Haha , yes funny!

Here's another funny one.



Translation:

1st frame:  Stan sweating as French media headlines put the pressure on him.  Stan favorite for Roland Garros, second grand slam, #1 in the world

2nd frame:

"Going to ask Roger how he handles pressure to spend quiet nights..."

3rd frame:  No translation needed.  Haha

Tomorrow's schedules, folks. Nadal is opening on Suzanne Lenglen court. Looks bizarre but I understand he's not comfortable with the conditions at Philippe Chatrier just yet as reports say he's sort of complained about it and may have personally asked for Suzanne specifically.

While Isner won in straight sets he really had it in 3 tough sets. Looks like Herbert put up a strong fight against Isner in the opening round. A few 5 setters here and there but not serious upsets. The top seeds got it done in 3.

Monday still looks rainy but Tuesday and Wednesday have cleared up so far. It's looking much  better now.

Robby Ginepri, Nadal's 1st round opponent, is ranked 279!! lol I honestly thought he had retired. Somehow he made it to the draw again. Has no credential on clay after all these years. Should be a very easy match for Nadal.

That is hilarious. Thanks for the translation. It's amazing how so many words have the same root in so many languages.

I think the French organizers are just being rude and ignorant.


the guy is a 8 times RG champion and a defending champion. they had no business putting him on the side court tomorrow.

Isner also doesn't understand why a player and a champion of nadal's stature is being relegated to a side court.


its just the French organizers being inconsiderate and ignorant. I am not too happy about it.

That some absolute BS! I don't know people can be so nasty. An 8 time champion is put behind two no time winners, and two one time winners? That's ridiculous.

It's just a total mind game. There is no excuse for that. At all.

#9 Nishikori escorted off the premises by Martin Klizan in a rather easy 3 after a tight first set.  Martin played well, and not much fight from Kei after dropping the first set in the tiebreaker.  But he's probably playing injured.

Raining now.  Sousa serving 1-4 to Djokovic, who got broken just before the rain suspended play.

Too bad about Nishikori. He did tell the Japanese media prior to RG that he wouldn't have played this week if this wasn't a Slam. He hasn't recovered from his injury that happened against Nadal in Madrid final yet.

well we knew there was 90% chance for rain.


also they deliberately screwed with rafa's schedule. he was in the top 1/2 and the top seed. he should have been given a chance to play on the first day.

As I mentioned before, it could very well be Nadal himself who put the request through to the Organizers to play on Suzanne Lenglen court and it's the 2nd biggest court, not a side court. Top players are supposed to play at least one match over to Suzanne and Nadal's opponent is ranked 279 after all, so it's really not crying for a bigger draw as big a player as Nadal is. 

In any case, it's not about the ego but getting the job done. Can't speak for anyone else but I'd be perfectly fine with Andy not opening his first match on CC at Wimbledon though I am quite convinced most Murray fans would see it as an insult.
