Where is Andy Murray, OBE?
Shouldn't he be playing tomorrow?
Respectfully,

Never mind, I found him. They have him on Court 1, not on Chatrier, or Lenglen... insult in my opinion.

Townsend is a very good up and comer but she's a big girl. Moves very well for a big girl but I still feel she needs to get a bit more in shape. Doesn't look very athletic though but a powerhouse no doubt.

The French are getting their priorities as you can see Gasquet is scheduled to play on Philippe right after Nadal's match and Monfils is on court Suzy. French crowd and all, didn't surprise me much really.
And Andy is ranked 7 at the moment so I guess that also went into consideration.
But what I worry about this is that, Andy might get all grumpy over this and give a somewhat whatever performance. Hopefully that will motivate him instead.

Just off the top of my head, without any forethought, and having just seen this, I'm going out on a limb and predicting
F Lopez and R Gasquet are possible upsets.

rafa won easily but he is playing horrible tennis. I have never ever seen him move this poorly.
this is going to get real tricky for him. he has to find a way to lift his game. his next opponent is not much of a test but it will start getting more difficult after the 4th round.
he is moving poorly and his shots lack the depth and the venom. I am watching his match against dominic thiem now.
I am just hoping that he can find a way to hit his stride by the time semis arrive.
Howdy Camelotonians,
How's it going?
Roland Garros is unfolding with a few shocks - none bigger than Serena getting caned by the unheralded Spaniard Garbine Muguruza. Put a gun to my head and I'd put Maria Sharapova as the new favourite in the ladies singles.
Men's draw... Can't look too far beyond Novak and Rafa. Djokovic was unimpressive against Cilic - he's going to have to ramp up the tempo and find that killer instict - particularly when he's seemingly coasting in matches. I don't think Nadal has been that impressive either... but expect them both to make the finals.
