I won't blog about the match in great detail as i was unable to watch it; i only followed it in the rolandgarros.com point tracker. But i provide this quote which aptly sums it up: "I've got enough shirts for five-set matches in the bag, I only used one today." - TMF.
Really though, this match was very close at first (as evidenced by the 7-6(3) first set). Youzhny broke feds early on (first break all tournament) and got up 2-0 quick. If youzhny holds serve at 3-2 and gets up 4-2 he likely wins the set. The match is entirely different from that point on as a set would have only fueled youzhny's 'giant killer' mentality. Fortunately feds broke back evened it up at 3-3 and then played solid from there on out in the match (despite being broken once more).
Next up is robredo who federer easily dispatched in the australian open. however, robredo is a spaniard and like nadal tends to excel on clay (having won two of his four titles at barcelona and hamburg). Should prove to be a good match.
However, on the women's side there is a match that i think will be even more intriguing. Serena will square off against defending champion justine henin. should be an excellent match. the resurgent williams against the top-dog of women's tennis. i sparingly watch women's tennis, but i will likely tune into this one if i can find a tv.
that's all on a tennis note. i would blog about the cavs winning the eastern conference finals, but i couldn't find a single place here showing it. they were all showing rugby or footie (soocer). so instead, i'll wait for choi to offer his thoughts and then add anything i can muster up in the comments.
go roger.
