ROBIN SODERLING WILL FACE ROGER IN FINALS

Robin soderling was impeccable during this french open 2009. He started off well with a huge margin defeat by the First round, second and third round opponent. He faced the world No.1 Rafael Nadal in his fourth round. Robin played an outstanding tennis against Rafael Nadal. He won so easily in the first set and the second set was in a tiebreaker to lose for Robin. But Robin was outstanding with his serve as his first serve average speed is about 200km/hr. It is consistent with him. Rafael has no choice to face Robin as his return with forehand is too strong for Rafael to move even a step. Rafael lost his third and foruth set to lose the first ever Roland Garros. Robin faced Fernando Gonzalez and he fired the first two sets but Robin lost his thrid and fourht set. Even at the last set Robin was lagging 1-4. Then Robin soderling came back strongly to take 5 consecutive games to win the match 6-3, 7-5, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 against Fernando Gonzalez in semifinals to face Roger Federer in the finals. Roger will definitely be a tight contender as he is hungry to win this title. Let us hope for a complete entertainer.

SAFINA WINS A THRILLER

Dinara Safina, the No.1 seed won against Victoria Azarenka to reach the french open semifinals. She won against Victoria Azarenka 1-6, 6-4, 6-2. Victoria started the match with the first set heavy double break points. The first set completed in just 23 minutes while the second set rallied for a long of 50 minutes. Safina was very tough to beat and she become ard as cement in the second set. She won by breaking 3 of the 4 break points while Azarenka break only 2 of her 2 break points. In the third set safina took two break points and easily opted her third set to qualify for her semifinals. Safina will play Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova in the last four after the 20th seed ended Maria Sharapova's revival in style, crushing her 6-0 6-2. Safina is very hard defeat at this level as she hasn't took any grand slam so far. So she will be very much hungry to pick the title.

MURRAY "THE ALL TIME FAVOURITE ENTERS QUARTER"

Andy Murray passed to the quarterfinals after a long fight against Marin Cilic 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 and reach his last eight for the first time. From the start both the contenders were fighting hard and each of them broke in their first game of their first set. Finally Murray wins a thriller in tie-breaker. The first set was a tale of two in-form players exchanging blows but Murray broke at 5-5 before serving out. Murray took the second set on a tie-break after breaks were exchanged and the third seed stormed past a deflated Cilic in the third to wrap up victory. Gonzalez, the 12th seed from Chile, claimed an emphatic 6-2 6-4 6-2 win against Victor Hanescu. The pair have played twice previously - Gonzalez triumphed in Basel in 2005 and Murray in New York in 2006 - but never on clay. Murray will definitely win against Gonzalez in the quarter finals.

VENUS OUT OF FRENCH OPEN

Venus williams crashes out of the third round in French open against Agnes Szavay in straight sets 6-0, 6-4. Venus didnt play good tennis and Agnes played a fantastic tennis and she played with excellent timing and placement.

Safina will next play against 27th seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who beats France's Julie Coin 6-2, 7-6 (7-2). Safina extended her winning streak to 17 matches in Roland Garros. Safina is very confident that she can win the title. Safina haven't won a grand slam so far. If she won this then it will be the firt grand slam and first in Roland Garros. She said there are tough competitors and I need to play good tennis and make myself confident against any opponent.

VENUS, JELENA KUZNETSOVA IN THIRD ROUND

In another match Jelena Jankovic won against Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova 6-1, 6-2. She played not an excellent tennis eventhough she won to get past the second round. Serbian star Jankovic will play Jarmila Groth of Australia for a place in the last 16.

Svetlana Kuznetsova ranking No.7 won so easily against her opponent Galina Voskoboeva of Kazakhstan 6-0, 6-2. She just crushed the match in 49 minutes. She is more powerful and she has to be watch on for this title.

FRENCH OPEN IS ALL SET TO OPEN ON SUNDAY

French Open is approaching and all the players landed in Roland Garros. Top players like Nadal, Federer, djokovic and Murray were set for a big platform. Nadal will look forward to win his fifth grand slam in French Open. Federer will also look forward to match Pete Sampras. Federer recently won against Nadal in Madrid open and it will be a bonus to Federer as he win Nadal in clay court. Fans were extremely happy as they can see a fantastic contest. Nadal will meet only either Djokovic or federer in the final. Nadal most likely to meet andy murray in the semifinals. Nadal said that his only pressure is to play good tennis against anybody and comeback with his form.

SAMPRAS WILL MEET AGASSI IN AN EXHIBITION MATCH

King of Tennis in 1990's Pete sampras will be seen shortly against his long time rival and his countrymen Andre Agassi playing in an exhibition match on October 25 in Macau. Pete sampras is the only man to win 14 grand slam title and Roger Federer will be seen equal in wimbledon as Pete sampras hasn't won any title in Roland Garros. So as Roger Federer too.

Last year Roger federer came close to match Sampras in the number of Titles but Rafael Nadal won against him in the upcoming grand slam. This french Open will be a tight competition as Federer seen with soem come back after winning the Madrid open final against Rafael Nadal. Sampras said, " Roger was in hungry to win the french open and match him".

He has a bright chance in his wimbledon as it is his favourite spot. Sampras said Agassi is always my rivalry as he play some good tennis and he has excellent serving capacity.

RICHARD GASQUET WILL MISS FRENCH OPEN AS COCAINE TEST RESULTS POSITIVE

Richard Gasquet on Monday was suspended because of the following positive cocaine test and will miss the French Open. Gasquet was a good player and he was just 22 years old and if he is found to be true then he will miss out a 2 year ban otherwise he will be suspended till the enquiry gets over. The process will complete only after 60 days. He is a french player and he will miss the french open this year. ITF spokesman Neil Robinson said. "We're now assembling an anti-doping tribunal. The ideal time frame is within 60 days, but people have to fly in from all over the world for it." Gasquet ranked No.21 was ranking as No.7 since july 2007. He had right shoulder injury and returned sometimes late to comeback. If he found to be positive then It is a big shame to french government.

WHO WILL FIGHT IN FRENCH OPEN FINALS

I dont have any doubt in Nadal reaching the final but I have doubt whether the opponent will be Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray or someone else. Most of the people are having some frame of mind that Roger have lost his form and he cannot compete with Nadal or Djokovic. But I feels that Roger is man born to win and he will do it. He needs this Grand slam to equal Pete Sampras. If he lost this it will make a big mess in his career. He has a son now and he needs to dedicate it to him.

SHARAPOVA RECOVERING FROM SURGERY

Maria Sharapova formerly the world No.1 moved on to No.64 as she was suffering from her right shoulder surgery. She may miss out her next upcoming next week's Italian Open and the Madrid Open the following week as she recovers from right shoulder surgery. She played only one in this year on March 12 and she lost that too. She is an excellent player and she looks beautiful as well. I think she will regain her confidence and come back strongly in the french open.

SAFINA WON HER FIRST MATCH AS No.1

Dinara Safina has been the world No.1 for second week has won her first match after No.1 against Sara Errani 6-0, 6-1 on Tuesday to reach the second round of the Porsche Grand Prix.
