Roland Garros 2009

Unfortunately I'm going to be at work tomorrow, so will probably miss the match if Roger drills him in 3 or 4 sets..it'll have to be a long 5 setter for me to watch any..

So..I hope I miss it, but c'mon Fed, as Agassi has said, if he wins tomorrow, he is the greatest ever. Fact
 
Final has begun!!

Federer breaks first game after a double fault on break point, 0-1. Early nerves from the Swede.
 
Wonderful shot to finish off the second game there by Federer.

I hope Soderling wakes up soon, want him to make it a competitive match.
 
feck that a 3-0 would be nice. I've already been tested enough by Federer this week.

Looks quality so far.
 
This is the Soderling we're used to, errors, looking a bit clueless. His game has such a high margin of error that it looks really bad when he's not on.

Great hold though, should give him a lot of confidence.
 
Federer's wondering how this guy beat Nadal on clay. He's been trying for years.
 
Great set from Federer, he lost the first 6-1 to Nadal last year, what a turnaround.
 
Nice spear tackle from the men in black, took them long enough. The guy that ran on was just a nut job but could have had a weapon or anything.
 
Soderling back to form now?

Rain coming, could take them off, it's not Wimbledon!
 
Yeah it does. Didn't you see the program on BBC a few weeks back? It was all about RG and the new roof.
 
I think that one's only ready in 2011 though, they don't have one now.
 
Roland Garros moving forward on retractable roof

Plans for a new retractable roof at Roland Garros are moving forward.

The roof is scheduled to be ready in 2011 to prevent rain delays at the French Open.

The French Tennis Federation chose an architect Wednesday, unanimously voting for Marc Mimram. Mimram is well known as the designer of the overpass that connects France and Germany across the Rhine River in Strasbourg.

The new roof at Roland Garros will cover the center court. The courts in a planned extension not far away from the main stadium are also set to get roofs.

Wimbledon is using a retractable roof on its center court for the first time this year.
 
Ah, it wasn't funny so it sounded serious.

Soderling's done well here. Regrouped a bit.

Fed went off a bit after that bloke came, probably feared another Seles!
 
Maybe.

Tiebreak!

Soderling's done bloody well to stay in this, can he nick it?
