Looks like Serena will reach 20 Grand Slams and my money is on Djoker to win the men's draw however I am still holding out hope for Tonga to take that next step and be a formidable threat in the grand slams. Wawrinka is still in as well as he spanked Federer the other day.
Would love Tsonga to make the final. He isn't the same threat he was 2 years ago in Majors and has been on a slide until this tournament.
Murray is playing his best ever clay court stuff but it's a huge ask to get past Djokovic in that kind of form. Getting the booze in and watching both the Semi (erect) finals today.
Murray is 2 sets down. :(
I'm glad Novak beat Nadal, if only because I'm still a Federer fan, and do not want Nadal approaching Federer's career majors titles record just yet. The fan's mind works in mysterious ways.....

BBC Sport - French Open: Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic halted by weather
Stan Wawrinka could cause an upset.
On his day Wawrinka is as good as anyone.
I felt sorry for Novak Djokovic when he started crying.
Wow and here I thought Federer had lost against an inferior opponent.
when did he start crying ?
Wawrinka surprised me. Have noticed him getting better this past year and thought he'd be the one to take over eventually from the big four - never realised though he was 30 already and been a pro 13 years !
Fair play to the bloke
Can't beat a nickname - Stan the Man !
Would love to see Fed win one more and Djokovic do the career slam.
Wonder how much longer Nadal will be around ?
Yeah Wawrinka was a good pro, always around 15-25 ranked.Quote:

Wawrinka looks like he should be fat. I've got a soft spot for the single handed backhand players. Stan was hitting some bullets.
This is undoubtedly the greatest golden age in the history of men's tennis.
Only five men in the modern era have won all the Grand Slams, two of those five are Federer and Nadal .... And Djokovic has won three out of the four.
McEnroe, couldn't do it, nor could Borg, Conners, Nastase, Sampras, Lendl, Becker, Edberg, Wilander or even the great Tim Henman.
When he was receiving his losers trophy the crowd kept on applauding and did not stop as he became more and more emotional. He seems to want the title bad!Quote:
