Anyone else following the French Open? Robin Soderling upset Nadal. But he'll lose to Federer in the finals because he seems to only have one plan and Federer will be able to adapt to it.

I don't follow it very closely, but I do enjoy watching.

I love watching it because you can see the psychology of each player pretty clearly.

Fucking Gonzalez lost! and he was so close to win

I watched the Federer/Del Potro match today... fucking amazing tennis, felt a bit sorry for del potro towards the end. Can't wait for the final

Del Potro played an amazing match, he had been very consistent until he pretty much collapsed at the end.

Federer's probably going to win this, but Soderling has been a nice surprise.

I wish I could have watched the Federer match today, but I don't have the Tennis Channel I really hope he wins on Sunday.

I enjoy watching.

Wait, let me restate that.

I enjoy watching Simona Halep.

There. That's much better.

Yeah I love some of the tennis players' tight bodies...

I can't believe I havent watched a single game of this French Open yet. Very disappointed that Nadal lost.

I hope Roger can make it on Sunday. Soderling is playing incredibly so it's going to be really hard.

I don't know who to support in this final. I really want feds to get his first french open, but i like swedenland and so soderling by association.

anyway should be a fantastic match tonight can't wait

My enjoyment of Tennis seems to go on and off, but right now I'm pretty into it. Soderling played extremely well in the final set against Gonzalez. Maybe if I wake up early enough, I'll watch some of the final.

It seems there is a good chance Nadal will be out for Wimbeldon. Not really a fan of Nadal anyways, but this should open up things for Federer to pass Sampras' record of 14 grand slams.

So anyone watching this? Solid few opening games from feds

Fudge.
I was really rooting for Soderling, but Federer just played great.

ALL HAIL KING ROGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great game, deserved win for the king!

wtf i didn't know the final was so early, damn missed it. oh well. i can't belivable roger is younger than me, he looks old.

Awesome win for Federer, can't wait for Wimbledon.

Yeah pretty one sided. I wasn't really cheering for Soderling but a 4 or 5 set match would have been awesome.

did anyone get a gif of that spanish dude messing with federer?

holy big tits

You don't see boobs that big on tennis players very often

i read somewhere that she actually wants to reduce them to improve her playing.

Anyone watching the final. Roddick's playing pretty strong so far...UNTIL NOW

Wow! Fed saves 4 set points to claim the second set! And two with Roddick's serve. Great game so far.

Hell yeah Roger! 2 sets to 1. Roddick is still playing great though.

Yeah wow that was incredible. When feds made that backhand 'pick-up', i was thinking "this guy is incredible, how can roddick be competing?!" and then feds went crazy.

still hasn't been broken

I'm pulling for Roddick.

Yeah and that will give him a great chance in the 5th, since there is no tie break.
We'll dee if he can take the 4th with his serve now.

come onnnnnnnnnn andy!

yea, rods seems to have the edge if he keeps up his service game. insane match.

No worries guys, Roger is winning this one.

Federer is getting his ass handed to him.

Roddick has bitched and moaned about every hawkeye decision.

so has federer, i think there's something wrong with the hawkeye thing cuz both of them look really confused on some of those calls.

This match is never going to end...

norbert88

insane!

I hope Andy wins so Nadal doesn't lose nº1

shit its 3am in sydney, i wonder how much sleep i'll get tonight

So can they just ask for a tie breaker at some point?

or a nap or something, geez. this is insane. that game was pretty dangerous for feds but THOSE ACES!! so clutch.

me too, and I generally dislike Roddick.

fuck this match

COME ON!!

edit: sigh. this is the game that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend...

edit 2: come onnnnnnn....

edit 3: HOLY FUCK YEAAAAA that was amazing

Championship point.

aaaaand it's over.

Well that sucks.

Federer = GOAT

What a match. My two favorite players in a five-set marathon. I really hope Andy can keep playing at such a high level, he deserves another grand slam title.
