Berdych out already, losing to French qualifier and world no.140 Stephane Robert 6-3 6-3 2-6 2-6 7-9...

Djokovic played great against De Bakker, but De Bakker was producing way too many errors.

Berdych match was crazy! He was just cruising along and then out if nowhere Robert just starts playing better! Really didnt see robert winning the 5th set but it must feel good for the 31 yr old veteran to get a huge win in front of his home crowd.

Also I love watching bjorn phau play! Really wish he would take out monfils but he is still putting up a good fight! Nothing better than a 5'9 scrapper!!!

New dutch sensation arising, Thomas Schoorel. Watch out for him.

The losses of berdych/cilic don't matter. The winner of the Mousquetaire's cup this year will be MARCEL GRANOLLERS!

A lot of points falling off for Berdych with that loss.

Nice win for Gasquet over a fast declining Stepanek and good to see Del Potro come through a potentially tricky encounter with Karlovic.

Anyone watch Federer I missed it.

Just saw the 3rd set of the Federer - Lopez (as a sports fan, don't actually watch Tennis that much but its the French Open.. :D)

That was a very good set with a weird "out caller" almost like some dinosaur shriek

Federer played very good stop balls and had good rallys, but with the score you could think after the first two sets, he played a bit easier in the 3rd one

I think Federer would be able to get into the Semi-Finals, if there wouldn't be Djokovic

It was a very nice match! I see the second set and there were a very good level, a lot of winners, Fed's backhand and movements seemed far better than before this year on clay!

i cant believe the sold everything today, i am so mad. i went there at 7am to be first online, i ask a guy where i have to go to buy ticfkets and tells me "porte s" i go there, along many other people, because online the tickets where sold out a month ago and a guy from this forum told me in previous years you could buy tickets for the first days if you come early. i was really hoping to get at least a ticket for the phillipe chatrier today but it turns out the stupid organizers are feeding the black market by not selling anymore tickets on stadium. anyway, i found talking to the beautiful girls at the entrance that there is another site for reseling tickets oficially, viagogo.com i went there and i could get suzanne lenglen tickets for tomorrow my last day in paris, i haved them printed and i am ready to watch some horrible mutant action. and the beatiful ana and that soderling guy that does so well here.



on the way back from the stadium i crossed paths with stan wawrinka but i was so mad about the tickets issue that i didn't even care to get a picture with him. besides i don't think he would have said yes.

Haase picked up an injury in Nice last week. I would be surprised if he could make a run. He says he is fit though.

Yeah, if he's fit he could make a run. Gimeno-Traver, Fish, Simon.. if he's on fire, why not? Söderling in 4th will be a different story.

Great win by Schoorel over Gonzalez, hope he can do well against Wawrinka.
