For the men I had Ernests Gulbis from that baltic tennis superpower, Latvia
For the women I had Daniela Hantuchova
Always thought Gulbis had potential but hasn't kicked on yet like some other players of the same age.

Re: Is this anyone's favourite/least liked Grand Slam? (9 replies, posted in French Open)
In all their wisdom Aussie free-to-air broadcasters have refused to show the French Open so it is my least favourite at the moment - not for the tennis, but for the fact that I have to go to way more effort just to see a match.

Ask Tennis Australia - apparently they've got a plan. Look out for the new crop to be coming thru...in about 2013.
