Mornin', folks. Those of you who have been desk jockeys since the opening day at Roland Garros can immerse yourself in tennis once again today. Happy Saturday. I'll be at my usual post today, but not entirely sure what I'll be writing about. I'm eyeing up the Court Suzanne Lenglen schedule; I see serious entertainment potential in the match-up of David Ferrer and Mikhail Youzhny, followed immediately by defending champ Li Na's meeting with the steadily rising young American Christina McHale.
My upset special, though, is Tommy Haas over Richard Gasquet. I was not very impressed yesterday when I saw that Gasquet was complaining about how worn out he felt after what, by any standard, was a relatively swift, easy win over Grigor Dimitrov - and one in which Dimitrov's cramping issues played a significant role.
The thing with Gasquet, in my mind, is that he's always there to be beaten. All you need to do is step up. I guess we'll see if Haas can pull it off soon enough.
