Roland Garros 2009

Federer meets Djokovic in the semis, Murray is in the other half of the draw


Djokovic lost yesterday.



Federer is left without the two best contenders for the title.
 
Murray has a shout now, really opened a route to the final for him that has.
 
Don't believe that, happy for the lad cos he deserved it.

Fed will never have a better chance now.
 
Historic stuff there from the French Open. That must have been the tennis equivalent of Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson! Federer must now feel this is his year. As for Murray, the draw has now opened up for him to reach the final, Gonzalez will be tough but this is an incredible opportunity he cannot afford to turn down.
 
feck me that Swede can hit a ball!
 
I don't think this is the way Federer would have wanted to win this(if indeed he does) but I imagine he'll take it.

Still, I can see Murray giving him a very tough match should they both make it that far.
 
Soderling will feel he can win it too remember, but will take some doing getting over what he's done today.

Aye, but the problem he has is he'd have to play at least that well a couple of more times against players who, unlike Nadal today, will likely be in pretty decent form.

I'm not sure he'll be able to repeat that a few times over.
 
Rafa must be devastated that it is precisely Soderling who beat him.


Disgrace of a player :

















:rolleyes:
 
Soderling deserved it today though, it was a mature performance.
