Roger who? JK, I'm a tennis fan. ;D You so funny. The next three months are heavenly for tennis. Roland Garros, Wimbledon and then the US Open!! I'm such a geek. I can't wait for the broadcasters to show Mirka and call her Roger's wife for the first time instead of his longtime partner and manager. ;D |

Nadal is wearing a hot pink shirt at Roland Garros this year. It's a shame that the shirt has sleeves, though. I was hoping for sleeveless. LOL!!

No sleeveless shirts, rain already, and endless repeats of Jankovic are driving me bananas  WTH happened to all our great American tennis players? They're practically nonexistent anymore.  |

Hey Nancy I'm a HUGE tennis fan! Have been since the early 90's. I was obssessed with GRaf, Seles, Agassi and Sampras. Seles is my all time favorite. I've been to tons of tournaments and seen some of the greats! Never been to the French though. Not watching it since I'm in Alabama visting my bud, but I usually do. Nadal looks hot in just about anything, long or short.  I'll check in for your updates! |

It's the second largest tourney outside the Grand Slams and the last tourney before the US Open...usually. And I've been to the Nasdaq/Lipton in Key Biscayne countless times. That is the largest tourney outside the four grand slams and my absolute favorite tourney to attend. The players are so accessible and a $15 day pass gets you into every match with the exception of the stadium court. For earlier round matches...it's perfect!! My dream is to attend Wimbledon. Don't worry about missing the French. We'll post the key updates here.  |

I missed Rafa. I'll have to catch him on the rerun. Saw Safin. Rafa was a breeze. A beautiful breeze. ;D Safin...what a match!! I wish he could get out of his own head and just enjoy playing. He always seems so cranky out there. I'm bummed he's out. Hope he'll play Wimbledon and the US Open so we get to watch him play again before he retires. Ouanna has quite a game. He, Monfeils and Tsonga make an amazing trio of French players to watch.  Six and a half hours of Grand Slam Tennis and a UEFA Final today. Oh, and a little bit of work mixed in for good measure. ;D #thhula# |

Safin's always been cranky. At least he doesn't break rackets anymore. Yea, he should be retiring soon.

He was never one of my favs but he could be brilliant at times.

Think I might have a little crush on Jo Wilfred Tsonga. J'adore!! #heart_smiley# What a great match win he just had over Juan Monaco. That was fun!! He had a classic with James Blake at the Aussie Open either last year or the year before, too. I think when he won that one he made it to the finals but then lost to Djokovic. And, Roddick won too!! |

I know!! I'm in shock!! Rafa...lose the sleeves!!! Now I'm going to cheer for a Federer/Tsonga final. I hope they're not both in the same half of the draw. Will have to check on that. Nola lost today too.  |

All great champions are faced with this at least once in their careers. To cheer myself up, I just registered on tennischannel.com for a VIP Trip to Paris next year. It includes airfare for two, accomodations at a swanky hotel, VIP tickets to the Open and a swanky Longines watch. You never know...right? |
