Wow. I know Soderling is solid, but I think Fed was 12-0 against him.

Federer had made at least the semi-finals of 23 straight Grand Slams. The previous record was 10.

I keep going back to the fact that Federer only won his French while Nadal was out, and he may see that as satisfying a goal of the career grand slam. Nadal's game is so much more suited for that surface that Federer looks scared when he plays him.

If Rafa stays healthy and plays the French every year, I'm not sure Federer ever wins another title there.

How about putting the spoiler in the message body next time, with a warning in the subject. I guess I'll be able to skip that match now.

there were scores and updates all over the place. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with it, I'm just not sure it's a regular practice. Could have sworn we've had SEC tournament updates too. Maybe not.

If he plays like he did today, he will give Nadal a run for his money.

and add to the fact that you usually catch up with the matches on tape delay in the evening.

Although the spoiler posts don't bother me.

He's on a mission. And yes, people who do like tennis do either TiVo it or watch the French Open Tonight. No spoilers would be appreciated. How 17ing hard is it to simply not post scores in the subject line? People who don't like tennis, why the hell are you even reading the thread anyway?</p>
