What a day of upsets in Paris. If you can call them upsets. I had picked both Roger Federer and Kei Nishikori to pull through on this quarterfinal Tuesday at the French Open, and they both lost. But in different ways.

First to go down was Federer. And it wasn’t even close. Stan Wawrinka had only beaten Roger twice in 18 career meetings, both times in Monte Carlo. In their four …

Following a dramatic 5-set win over Kei Nishikori, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga celebrated like few have on Chatrier. Tsonga stormed out to a 61, 52 lead until the match was stopped for 35 minutes when part of the scoreboard broke off falling on fans.

Once play resumed Tsonga lost his momentum. He did win the second but dropped the next two. Eventually, though, he wore out the 25-year-old 61, 64, 46, …

The Jo-Wilfried Tsonga-Kei Nishikori semifinal was delayed approximately 35 minutes after a piece of the stadium scoreboard flew off landing in the crowd injuring at least two.

2015 French Open women’s quarterfinal match-ups and predictions:

(1) Serena Williams vs. (17) Sara Errani

Serena is 7-0 career versus Errani and hasn’t lost a set in their last four meetings. Four of those matches were on clay, where Serena hasn’t lost a set. Errani can’t hit her way out of a paper bag on clay, and her second serve is a bunny. Even this year’s sub-par Serena shouldn’t have a problem.
Winner: …

We are still two days away from a colossal quarterfinal showdown between the two favorites at the French Open, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. But until then, here are some numbers to chew on.

Our super Wednesday quarterfinal is set, and I’m not talking about Andy Murray and David Ferrer. Of course I’m talking about Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic who will meet for the 44th time on Rafa’s birthday at the French Open.

Nadal leads Djokovic 23-0 and 6-0 at the French Open. It’s the fourth straight year they will meet.

But we are still 48 hours or so away from that one…

As for today, …

The carnage continued on the women’s side of the draw at the French Open on Monday, where now only two Top 10 seeds, including world No. 1 Serena Williams, are among the eight quarterfinalists.

Upset victims on Monday were No. 2 seed Maria Sharapova and No. 4 Petra Kvitova.

Sharapova, coughing throughout the match and seemingly struggling with a low-level illness, was out-slugged by No. 13 seed Lucie Safarova 7-6(3), 6-4, while …

The rains finally hit the French Open Sunday. But luckily we got three of the four men’s fourth round matches completed. Unfortunately, the main event didn’t get in.

Kei Nishikori opened by rolling through Teymuraz Gabishvili in straight sets. No surprise there as Kei’s just been way too tough against the guys he should beat, and he goes into his quarter super fresh, without dropping a set.

Dropping a set is just …

Former champion Ana Ivanovic advanced to the quarterfinals Sunday on a rainy Sunday. The Serb waited out a 2 hour, 30 minute rain delay to put away Ekaterina Makarova 7-5, 3-6, 6-1.

“The conditions were very tough. It was very gusty, and rain was coming at times,” Ivanovic said. “I was really happy I managed to keep composed when we got back on court after the rain delay. Even though I …

A week into the second Grand Slam, from 128 we are down to just 16 players in the men’s draw at the French. And many of the 16 are just who you thought would be there.

Rafael Nadal looks good. Looks really good.

Novak Djokovic has been his usual self. Roger Federer has gotten through an easy draw. David Ferrer, Tomas Berdych are hanging around. We have a quintet of Frenchmen and …

Defending champion Maria Sharapova won her ninth straight match at the French Open defeating former finalist Sam Stosur 6-4, 6-3. The two met a year ago in the fourth round with Sharapova overcoming a set and a break down to win. This time, it was much easier for the 2-time French Open champion.

“I was just really happy to win this one,” Sharapova said. “I knew it was going to be …

Roger Federer cruised into his 11th straight French Open fourth round blowing out 88th-ranked Damir Dzumhur 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 on a cool Friday in Paris.

The win sets up the Swiss for a tasty match Sunday against French favorite Gael Monfils who overcame a two break, 4-1 fourth set deficit to beat a choking Pablo Cuevas in five 4-6, 7-6(1), 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in 3 hours, 22 minutes.

“Paris is different; [it] …

After a Day One security faux pas, the French Open has stepped up its security detail in a major way. Just look how many security officials are surrounding Roger Federer as he walks the grounds at Roland Garros today.

Federer rolled past Damir Dzumhur to reach his 11th straight French Open fourth round. On Sunday, he’ll meet the winner of the ongoing Gael Monfils-Pablo Cuevas …

One of the more salacious stories from week one at the French Open was an article from Australian GQ about Nick Kyrgios and his sex habits.

When asked about practicing abstinence before matches, the 20-year-old Kyrgios was having none of that. “I don’t abide by that rule,” Kyrgios told the magazine. “I don’t abide by that at all.”

And what about life on the tour as a pro?

“There’s definitely some advantages,” Kyrgios …

Following her third round 63, 60 win today over Donna Vekic, Ana Ivanovic was asked about the support she gets from her boyfriend and rumoured fiancee Bastian Schweinsteiger who was sitting courtside.
