Default Roland Garros 2006

We shall have a beautiful summer this year. Not because of the weather , but because of the several big sportevents.

Grand Prix, World Cup 2006, Wimbledon and ..

ROLAND GARROS


The Grand Slam, which is so precious to Roger Federer, 'cause it's the only one he hasn't won yet. Today he played his 1st Round match against Hartfield, a player from Argentina. As expected, a difficult first opponent. Federer came behind 3-0 in the first set, but took it with 7-5 in the end. The 2nd set brought us a tie-break and the 3rd set was for Federer as well. Straight sets for the man from Switzerland, but it was tough.

Tommy Robredo (seed #7) advances as well. I'm curious to see Nalbandian & Nadal.

Marat Safin's little sister, Safina, is an outsider to look out for. She had a fantastic preparation in Rome where she defeated both Dementieva & Clijsters! She won her 1st Round match with 6-3 and 7-5 from Zvonareva.
