Twelve months ago I was in Paris, with Philippe Chatrier tickets for the first Monday and Tuesday. and if I'd have found out that Rafa was scheduled on Suzy Longlong ... the Parisian air would have turned blue. I do think as defending Champion and 8 time winner, Rafa deserved more. But let's move on.
He made mincemeat out of the Ginepri, and in a way, justified one of the bizarre excuses the FFT gave for putting him on there - sadly. But considering last year I could scarcely bear to watch as Rafa was a tie-break away from going two sets down, I'll take an almost whitewash match any day. Rafa was assertive, confident and aggressive ... fabulous to watch. Give him Suzy Longlong for the rest of the tournament I say!!
Only joking ... *wink*
But the story of the day is of course The Hobbit's loss. Oh how I laughed ... for longer than 10 minutes. So you can defeat anyone can you Stanford? Stan the Man is a favourite for the French Open is he? And this readers, is why I was glad that he wasn't drawn in the PoD's half. I never thought he'd get to the semi-final and now he's on his way home. *waves*
There's something about Rafa this French Open. He's got his swag on ... and I love it.
