Here's the deal. Novak Djokovic is by far the best tennis player in the world right now, but he lost to Andy Murray in the final of last week's Masters 1000 tournament in Rome, so just lol if he doesn't win, doubly so if Murray beats him in the final and gets a French Open first. http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/index.html The second slam of the year begins Sunday, May 22 and ends Sunday, June 5. Local time in Paris is 6 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Time. TV coverage generally starts at 5 a.m. ET every day on Tennis Channel with NBC coverage on the weekend. I guess ESPN didn't care to bid for coverage, so I'll be streaming like the rest of you. RIP ratings.

Just lol at Radwanska being the 2nd seed but 7th favorite.

French Open more like rain open amirite? Wawrinka was down 2 sets to 1 again Rosol but they're now in the 5th. Still lots of drama.

Bouchard getting schooled by Baczinsky right now.  Bouchard apparently reunited with her old coach, Nick Saviano. She must have begged him on her hands and knees to take her back.Haven't heard the Genie Army at all this match. How the mighty have fallen.

Ivanovic/Svitolina on now. I've tried to be a Svitolina fan in the past but her game is just too defensive, too much counter punching. She's basically another Wozniacki. We'll see if she cranks up the aggression to match Ivanovic's inconsistent offense.

Not many compelling matches today. Stan/Troicki could be good, Nishikori/Gasquet will be a grindfest, and Halep/Stosur will be "who fucks up less".

Glare Seethe posted:I think Nishikori v Gasquet is the obvious standout today, they're both entertaining shotmakers and Gasquet has a home crowd advantage. Can see that one going the distance. I'll probably watch Begu v Rogers over Wawrinka's match, feels like the type of match that can end up unexpectedly good, two unheralded players on a good run. Or it could be terrible in which case I'll switch. I wonder if John McEnroe is regretting his decision to become Raonic's coach. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 12:36 on May 29, 2016 |

Play suspended again. I hope this year's tournament gets completely shitwrecked. The French tennis federation are pussies and should have followed through with their threats to relocate the tournament, and the Paris city council are fuckers for being obstructionist.

The FO offers a 100% refund if there's less than 1 hour of play and a 50% refund is there's 1-2 hours. Djokovic and RBA played for... 2 hours 1 minute. What a loving scam.

My girl Svitolina may have gotten double breadsticked by Serena, but she lasted more than an hour, which is about all you can ask for.

Gasquet won the 1st 7-5 after being down 2-5. Gasquet went down 2-5 again in the 2nd and just tied it 5-5.
