French Open

What a semi-final between Nadal and Djokovic last night, 4.5 hours of compelling, quality tennis. Can't imagine the final between Nadal and Ferrer will be quite so absorbing, Rafa would be strong favourite to win his 8th FO title tomorrow.

Hopefully Sharapova will provide Serena WIlliams with stronger opposition in the women's final, though the latter looks in fine form.

The men's final didn't live up to the level of the semi with an easy win to Nadal and into the history books as the only man to win the same GS eight times. Maybe a few more to come form the King of Clay!

The only drama came from the idiot protesters, nice take out by the security guys before he reached Nadal !!

Bring on Wimbledon now I say ;)
