Santoro: ´Federer´s the best player I ever faced. The dirtiest player? Coria, he´s a cheater´

So many gems in here. Safin WAG. Berdych was a young ****. That Marcelo Rios quote about Sampras is brilliant. Coria WAC.

Today looks a washout as well.

The radar looks a *bit* better than yesterday. Which is kinda annoying as they can't make the call early again.

Just been on the RG site and it has nothing more on than yesterday's statement..and said 11am start..
Just get a roof on the place!!! French...slow at moving forward with their architecture..!!

 

[Jono]

they're playing. woohooo

 

[Jono]

delay hurt Hale and Radwanska big time. Lucky for both of them its raining again, so it may hurt Stosur and Pironkova when they return, halting their momentum

 

[Jono]

Also Novak lost the first to Bautista!

 

[vogue]

So much rain...

 

[Cabinet96]

Man, I kind of wish they'd just play tomorrow...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Fairly sure this will be the last break.

Grim weather for tennis though.

 

[Niall]

Good lord Stosur why can't you play like that more often?

RBA breaks back in the 2nd set.

Djokovic takes the 2nd set 6-4, though he looks oddly out of sorts. Reckon today's his off-performance out of the way for this tournament (e.g. Simon in the Australian Open).

Another average showing from Halep in a Slam.

Pironkova in a French Quarter final is genuinely WTF.

Looks like his neck causing discomfort.

 

[Cabinet96]

It's basically not a grand slam these days unless Djokovic flirts with exit in the 4th round.

 

[vogue]

And off again...

 

[morgieb]

This tournament is a ****ing joke. Until they install a roof and get floodlights, Paris should lose its Grand Slam licence.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

And replace it with a hard court major in Beijing?

Anyway we'd still have a huge backlog of matches even with one roof. It would have stopped TV people talking about it though, the damage would merely be shifted to sub-top-10 players and travelling fans whom no one cares about anyway.
