Weekend Preview: French Open 2008



Tennis on Directv was really intense this week.

I am taking a peak at the draws, prior to Saturdays action. There are a lot of good matches on the ticket. Roger aka our heavenly father is facing Croatian Mario Ancic. Federer has already lost 7 matches this year.

Elsewhere:

Davydenko v. Ljubicic

Hewitt v. Ferrer




On the women's side, after the Williams sisters had their faces rubbed in red clay, there isn't a single American girl left. On the men's side, there is 1 American. His name is Robby Ginepri. He's a good kid but he hasn't got a chance in hell to win this thing.

I said it on my Australian Open blog, and I'll say it here again: American Tennis sucks. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

When tomorrows tennis concludes, we will be down to 16 clay warriors on each side. The stakes will get higher with each successive round. Hearts will be broken. The red clay of Roland Garros is a beautiful thing indeed.

Have a great weekend all!
