Chin up Rog!

Few days? Hell, take the whole month Rog, it’s not like you’re gonna win the Roland Garros :)

No, seriously, I wish Fed would get his game back and make tournaments that more interesting. His game is definitely missed by all tennis afficionados, because his style is unique among the top players. It’s not interesting watching a player like Fed and expecting him to lose a match.

I can’t comment before the FO draw comes out but last two Slams RF has run into a very in-form Djokovic. The losses before those at last year’s FO and Wimby were more concerning but then Soderling also has done something at the FO two years in a row for everyone to take notice (knocked the No.1 player out). Let’s not forget Roger’s been seminfinalist at the FO in 2005, runner up in 2006, 2007, 2008 and won in 2009. Grand Slams is where the top 3 are distinctly superior to all the other players on tour. Of course Roger will have to probably beat both Nadal and Djokovic now but I won’t count him out before the quarters. And after that anything can happen. Seems unlikely given Roger’s recent losses to lower ranked players like Gasquet and Melzer but not impossible. Go Rog!

Oh, Roger, Roger my darling.

Stop talking. Go practice.

(And I’m talking about your focus. Your shots are fine. That match with Richard – who played wonderfully – was down to a few points. Practice your focus.)

‘I’m looking forward to a few days off’ – talk about making lemonade out of lemons. I wouldn’t call winning the first set and having the other two go to tiebreaks ‘playing poorly’. I don’t think he’s going to win the French Open though, or any other tournaments for that matter. But I’m glad he’s staying on the tour.
