| I can`t believe what happened with Nole today.   He didn`t have that spark we usually see from him and was obviously a step slower than Philipp Kohlschreiber, who came out playing very aggressively. I was really hoping that Nole could start a comeback in the third set, but sadly it wasn`t the case. I don`t know what else to say other than this is a big blow for Nole in terms of his confidence and ranking. Now he`ll have an uphill battle on the grass courts, which he hasn`t done well on.
On a much better note, Andy Roddick finally broke through the third round barrier with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Marc Gicquel. Good win for Andy.  He played another nice solid match today. I`m very proud of him for finally reaching the second week at Roland Garros.
The French Connection`s hopes are still alive as Jo-Wilfried and Gael won their matches against Christophe Rochus and Jurgen Melzer respectively. Good wins for them. I`m especially pleased with Jo-Wilfried`s performance, which was a nice improvement from his previous matches.
Tommy Haas also advanced to the round of 16 with a 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over Jeremy Chardy. It`s nice to see Tommy in the round of 16 at RG, especially with all the tough luck he has had with injuries in the last 2-3 years.
Juan Del Potro and Tommy Roberdo also won their matches.
Fed is currently playing Paul-Henri Mathieu. Normally i would tell you the score, but i don`t want to ruin it for those in the Fed Nation that will get to see the match on NBC. |
