Thread: French Open 2012

Anyone here a tennis fan?

Well.... it's Federer vs. Djokovic in one semifinal, and Nadal vs. Ferrer in the other. Who does everyone like? Personally, I've always been a Federer fan, and continue to root for him to win more major titles. It's probably uphill for him, with Djokovic being the #1 seed, and Nadal being the best player on clay courts on the planet. But what the hell. With Ferrer winning, we're assured to have a Spaniard in the final, which 90% probability will be Nadal. I just hope neither Nadal nor Djokovic overtakes Roger as the greatest tennis player ever. So far the matches I've seen have been great.

I am a Federa fan too and hope he can win more grand slams especially Wimbledon but on clay he will lose.

I'm a Murray fan, but he's out so player number 2 is Federer. I like my underdogs.

I hope Nadal loses.

Me too. Actually, I wouldn't mind if he suffered a major upset in the semis. That way, if Federer gets past Djokovic... he'd have a better chance to take the French Open. No way I think Roger beats both Djokovic AND Nadal.

I've nothing against Nadal who is quality, but an upset is always more fun.

Should be a cracking evening of tennis.

Good to know

DAMN. It's still not over, but Federer is already down 2-0 in sets to Djokovic. And he was ahead in both sets. I'm not liking this later stage of Federer's career, when he lacks the killer instinct to finish off matches. I hope I don't regret this... but I'm shutting the TV off. Federer's done. And he's not getting any younger, so his chances at another major title before he retires are dimishing fast.

Sharapova is in the final, what a beautiful woman.

Agreed 100%. Also, I'm glad she's back to # 1, and hope she wins the title tomorrow.

I hope you fall down on the floor celebrating and we can see her pinck knickers again.

Difference between her and Anna Kournikova: Anna was the previous tennis sex symbol, but was an underachiever on the courts. Had the talent, but not the drive. Maria, on the other hand, has the model looks AND the talent and drive to win championships. Makes her even more sexy, in a way.

Well..... she's the French Open champ, and the #1 ranked female tennis player in the world. She also not only speaks fluently in English... but she does fairly well in French... and I'm assuming she can speak Russian. She's also tall and beautiful.

Hmmm..... she probably snores.

Not everyone is perfect.

Anyone else watch the men's final? It was great... Djokovic going for a Grand Slam, and Nadal going for his record French Open title. Nadal won this morning, after having had the match suspended due to rain on Sunday. There were some incredible changes in momentum during the match, and also some great tennis!

Think the rain definitely saved Nadal, otherwise I thought he would have lost. Glad he won a record 7th title, beat my all time favourite player Borg.
