Anybody else find it sad that Dinara Safina is #1 in the world? I mean I like Safina, but yea, compared to the top heavy men's side, the women's is in shambles |

Chris Evert could come back and make the semis. |

Djokovic out in straights. At least this eases the path to Nadal/Federer IV. Of which I'm certain Nadal will make it out of his half, Federer I'm less sure. I think I've stopped caring about Women's tennis. |

Federer's not a lock, but he's got to be the favourite now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I just hope he doesn't blow it. |

If there was no nadal, federer would have won all 3 previous french opens. He really looked good at least 1st 2 years. Now federer aura is gone. He is just part of the crowd. I dont think it will hurt his legacy bcos he is not even close to his peak. |

Its funny but when Nadal won the Oz Open I said that most likely Federer will win the French - lost grand slams for both players. |

Well Federer just had no trouble at all. |

Well, he's sure not making it easy on himself right now. |

And he's through in five. Nice of him to give the crowd some more tennis. Both finalists didn't play their best today, but if Federer is ever going to win a French Open it's on Sunday. |

I really hope Fed can win, but Soderling has just been a giant-killer so far. We'll see. |

Didn't see the match, but I'm guessing Safina's rage right now is something to behold... |

| Post subject: | Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09 |
I think he's in the top 3 regardless of tomorrow: Laver, Sampras, Federer. He's not a definitive number one if he wins tomorrow, and probably won't be a definitive number one until he wins a calendar grand slam or at the very least evens up the H2H with Nadal. Of course being 2-8 vs Nadal on Clay doesn't help that, but it's not horrible considering Nadal's one of the top 2 greatest clay courters ever, and I'd be shocked if by career's end he's not considered the greatest. I hope the final is better than Kuznetsova/Safina. But then again I've lost interest in Women's Tennis since Henin retired last year. |

The only real story on the Women's side was Sharapova's strong comeback, if she continues to gain strength before Wimbeldon she has to be a favorite to go deep. Safina looked like she might actually deserve number one early on, but I don't know, she just doesn't have it in finals. |

1) Laver - He won 2 GRAND SLAMS(when you had to win all the 4 to call it grand slams). I think there was a period when Laver did not play slams bcos professionals did not play slams. That was 5 years (63-67 at his peak). I think he would have won > 20 majors but for that. 2) Borg - He won French open 6 times and Wimbledon 5 times. Contrasting success makes it better than sampras/federer. Federer will be ahead of sampras if he wins tomorrow. I will put him above borg if he wins another 3-4 majors after french open. But he will never be the GOAT unless he wins true GRAND SLAM. |
