Great day of tennis for me. Federer finally won the French and I made the quarterfinals for my state tennis tournament.

Congrats to Federer for finally winning the French. He deserves it. It would really be special if he gets #15 at Wimbledon.
Wow that's awesome. Keep it up!
It was a good final and Federer definately deserved it. I think that he could've beaten Rafa anyway because he was playing on a very high level. He served more aces in three sets than he had in 5 set games in the past and his drop shots looked great. He moved well and there was just no competition. I am so glad he won. BTW the fan that harrased him (prolly a rafa fan because of the barcelona flag) scared the shit out of me. What id he had some sort of weapon. Its disturbing.
Does anyone know what the deal is about Nadal's knee, or whatever happened to him? I heard the announcer say something about it during the Federer - Soderling match.
Nadal is having some kind of knee problem (not tendonitis, which he has had for quite a bit) that is forcing him to withdraw from Queens, and might jeopardize his participation at Wimbledon.
If he misses Wimbledon, his number 1 ranking is going to be highly suspect.

Did you guys see that clown thing that jumped onto the court during the finals?
I remember the security guard totally kicked his ass.

Yeah, I saw him. Those security guards tackled him down pretty fast.
He got wrecked lol.
Lost in the quarters today to the 1 seed, 6-2, 6-1. Too good for me, just couldn't handle those 100 mph serves.

I think this year will be Federer's year, Nadal's not fit enough to compete properly and Djokovic has never really shown too much on grass. I do think Murray will win it eventually, but just not this year. I just feel Federer will be going for it so much due to him being able to break Sampras' record.
Well I don't see anyone else winning it as Murray and Djokovic will probably choke like usual.
If Fed wins this then he will no doubt be best of all time if he isn't yet. Nadal overdid himself.
I am amazed at how much better some people have gotten over the past few years. Including Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
Is that like an elaborate troll or do you not realize that there has been no match yet. (misread hewitt for murray somehow!) SORRY!
Looking forward to Murray/Roddick actually! It's going to be interesting how Murray does under pressure.
Haas is playing great tennis too, so I wouldn't be suprised if he drops it off to 5 sets.

Can't wait to see Fed vs Haas and Murray vs Roddick!
Hmm. Federer has in the past been pushed very far by Haas. The 07' Australian open, the 09' French open. Haas has even had match points up against Federer. So I think we can expect a great match. Federer always pulls through though. Roddick is a very good player. A very capable player, I don't trust Murray to beat anyone or to lose to anyone. He can play brilliantly and very poor on any given days. So making a predict is too difficult. I would like to see Roddick win though.
Did anyone see the Federer v. karlovic match? His serves are wicked!
The Murray v. Roddick match was awesome, but the funny thing was is that Murray got more aces than Roddick. Roddick played really well today.
