Good morning. Please use this thread to discuss today's events at Roland Garros - two men's semifinals. First up, Rafael Nadal against Novak Djokovic, in a best-of-five-set version of their battle for number two three weeks ago in Hamburg. I beiieve that there would still be a few points between them if Djokovic wins today -- but very few indeed. Secondly, Roger Federer takes on local hero Gael Monfils. The energy around the court should be massive - I will be there, along with MarieJ, and am looking forward to it.
For what it's worth, the head-to-head between Nadal and Djokovic is currently 7-3 in Nadal's favour, with four of those victories occurring on clay. Monfils has yet to take a set from Federer in three careeer meetings, including their encounter in Monte Carlo a few weeks ago.
Rain is forecast in Paris today, of the light variety.
As always, enjoy today's tennis.
