    The French is my least favourite of the grand slams. It's became too predictable, we more or less know Nadal will win it unless some sort of miracle takes place. Needless to say I don't believe in miracles.

    Nadal is looking in terrifying form. Can't see anyone else winning it. No doubt big Serena will win the Women's.

    Looks like Murray's gearing his whole season for Wimbers and the US.

    I hope Raffy wins it, I'm a little bit in love with him ;)

    I agree about the "dirt" awful surface, glad I don't have to do their washing, they get covered in the stuff and I bet it doesn't get clean easy lol

    Needless to say, I hope Fed wins or Nole or Ferrer.

    In fact, anyone but Rafa <cool>

    Rafa is a beautiful human being and I won't have you saying otherwise.

    Loved the way Tsonga took apart Federer, although he doesn't have a chance at winning it. Vika for da ladies to install a bit of Belarusian pride. Serena can **** off the brute.

    It's proper tennis so the S&V merchants don't win it.

    What a great semi-final match it was yesterday! I really thought Raffy was on his way out and couldn't bear to watch so I went out, I couldn't believe that he won it but was delighted and sad at the same time - that I'd missed it. No one can stop him now, Ferrer has no chance IMO.

    Incidentally, Ferrer beating Tsonga and so easily was a surprise!

    Not for me. Tsonga is so inconsistent, in contrast to Ferrer. Ferrer's top defence meant the only way Tsonga would beat him is by cutting out the unforced errors, Jo seems to thrive off the underdog tag, doesn't handle being favourite too well.

    Missed the final unfortunately.

    Seems like it was a pretty easy win for Nadal. Anyone know what the protest was about?

    Sterio, the semi was by far the better match, Raffy won the final in pretty straightforward style.
