Roland Garros: In the Semis

Wow..too many upsets for this year’s RG Cup. Robin Soderling defeated the defending Champ Rafael Nadal, No7 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova defeated No2 seed Serena Williams and women’s defending champ defeated by No.9 seed Victoria Azarenka. I have been really upset for the defeat of the defending Champs and Maria. But as what Maria had said, that’s tennis and that is sport. No one is really invincible.

As you have read from my previous posts, I am following this tournament because of my fave players. But now that they’re out (Maria, Ana, & Rafa), I’ll now be cheering for world’s WTA #1 Dinara Safina and ATP’s #2, Roger Federer. So now, I make myself satisfied that Dinara is still on the go for the cup and will be facing No7 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova who just defeated No.2 seed Serena Williams. Hurray! Dinara for the win!

On the other hand, since Rafa is out of the way, I would love to see Roger Federer getting the RG crown. For now, I will be following the semi-finals round of both the men’s and women’s and I bet that the top 2 seeded players will go victorious, I hope so!

Rafa out, Ana out -- I still can't believe it...

As you would know, it has been a habit of me nowadays to check out on the Roland Garros site for updates on the ongoing French tournament on Tennis and to get sight of my faves namely the defending Champs Rafa Nadal and Ana Ivanovic. And since Maria Sharapova is now back on the tennis world, it made me visit the site more for updates and to see who's advancing up to the finals. Since the tournament is a Grand Slam, many players all over the world are participating hoping to grab the crown one day. It has also been a reason on why I have subscribed to Google news for more updates on the tournament.

But sadly, upon visiting my site this morning for new updates, it broke my heart to see that defending Champs Rafa and Ana has been eliminated from the tourney by Robin Soderling and Victoria Azarenka respectively in the 4th round of the tourney. Click here for the details of what really happened on the May 31st games. As what Rafa has said, "This is not a tragedy, losing here in Paris. It had to happen one day, and this is an excellent season for me. Of course it's a bit sad, but I have to overcome this as quickly as possible.”

Despite of that, I am still not totally down because my fave of them all, Maria, is on the go and advances to QF defeating the 25th seeded Na Li from China.


More Power Maria and Good Luck!
