Sun, Atlast !

Thankfully, there was some much needed sunshine at Roland Garros and normalcy resumed after couple of awfully gloomy days with 12 matches overnight which were to be finished. Most of favourites are marching along rather handsomely and the main contenders are showing that all of them are on fire and will be vying to run deep into 2nd week.

Roggie and Nadal yet again showed they are a class above others by racking up some impressive wins. Nadal was up against the penultimate american left in draw, lucky loser Kevin Kim who was smothered with much ease and ruthlessness which is now becoming hallmark of Nadal at clay, where he today notched his 55th victory.

On the other hand, Fed has had to play against a rather accomplished player, Massu from chile who is currently the Gold Medallist from Athens 2004 Olympics and has racked up most number of wins on clay this year, even more than the beast Nadal. First two set swere quite amazing, considering the way Rog was controlling thegame nad he absolutely rolled over the chilean but then late in 3rd set when he was serving to finish the match - a sudden spark in chilean lead him to a commendable fightback where he broke rog's service and eventually went on to win the tie break. Must be quite frustrating but later on Fed was back to his usual authorative self and finished off in 2 and a half hours. Good practice he got and hopefully will not be pushed by Thomas Berdych in next round, who btw, defeated him at Athens `04.

I am really not too interested in women's matches except for the fact that most of my eye candies are from tennis :p. today found one reasonably good one.. jelena jankovic who btw is not a bad player , unfortunately had to runinto a steaming mauresmo.

Anyhow , that was a little update about today's game .. hopefully tomorrow will throw up surprises !
